As software gets easier to make, the products that stand out will be the ones crafted with uncommon care. If that's the kind of work you want to do, I'm sharing everything I know:

Practical example of Brian's wisdom: I needed a new OG image for Graphical's Changelog I pushed this morning. Instead of drawing it in figma, I made a little tool in our app that I (and my agents, automatically) can now use to make branded images for any URL.

Hosted a small dinner with Marvin Schwaibold and Jaytel last night for a few friends and folks who inspire us. We wanted something more personalized than partiful, so went a bit overboard on this invite page (almost all Jaytel!). Amazing how many thoughtful details and decisions can be made on something so simple.

Ways I like to work and experiment: watching Marvin Schwaibold make some magic over a beautiful bottle of Burgundy.

Weekly reminder you are probably not iterating as much as you should be. Control iterations for Graphical (probably did 2x more than this, ultimately, and it's just v1).

When you're designing anything of even moderate interface interactivity or complexity, state machines are a great way to help you manage that. I make these all the time, and they're remarkably useful little tools.

I think so many concepts in design need to really be felt and played with, not just shown. That's why Interface Craft is full of interactive figures that demonstrate topics. I always look forward to making them; this is one of my favorites!

I really like that Emanuel Sá and Pieter Omvlee are trying something new and opinionated. Elyx already has the most polished agent install experience I’ve seen, excited to dig in more.

I was digging around the HyperCard 1.0.1 floppy image tonight, as one does, and found a curious private file: FONT 31756. It's a font file containing all of the glyphs for HyperCard's tool palette, likely created by Kristee Kreitman and Marge Boots (credited in the app for Graphic Art). I can't believe they were using this technique back in 1987, although it seems Bruce Tognazzini invented it with MouseText two years prior (!). I was moved, as I often am by the work of our field's forebears, so created this little tool for everyone to explore it here:

Here's an actual design engineering tip: Safari sucks at updating multiple WebGL video textures in the same frame, especially during interactions or animations on initial page load. To keep things buttery you'll wanna pause texture uploads during motion e.g: isMoving ? holdLastFrame() : gl.texImage2D(video)

$One of my favorite details for Interface Craft is one of the least used: the invoice tool. Customers can enter the unique tax or business info they need, see what they paid in localized currency along with any discounts, and download a PDF. Thankfully Stripe makes this all fairly easy. It's something only a fraction of users see, but I think great design is sometimes about facilitating all of the edge cases to keep accounting and tax departments happy worldwide!$

Introducing Graphical. It's a simple, powerful, and fun tool to design visual languages, style components, and work with coding agents to create interfaces that look memorable and feel unique. I hope you'll check it out at

DialKit has a new home: Give the wheel a spin to see some of the amazing and creative ways folks are using it 🎛️

I love how Jony and Flavio predicted the precise, immediate response we're seeing to the Luce. It's almost like they're good designers who know a thing or two about design! Clip from Cleo Abram's interview, a must watch.

Interface Craft is now open. It’s a growing library of resources for those who are committed to crafting experiences and interfaces with uncommon care. I hope you’ll consider joining:

You probably need a bit more rhythm in your life. My quick pro tip for improving your web designs is to choose one major and minor spacing unit for vertical rhythm, and align everything to it by default.* *this is also how you teach agents to design productively

I'm excited to share DialKit 2.0 with you. This release brings several new control types, support for vanilla JS/HTML with no dependencies, and many bug fixes and performance improvements. `npm i dialkit` or learn more at

Somewhere along the way, we lost the art of writing a love letter. I think we should bring it back. Letters of Love is my quick weekend project towards that end. A collection of notes across time that I hope inspires you to write to your beloved today.

DialKit now has visual timeline editing for all your fancy animations. Supports loops, groups, staggers, compound animations, and scrubbing (even with springs). I can't wait to see what ya'll create with it! npm i dialkit

I truly cannot wait to share this with you all.

To achieve excellence, you must build a culture of critique.

Vibe coded this little app for my dad on the flight home yesterday. Let's him easily generate personalized stories for the kids he tutors in reading every week. Fun little ship to sneak in before the new year!

I got some questions on this, so I decided to fully embrace my content creator era with a video reaction.

Polished up Locale some more tonight: - change font size, weight, and italic - view on dark/light/image background - save fonts to a short list (per session) - inspect all styles per family - jump to alphabetical section (hit any letter key)

I can't believe over 30k of you willingly follow me on here. I am both honored and horrified. To celebrate, is 30% off for the next 30 hours. Join members from over 114 countries who are committed to growing and designing with uncommon care.

You need to be going rogue more as a designer.

Pro tip double dip: let’s talk carousels!

Meet InterfaceKit, a design tool for working with agents. Refine components live in your app → click to copy prompt. Your agent gets the element data, Tailwind classes, and Motion animations it needs to make your changes in one shot. No more guess and check.

DialKit is a framework for live tuning any parameter in your app. See changes instantly, test different value sets with presets, then copy a prompt for your agent. Available for free today.

Tonight's refinements: - visualize custom brand colors - upload a logo to preview it next to a wordmark - focus on a single font style full screen - keyboard jumping snaps vs animated scroll Enjoy!

To really dial in animations and transitions, pay close attention to the origin objects animate from. Here's an example I just noticed: Vercel has a lovely little toolbar on a project's analytics page, but bc the icons animate from their center, it feels ever so slightly off.
