Reading up on user-experience

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! :)

Question for ChatGPT iPhone users: have you figured out when to use Chat and when to use Work yet? What kind of tasks are you switching to Work for? Have you made Work your default?

@simonw

Just popped a new page on the HEY site with screenshots of the CLI and TUI, plus quick install info: https://www.hey.com/agents/ Also features a link to this wonderful guide by @flaviocopes: https://flaviocopes.com/hey-cli/

I only installed Omarchy for a day, and at least 5 different programs have crashed.

Music streaming is amazing. You can just play any track ever recorded. But I can never remember what I have saved, so I end up listening to the same stuff all the time. Weird paradox. Anyway, I made a cozy listening room so you can flip through & play your @Spotify albums:

@BornsteinMatt

A few updates to scheduled tasks in ChatGPT Work on web and mobile: Plus and Pro users can now set tasks to respond when something changes in Slack, Gmail, and Github, rather than just run on a set schedule. We’re also rolling out scheduled tasks in ChatGPT to Free users, who can create up to three tasks. You can also now share your favorite tasks for others to customize and use.

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

@kylejeong

I'm kind of iffy on "skills discourse" but I think I came up with one so good that its worth sharing. The basic ask is to "describe the UX of my application completely". In doing so, agents will discover inconsistencies, bugs, and design errors that have never come up before

@steveruizok

Holy shit, I can't believe it took this long but I'm so happy it's finally here @1Password

@SoVeryCuul

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

This morning we launched an updated My Bar in Basecamp 5. Now everything's instantly within reach no matter where you are, full-size, full screen. We also added "My Activity" so you can quickly see what you've been up to, easily get back to something you did recently, jump back to a thread you've been involved with, or review your work whenever someone asks "What have you been working on lately?". Super nice, super fast, super efficient. Have at it!

@jasonfried

Today we’re releasing an early preview of the /design command in Claude Code! from CC Desktop or CLI, try something like "/design a few options for {feature}" before you build — pick your fave artboard, edit it and implement.

@nateparrott

It was the right call by @dhh to move Omarchy to use Quickshell, it is a delight to use, very happy I just migrated from waybar to it, so much more polished and pretty. Only took me a few hours to build this.

@samsaffron

Code is mostly solved, but design isn’t. Introducing Tastelint! An agent that runs on every PR and surfaces design feedback. Reply below if you’d like to try it.

A recent addition to our /now page at Linear: Hovering over a video card will play the video starting from the frame visible on the thumbnail so it matches nicely. The Coinbase one is especially satisfying (a very nice video too!).

@emilkowalski

We've gotten a lot of great questions on privacy implications of Computer History. Here's a few things we've done to build a super powerful feature while keeping things private. First off, you can review all of your Computer History in the timeline view:

@AriX

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.

@mitchellh

Adding your computer history seamlessly as context is a tough nut to crack - balancing strong understanding and accuracy of your activities, providing transparency to back that up, all while building trust without feeling creepy. We circled a lot of these ideas at Rewind and Limitless AI. This looks well done, curious to give it a try.

@Stammy

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!

@jasonfried

I recently wanted to record a picture-in-picture video like this and was surprised there's no clear "winner" app in this space, at least not that I could see. There's no simple app that just records the video to your local drive, with some style options.

how to make your site readable by ai agents: 1. add an llms.txt so search tools stop guessing urls 2. check your server logs, not your analytics 3. serve a markdown version of every page 4. support content negotiation headers 5. rethink your JS-only widgets

@zenorocha

Sharing some more UI previews for Superlogical, this time the "tab peek." If you three-finger swipe down, you can "peek" at the other session tabs. These are live-updating, metal-rendered previews including splits. If you keep dragging, you enter a "mission control" style mode. This is one of those UI patterns that once you get used to, you mindlessly find yourself doing it ALL THE TIME. It's a great way to quickly take a look at everything thats going on. You aren't reading the mini text of course, but the shape of it tells you a lot about where things are. The peek pushes the terminal down off screen, it doesn't resize it, so it doesn't force any weird reflow or anything either. There's a lot more to talk about, especially about how this interacts with how we expose what needs attention so you can easily find the terminals/sessions/etc. that require your attention. Of course, you'll be able to drive this with the keyboard too. :) As always, a disclaimer: this is all early work subject to change, just trying to share some of what we're building in public. A lot of the UI experiential design is @almonk so follow him for more updates too!

@mitchellh

brilliant launch, will be giving this a go

@nickvasiles

oh my god the new opencode desktop is absolutely gorgeous

The ATC app is one of the best products I've seen in a while. Lovely UI, novel displays, replays, the matching of visual flight tracking with ATC chatter, following a flight and getting ATC / pilot chatter in a chat-like UI, etc. Super, super well done. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/atc-live-air-traffic-radio/id6755132266

Obsessing about Omarchy's install time was directly downstream from the outrage exhibited here. We don't need to live like this! New computers should be ready to use right away.

