At the end of last year I made an app to capture and document very early ideas when I ran out of pages in the free TLDraw that I used at work. It's called Gesso – if it's up your alley, I'd love your feedback: gesso.us/
Gesso
Part notes, part whiteboard — in a smart, fluid, and minimal interface so you can think faster.

Been spending too much time thinking about social networks and why spaces like this one are always short lived. It's such an interesting problem because traction can kill the space if there's not an underlying business model underneath the network.

Just became a supporter because I've realized that this maybe the only social network I enjoy and I'd be real sad if it went away.
As I continue to work on my side project using Cursor, I continue to wonder what “the work” will be in the future. It’s already a lot different than it was.

Editing might be the most overlooked design skill. Sure, many people can come up with a decent solution, but the ones that really impress simplify everything that isn’t essential. Get to the heart of the matter, hide away the complexity.
I think we're entering a golden age of software. I have a lot to say on the topic but it boils down to one main point – in the coming months and years there will be fewer layers between the people with great taste and the final product.
At the end of every year I take the last two weeks off and explore stuff that I couldn't get around to during the regularly scheduled programming. This year, I dug into local first development and built an app that I can't *wait* to use when I get back to work.
Hey Posts – My partner Amy is doing her first print sale. She's giving away the original Mystery Flavor drawing to someone who buys one. Sale ends Tue, April 9th at 10a ET. She'll announce the winner on April 10th. Check it out: amyhparker.com/favorite-flavo…
Finished reading “Beauty” by Sagmeister & Walsh today. It has lovely production value and its heart is in the right place. My only frustration is that many of their arguments are too naive, which undermines their message.

Designing in code is magic. Have an idea. Make a branch. Show it to customers. Get it into the product. That excitement builds momentum. �

I’m looking for my next role. I’ve been a design practitioner for 15+ years, and I deeply deeply love the craft of design, and it’s impact on people. I love design systems, carefully crafted ui and working with great people. Anyone looking for a senior+ product designer?
I'm on Threads as @danperrera to be amongst the normies but Posts remains my current fav. threads.net/@danperrera

I'm considering adding an ergonomic keyboard to my setup. Who's got one they love?

Was introduced as “the most high designer” on a customer call today and I might just go with that as my title from now on 😂
Finally got this beauty back from the framer and hung it as soon as I could. It’s a 32” x 40” color pencil drawing by my partner Amy H. Parker - you can see more of her stuff here on her website: amyhparker.com
Caught in the infinite loop of trying to pick a new font for my personal website.
In the past week I used React, Vue, and Svelte to author code at work. Svelte just feels effortless compared to the others.
I’m just so excited about this app and others, like Arc, that are simple, aesthetically pleasing, and are changing how I go about my work. Feels like a moment!
