The @browsercompany just signed a merger agreement to be acquired. We will remain independent. Our focus is Dia.
I’ve written and rewritten this post more times than I’d like to admit, but what I keep coming back to is simple: the work continues, and we’re grateful for this moment.
The work continues because when I stop by the coffee shop near our office, nobody is using Dia yet. Our “internet computer” vision hasn’t been realized. Dia hasn’t yet changed how you work on a Tuesday morning. This deal is about giving us the resources, distribution, and monetization muscle to get there.
At the same time, it feels disingenuous not to pause and briefly celebrate this milestone. It reflects our team’s craftsmanship and relentlessness, the support of our coaches, board members, and advisors, and the incredible effort from our deal team: Ryan Purcell from Gunderson, Nancy Peretsman and Leah Schwartz from Allen & Co., and Clare, Abby, Eissra, Rebecca, Cory, Nash, and Hursh from The Browser Company.
Most of all, we’re grateful for what this means for Dia. It means we can hire faster, ship faster, and bring Dia to more people. We can now invest in cross-platform support and secure syncing, train custom AI models designed specifically for Dia, and turn ambitious ideas about “computer use” and “memory” into reality.
To everyone who’s filed a bug, sent feedback, or shared a kind word: thank you. We haven’t always gotten it right, but we’ve always cared deeply. That will never change.
Dia isn’t going anywhere. We’ll be here for the long haul, with the same team just a new partner helping us push further. We’ll take a breath this weekend, and then get back to work. Big launch next month.
In the meantime...
The lovely "Just Piano" album by @Fkjmusic was released 4 years ago today.
I've listened to it ~every day since.
"Last Hour" has been my most-listened to track each year since release.
Do yourself a favor & give it a listen!

The one & only @tfeener is now Head of Engineering at @browsercompany 💖
Tara has spent her career building creative tools — from Adobe to Paper by FiftyThree — and we see Dia Skills as a new creative format for software.
Couldn’t imagine a better leader (or human) than Tara!

Vertical tab option is available today in @diabrowser! I've been loving switching between top/side tabs depending on the task. Here are a few technical details I'm most excited about…

Announcement!
I'm open sourcing @anydistanceclub, an Apple Design Award winning fitness tracker app I worked on alongside several others for nearly 5 years.
Blog post here:

Energizing to have people using @diabrowser & sharing in public again!
There's *so* much to do, but I think we're off to a strong start.
Pivoting from Arc to Dia was tough for me. I had my doubts & was/am so proud of what we built Arc to be.
Thankful & excited 🤘🏻

A teardown of @diabrowser’s design from Apple Safari’s former lead designer 👇
I wrote about the design of Dia.
- How did the @browsercompany design team rally around the idea to make a ‘boring’ web browser?
- What purpose does the design serve?
- Where is Dia’s design going next?