I'm using macOS for more than 14 years now, in a single laptop screen setup with lots of windows open, and I'm using macOS spaces everyday to organize my windows. Switching between spaces is easy: I hit CTRL+arrow left/right, it takes no time. What takes time however, is this macOS-native transition animation that takes a bit less than 1 second, for every single space switch. I've checked everywhere in macOS settings, asked friends with the same problem, and there's just no setting to disable this effect (even with Reduced Motion ON in Accessibility settings). This UX choice from Apple alone costs me days of my time every year, as I'm working non-stop on my SaaS business for 10h a day 5-6 days a week (Crisp for those who know about it!). I calculated that with my daily use of macOS spaces, in 6 months I'd perform 100,000 switches, which costs me the same in seconds waiting for the transition to complete. This represents almost 28 hours waiting. In 1 year, I'd have lost 2.4 days just... waiting! The Hack Fortunately, some other open-source projects discovered a hack not so long ago, which allows disabling the transition when switching spaces: it involves sending to the system a "fake" trackpad left/right swipe gesture that's faster than what's expected (faster than what a human can input via the Macbook's trackpad). Above some threshold, macOS just perform the space switch with absolutely no transition. A friend of mine, @yaeeelglx, made a quick prototype in Objective-C, and it magically worked! The Solution So, I asked my friend if we could make it a proper macOS app together, in a beautiful minimalist package, and he said yes! So, we launched Space Rabbit, a tiny 2MB fully native macOS app, that allows you to optimize macOS spaces for productivity! Space Rabbit is a full rewrite of the initial prototype in modern Swift, with a tray menu bar to configure the app, and a settings window, in a macOS app packaging. Space Rabbit can be downloaded right here:

I’ve come to the realization that X might be the least toxic space for a woman in tech. I was recently featured in a @wsj_com article about solo founders, and it was one of the few bits of media I’ve done that has escaped containment: posts on Facebook, high school friends, random relatives, etc. seem to all have been served the article on social and pinged me nice notes & links. And WOW the public comments on gen pop social posts were a very unwelcome reminder on what it’s like to put yourself out there as a female entrepreneur: being called a fraud, reprimanded to put mothering first, called a liar, presuming “tech exec” is code for “low level product owner”, calling me a no-nothing MBA fake (what?), calling me a Bay Area baby born with a silver spoon (what??!), denigrating my technical chops, comments that my only advantage is being hot, or a TikTok influencer, and getting LinkedIn connections from men asking how I stay looking 25 in my 40s 🫠 Anyway I could not be more grateful for this hellsite where you all take me at face value, I can share honest experiences and thoughts, debate in relative good faith, beep boop my AI hacks, laugh, and only occasionally poke the trolls. I never thought I’d say this: but X is the place I get the most respect online as a leader, engineer, and mom. What a world. If only we could get rid of the AI reply guys and fix search, this might be heaven.

@iameliodas

a few months later and i'm starting to see the value in claude design i'm a designer, so i don't expect this to do actual great ui designs for me, at least not yet. that framing change helps a lot i think it's a very helpful tool for the *product* part of product design. put a lot of detail into describing the space/problem/ideas, provide it a .fig with a very constrained set of references (i give it 2-3 example mocks), then have it generate lots of iterations. i treat the designs like wireframes and it's the concepts and framing that is helpful before i go back to figma to design it myself (i've also been using gpt 5.6 pro with it - give it a lot of the content, then show some of the designs and reasoning in text, and do that back and forth a few times) Separately, been seeing the PM on my team use it to help rapidly ideate on a lot of cool prototypes.

@Stammy

Deck icons: a dynamically changing set of icons based on what's running in your multiplexer. You've seen SuperSplit (early iterations) before, but this is also a small showcase of SuperTabs, our custom native tab kit. And yes, vertical tabs already work too.

@mitchellh

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?

i am late to the game but i've finally switched to talking to my claude design with voice and this is the way. feels (more) like working with a human collaborator, where i talk and wave my cursor around the screen pointing at things

@triketora

I talk to my computer and personal OS all the time. Why shouldn't I talk to my fitness/cycling coach. But with a waveform that I think looks pretty rad, lol. Still a few bugs on loading but I'm out of usage until tonight.

@disco_lu

Launching Copper, a Mac app for capturing things you want to keep and prompts you want to try next while working with AI. The more I use AI, the more I find myself collecting little things I don't want to lose. You're in ChatGPT and think, "I'll need this later," but you don't want to stop what you're doing. Then you're in Claude. Cursor. Chrome. Back to ChatGPT. Before long, you've got little things scattered everywhere. An answer you want to keep. A link. An idea. Or three follow-up prompts before the current one has even finished generating. I had this problem, so I built Copper. Copper combines the useful parts of a to-do list, a clipboard, and a scratchpad. It's built specifically for AI-assisted work. It sits next to where you work and is always one shortcut away. It works with all your AI apps, terminals and browsers. Whenever I find something worth keeping, I capture it. If I think of a few prompts while the AI is still responding, I type them into Copper. Then I send them back into ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor and check them off as I go. Copper is local and private. It doesn't sync anything, doesn't collect anything, and doesn't need an account. I've used Copper every day for the past few months. It has completely changed how I work. If this feels like something you'd use, it's $39. One-time purchase.

Animated backgrounds, text effects, buttons, image galleries, and WebGL components. These three libraries cover a lot of what makes a landing page feel alive:

@MengTo

Built this using Higgsfield + Cursor Composer 2.5 + my custom landing-page-design-skill.md file. It reminds me that models don't matter. Skills do.

@elayadesigns

Raycast is my favorite example when people ask me about designing keyboard shortcuts. Most of us try to make shortcuts memorable. T is for theme, so I'm going to make option+t toggle theme. That's fine. But you need to consider user's hand placement. Are they using your app one-handed, or are both hands already on the keyboard (like right after launching Raycast)? Which common actions a user might be need both a pointer and a keyboard to do? Raycast gets this. Really well. The shortcut should meet the hand where it already is.
