I love prototyping. It’s the most important thing that sets great software above the merely good. And to that end, here’s a project a couple of us have been hacking away on, and the team is ready to add people in mass to the TestFlight. It’s an open source version of a visual programming environment, similar to Origami or Quartz Composer. In addition to being able to build anything those two can, it also supports AR, CoreML, and native 3D support. As well as being built in SwiftUI, so it runs on basically any Apple device and is easy to hack on and improve.

we are hiring for a small number of high impact roles across research, engineering, and strategic ops at @tacitlabsco! come do the best work of your life with the best people you'll ever work with. we work together, in person, out of a beautiful office in Dogpatch. the culture here is high ownership and high-urgency. we keep the team intentionally small, meaning that each new person we bring on is n-of-1, with enormous scope and lots of room to run. we like people to be highly opinionated, technical, and a little bit weird. you'll work closely with our partners at the frontier labs, giving you ample exposure to research at the bleeding edge. send us an email with a couple lines about you, what you've worked on, and why you want to join - queuing up our first wave of interviews for next week!

I joined @reve because I believed in the vision, and now I'm so proud to share that we have the #2 image model in the world, beating Nano Banana, and with a fraction of the GPUs our competitors use. We're a lean and mean, and we're just getting started.
Today, we’re launching Reve 2.0, the best 4K image model in the world. We invented a new way to generate and edit any image using precise layouts. For the first time, it’s possible to create images you can touch.

SwiftUI → Nodes ← SwiftUI Stitch just added a **very** cool idea. Programmatic translation between SwiftUI and nodes. This allows an LLM to do what they’re good at and write code, while programmatically extending their capabilities into something they’re not good at.

In general I see a lot of opportunity in approaches like this. Let AI do what it’s good at, then programmatically translate into something it doesn’t know how to do. It extends an LLM far beyond it’s current capacity.

Reach out to Elliot (@ellbosch), Chris (@pianostring4tet), and Nick (@nickarner) if you want to know more, they built it and are three insanely smart engineers.

New chapter: I’ve joined as Founding Product Designer at @visualelectric. I’m extremely excited to be back in the startup world, working with amazing design-oriented founders, a force of a team, world-class investors, and incredible new tech with unchartered possibilities. Huge shout out to @adammenges, @colindunn, @liamtlacey, @soleio, and the whole team at VE for ushering me in. For a long time I’ve been obsessing over design (of course), but also AI, emerging startups, and what comes next in this era of change. What comes next for creatives and designers? We’re exploring the edge of what AI can unlock, inventing new patterns, workflows, and interfaces as we go. Grateful to the Seed team at Google, that was a hard goodbye. They’ve got some open roles, including my old one. Best team in the game, DM me for links to apply. More soon. For now: excited, grateful, and ready to build.
