Reading up on design

Genuinely, the feed for https://on.design is the best I've ever seen in my entire scrolling career. I know that sounds like bias, but genuinely it is insane 🔥

@CharlesPattson

Gave https://tellmeingrams.com a little Tailwind love. The previous version was pure Pico.css but I hit the limits of semantic styles. Also implemented affiliate links like ads a la @marclou and @robj3d3

@Shreedhan

I should visit their office at some point, looks superb honestly. I have some of the furnitures displayed here in my own office, and I think they have a great taste! :)

Introducing Omarchy Artists in Residence (AIR). We will not just fund infrastructure and technology, we will also fund art. The next High demands superior aesthetics. Beauty is truth. Congrats to @hancore_linux and @OldJobobo for the first seats! https://omarchy.org/news/2026/08/introducing-omarchy-air/

@dhh

I built a museum for AI interfaces. See how our interactions with AI have evolved at http://interfaces.kylejeong.com

@kylejeong

This is genius E-ink art frame called InkPoster Don't get stuck with one artwork/painting forever, just change it whenever you like Imagine setting up scenes/moods for your house, like calm, relaxed, ambitious, agressive and your art all changes etc.

@levelsio

Usually don´t care much about fonts, but that Berkeley Mono by @usgraphics got me... Looks especially good in Omawrite with @dhh's Diablo theme. https://usgraphics.com/products/berkeley-mono

Building without predicting. (The story of how I built my perfect home.) https://sive.rs/fit

@sivers

Congrats to @Fairphone on the launch today! A good day for repairable, long-lasting consumer electronics products.

@FrameworkPuter

Look at how clunky Chrome looks in Omarchy with its big dumb rounded tabs. Do people theme it to not look so out of place?

@bradgessler

wtf this is crazy https://recent.design

@darylginn

I added a light mode version called Monterey Daylight and also created an auto light/dark mode HEIC version using the excellent Equinox app for the Mac. https://github.com/codejake/Jake-Wallpapers

@codejake

Look how good these themes are. They permeate through the app plus into the terminal. We built out a set of 41 fully original human designer curated themes. We also built a full in browser theme editor. The plan is to open source with a permissive license and package them all up for all the most popular tools (editors, terms, etc.). These aren’t just for our product. “Why?” There’s a lot of beautiful themes out there that are questionable on licensing. This enables us to give out a truly unencumbered set of themes spanning all those styles. Plus, beauty matters. Customization matters.

A form of Conway's law: high quality internal tools lead to high quality external tools. Here's Hector showing our internal dev tool we use to build our deck icon sets, including publishing the icons.

Here's a peek at continual improvement in Basecamp 5. We're redesigning the way the My Bar works at the bottom. Easier to see what you want, getting the stuff that doesn't matter out of the way. More functionality where it belongs, fewer round trips to other places. Plus we're putting your activity front and center so it's super easy to get back to something you did recently. Less digging, less wandering — it's just right there. In some ways a subtle improvement on something that already exists, in other ways a huge leap forward that feels brand new. Exactly the combination we're always aiming for. Coming shortly!

@scottymatt

A great way to learn design: Give Codex a well-designed website, ask it to analyze what makes the design great, then ask it to take a complete screenshot of the website & add annotations on the image that breaks down why the design works Learning from examples is always better than learning from theory! And using the annotation method means you don't have to constantly switch between reading the analysis and viewing the artifact

nice to see http://apple.com inspired by http://loot.photos

@marckohlbrugge

I don't want to call any app out specifically but there's a trend of UIs that are v complex. Tons of features, layers deep, hidden settings in pop ups / modals, left nav filled with icons. Is this bc of AI slop or is it a modern trend? Any examples of "beautiful" UI in 2026?

@yongfook

im not looking at files again! building personal software with @tldraw offline is dope

@marclou

Surround yourself with beautiful things that inspires you to reach for more. Then sweat the little details with the same zest. Not just because it makes for better products, but because it makes for a better you. Be someone who cares. About aesthetics, competence, all of it.

