It's easier to work on own dumb ideas than on others' dumb ideas.

Felix built a 3D room for his website in 24 hours, riding a bike “look ma, no hands” style while coding on his phone. Im not Felix, and this is not an Anthropic PR stunt, but I built a small “Ask about me” feature for my website. aleksandartasevski.com

Building Design Buddy

Building Design Buddy

I started Design Buddy out of curiosity. I wanted to see what AI could do, and I assumed other designers would be interested. That's not who ended up using it.

Instead of teleoperation, we train solely on data from our Skill Capture Glove. The glove is co-designed with Memo's hand, meaning they share the exact same geometry and sensor suite. If you can do it wearing the glove, Memo can learn it.

Figma tip: for tables with Auto Layout, design by columns not rows. Makes resizing easier.

when aligning icons with text, you can set the height to 1lh it equals the element's line-height, so icons align perfectly

Building the same thing across platforms: - Figma: plugin - Canva: app - Adobe: add-on - Word: add-in - Chrome: extension I'm convinced they had a meeting just to make sure they all picked different words.
