Today I did a livestream for about 300 Basecamp customers who were curious to see how we used Basecamp. One of the reasons I love running these are for the edge case requests and questions I get. They push me into obscure corners of the product to see if something's possible. Another reason is because I get directly gauge group enthusiasm around surprisingly small things that make a big difference. It's very hard to pick up on this otherwise when you're working with customers one-on-one. One of those things is the desktop app. Whenever I show that I'm using the dedicated desktop app rather than Chrome or Safari or whatever, people are blown away. In my mind they shouldn't be — Bascamp's had an app for a long time, it's not a big deal. But not enough people know about it. And what's the bit they like the most about the desktop app? It does everything the browser does, but it does one thing less: It doesn't mix Basecamp up with all your other browser tabs. That's what gets the big time ooohs and ahhhs. A simple thing, but a big deal. No more hunting among 65 other tabs for the 3 Basecamp tabs you want to keep open. The desktop app has its own tabs, but they're only Basecamp tabs. No mixing. I never would have known that was such a big deal to that many people had I not be in a group setting showing off the product. Live group demos are really priceless.

I'm open-sourcing my Agent Skills library. 75 skills for Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and other agents, focused on web design, landing pages, motion, WebGL, UI styles, and assets. A few favorites: - Video to Super Prompt Turns a screen recording of a design, landing page, or animation into a super detailed prompt that Fable 5 can one-shot into HTML. - HTML to Interaction Prompts Takes an existing HTML page, like something built in Aura, and extracts prompts for sections, buttons, animations, WebGL effects, and interactions. - Stitched Full Page Capture Captures the entire landing page, not just the hero, so you can use the full page as a design reference. - Daily UI Inspiration Combines multiple skills into an agent loop that browses the web, captures great landing pages, and turns them into detailed prompt packs. It's free. Fork them and adapt for your own workflow.
