With the release of Fable 5, I thought it would be fun to build and open-source a new MacOS screensaver using a metal shader, that way could also try building your own! Totally free, link to the repo below

Over the weekend I built a little slime pet with help of claude code. He hangs out, falls asleep, jumps around, and sings the lyrics to whatever song I have playing on spotify, I love him.

I was tired of not being able to browse my Twitter bookmarks more visually, so I made an infinite grid with the ability to filter by folder. Built on top of Andrew's great work. It's open source, I'll post the link below!

What if Macbook notch was a place you could store stuff? I'm building myself a MacOS app I'm calling Knapsack. It's essentially the inventory UI from Animal Crossing but as a clipboard manager. You can store stuff there, assign icons for that stuff (because why not), and more.

I built a new mesh gradient tool that can create beautiful gradients from photographs. The results are often dreamlike and capture a general vibe. I'm calling it Photo Gradient, it's free on web and soon a Figma plugin, link below

Built a new Figma plugin I call "Magic Messages". It generates entire conversations using ChatGPT and renders them using our design system at Discord. You can set a topic, # people talking, and # of messages. This way we can generate content for our designs more easily.

I'm really excited about our new Figma feature, variables. So, I built a new plugin I call "Find Variables" to help you find where they're being used across your design. It will be free and open source once it's published to Figma community!

I've been working on a new Figma plugin called Selection Text. It's a lightweight way to see how your text layers are styled in any given frame or set of frames. I designed it to be fast, lightweight, and feel native to Figma. I'll post an in-depth look once it's published!