@dhh

Things I learnt after buying a house after 1 year and going through lots of shitty products and things and what I'd do know if I bought or build a house again: - home assistant + their HA Green (little box that's open source to connect all your devices with Home Assistant) - LG or Mitsubishi air conditioning in EVERY room, both cooling/heating, every unit should have its own outdoor unit, or you get annoying things like you can't cool one room and heat the other at same time! I think they're called mono splits - xiaomi air purifier in every room, big spaces get the big purifiers, smaller rooms small ones (most air purifiers are too small for the space they're in!) - a good smart lock, it's so good because you come home and your door auto opens (esp nice if you carry stuff) - matic vacuum (they gave me one so I have to disclose but it's GREAT, all the Roomba and Chinese ones suck) - unifi router with access points, outdoor extenders, cameras, doorbell, all PoE - starlink with local fiber backup - tesla dreamwall or other batteries sufficient to power for days (means like 4-8 batteries @ 13kwh per maybe!), then connect your freezer, fridge, stove, etc to it (heavy loads) so you can keep and cook food when shit goes down - related get a Weber Genesis gas bbq so you can always cook food, fun with friends too - solar panels actually sufficient to power (so like 30-50, crazy number but if you get like 15 it's just not enough?) - pool is honestly overrated, you'll almost never use it, also lots of maintenance (we had a massive water leak with a $10,000 water bill this month, so F that) - but u DO want a standalone jacuzzi, that's nice, with lights! - if you care about safety get steel doors with massive locks for other rooms, and make those safe rooms, so if someone comes in you have multiple layers of security - also get weapons to defend you and your family where legally possible! - garden should be permaculture kinda concept with vegetables, herbs and stuff you can grow to eat, like strawberries, rosemary etc - harvia dry sauna, and if outside, add a little changing room to it so you don't exit in the cold outside! - related, build a home gym, get a big power rack with cables, free barbell, smith barbell, everything built in, and then some dumbbells and kettlebells, and a gym bike like concept2, maybe concept2 rowing machine too, with that you can do almost anything to stay fit! then hire personal trainer to come to your house or you will never go! - ALL lights should be changeable to red at night, via home assistant, so you can make everything red at 10pm for sleep! - also get outdoor lights for fun and security (burglars hate lights) - ALL windows black out blinds on outside, for both security and just NO light during sleep - when you're not sleeping, get lots of sunlight, big floor to ceiling glass windows, it's great! - all doors to outside flat on floor level, no stepover edges (like in PT) - preferrably lots of land around your house so you're not close to any neighbors (neighbors are always annoying even if they're nice!) - fellow water kettle, fellow ode 2 coffee grinder - sofas, other interior, make sure to find natural materials, 99% of interior is polyester/plastic - LG makes the best TVs, end of story, but their software is shit and spies on you, NEVER connect them to the internet/WiFi, instead buy an Apple TV box and connect that, that doesn't spy on you and has no ads, then connect it with HDMI and you're good, also no annoying LG TV updates - re: TVs, people show these formulas of like blalba distance to sofa from tv is N meter so now you need 60", in my experience they always sell you a TV like 10-15" too small, we had 77" LG TV and it was like diving into the screen, beautiful, but then we followed the formula and changed it for 65", not the same! get bigger! - get a VERY big bed, 2m wide by 2m long at least, get natural bed sheets/duvet and seperate duvet from partner, the less you wake up when your partner moves the better - guest rooms are a bad idea, it's annoying to have friends and family IN your house for weeks or a month, good luck trying to have SEX! better get a small house or apt near for them or put them in airbnb!!! - add a delivery box outside ur house so delivery people can put packages inside without having to ring your doorbell 10x per day - get a $500 mini projector and big projection screen outside (or a white wall) so you can have movie nights outside w friends

I'm not an engineer, but I rebuilt Savee — the app a million designers use Friday, 5pm. I asked Claude how much work it would take to rebuild our iOS app fully native. It had been sitting on our someday list for years, waiting for a team we didn't have. I stopped waiting and built it myself — a designer with Claude Code, one feature at a time. Claude wrote the Swift; I answered with the feedback designers give: two points left, lighter tint, that corner radius is wrong. Another round. And another. 33 days from the first prompt to live on the App Store. 1,078 prompts. Three releases in the first week. Something changed for designers. The distance between an idea and shipping used to be a team, a budget, and a year. Now it's a conversation. Savee 3.0 is out. It's the app I always wanted us to have 🚀

@and__dre

Best office setup i've ever had

@DanielleMorrill

many people asked me how i keep shipping when on my phone i have my own ios app and here’s a quick clip of how i use it: - ssh to my mac mini - never open the mobile keyboard - it sucks. instead i designed this touch “dial” - voice input for prompts using on-device transcription model - i can also send images directly from phone do you like this kind of interactions? i actually had to design the “dial” myself. both fable and sol failed to come up with this solution - they kept building different button rows. fable called me clever when i showed it this idea :)

@garrytan

I need a magic lens that extracts colors 🔎

@tldraw

someone at beehiiv probably paid $10,000+ for that launch video polished, agency-grade, beautiful and the top reply thought they shipped a Microsoft integration.. because they named their agent "Copilot" .. all that work, and the launch still failed the only test that matters: 👉 3 seconds, one clear promise for context: I make launch videos with Revid MCP + Fable 5 one prompt -> 5 hook variants -> post the winner less than $100

@tibo_maker

I'm working on some new sections for the Solo homepage and needed new illustrations. Instead of having Sol try to one-shot it, I had it build me a little studio. It can still access the raw SVG, but I also have knobs I can tweak. Now we work iteratively until it looks perfect!

@aarondfrancis

This video by Remotion is literally motion design porn. no skills , mcp , tools , video gen , special prompts one shot fully in code or natural language , this is genuinely crazy

@chddaniel

iOS 27 liquid glass looks so damn clean.

@linuz90

I think you have to do something radically different as a landing page or app to even get anyone to use something these days as AI has made every landing page or app look the exact same
