Hey people, I just heard @laraisuncool is looking for a new role. 

She's been leading product design teams in MASSIVE companies over the last years (twitter, bumble, tumblr), thought we could work some Posts magic here and spread the word.

Finally got around to switching to Drizzle for my Orm and starting to add bookmarks, any I should add? 👀

Haven’t written a single blogpost in 2023 but people look to read them, maybe I should write some more 🤷‍♂️

We've been working on tools to help designers get more visibility within their team & company on their work. Today we launched our Screen Recorder for MacOS which makes sharing design updates to Current feel more natural and seamless.

One thing I love about building my personal site with Astro is I can experiment with Vue/Svelte/Solid/React and discover what I like and dislike about each framework

May have just bought one of the hats from the gift shop… pretty excited, it looks great @andy

@andy is it possible to add readcv as a subdomain? 👀

Thank you for the warm welcome to Belgrade! Feeling lucky to meet so many cool people through this website ❤️

Big shoutout to our friends @scott and @v for launching current.so today! We took this as an opportunity to do a little behind the scenes interview with Scott about his background and the motivation behind Current 🌱
