Monday was my last day at MONOKEI after 3 years of work spanning visual design, web dev & some 3D rendering ++. Grateful for the experience, but taking a break before pursuing new opportunities. In the meantime, please email [email protected] if you have any exciting opportunities!

hey @raycast, small thing with the extensions API: when Quick Look is open on a Grid/List item and I arrow to the next item, the preview stays on the one I opened it from. your own File Search follows the selection. any chance extensions could get the same?

Wanted visual feedback for Claude Code without constantly checking the terminal, so I built a @raycast extension with Metal shaders that run when Claude's Stop/Notification hooks fire.

After a great year learning how to be the best dad I can be, I'm now looking for my next role. With experience across fintech, small business, and developer tools, working in both familiar environments and cultures completely new to me. I've served as both an IC and hands-on director leading design and product teams. Building products from scratch, shipping my own code, talking directly with customers, developing teams with conviction, and even managing P&L. I'm looking to apply these skills with a group willing to constantly question their understanding of the problems they're trying to solve and strive for profitability while doing it. Ideally you are a small team building something low and slow, rather than burning out in a blaze of hyper-growth glory. If you know of anyone who might be looking for someone like me, do consider sharing this with them. More about me — jonathontoon.com/

RIP Sketchy. 🥲 (figma.com/draw) I hesitated to release this due to the seemingly lackluster reception coupled with some performance and memory issues (for complex illustrations) that I've yet to find ways to fix. Glad to see that the idea is somewhat validated though.
Could be a niche use case, but would anyone be interested in a @figma plugin that applies a hand-drawn/scribbled look to vector shapes? Made this for another project with the help of Claude—definitely beyond my coding abilities otherwise. Here's a WIP demo featuring @playdate:

I might bring this back as an alternative / complimentary plugin but I doubt it'll be as tightly integrated as a first party solution. Is Figma Draw available for testing yet? Would love to give this a try to understand the similarities and differences between the two.

Forgot to add that you’ll need to be on macOS 14/15 for the test build.
Looking for a couple of folks to test out a macOS screen saver I've been working on (DM please). Made with SwiftUI and Metal using Claude (Sonnet 3.7) and @cursor_ai. Pretty wild that this is all possible even though I have 0 experience with SwiftUI / Metal.

Inspired by @grinkevych's tweet I wanted to see if I could recreate some of these locally. After some research I ended up using ComfyUI + Fluxmania V. The results are surprisingly good although the style and lighting are inconsistent between prompts.
Last year, I made 50+ realistic tea tasting notes icons with Midjourney for a client managing a Japanese tea shop. The whole thing turned out pretty fun, so here is a quick breakdown with close-ups. 1/🧵

Example prompt. Fluxmania V seems to really like detailed descriptions.

Generation speed is nowhere near something like Visual Electric or Midjourney but hey at least it's free and runs locally.

Originally just a screen saver, but once I had the core implementation working, I asked Claude to help create a macOS preview/debugger app too. That way I can quickly preview different styles and export them as .mp4 files (used in previous tweet).

The UI for Sketchy 👀 is coming along nicely. A few more things to polish and bugs to iron out and we should be ready for submission and release.

Two more demos before I jump on improving the UI for release. I've added ✨Dot Grid✨ and ✨Cross Grid✨ effects to mimic screentone patterns often seen in manga. Use them (sparingly) to spruce up your designs or illustrations!

Here's the WIP @figma plugin again (I need a proper name for this lol) featuring isocons.app by @leyeConnect & @meandchimso. I just added the hatching effect and it seems to be working quite well.
