I'm going to build a flexible and customizable tab bar for Maitsu's iPhone app using UITabBar in a SwiftUI wrapper.

I printed the parts to make a Spacemouse so I can have an easier time learning 3d modeling. This week, I want to put together all the electronics to get it working.

Screenshotting everything you do and feeding it into an AI model could be a recipe for disaster

Windows Recall sounds like a privacy nightmare – here's why I'm worried

[…] TikTok […] LinkedIn and Twitter […] algorithmically de-boost anything with a URL in it, encouraging users to share screenshots (often unsourced) rather than linking to content and reducing their distribution.

The billion dollar race for truly smart glasses

if you remember my tiny little monitor, i’ve been modeling a little stand for it

Building things is fun but I have a funny feeling that this project is about to go over my head incredibly quickly

Fighting with design leaders intent on licking the man's generated boot instead of protecting the designers they are supposed to be leading is exhausting.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, but I'm not even sure the intentions here are good.

I had to fork/update a repo to make this work, but I got my top weekly albums from last.fm working on my site rebuild.

Unfortunately I'm unhappy with how low-res the images are so I'm thinking of cross-referencing the iTunes Search API which will be a huge pain in the ass 🙂

normally i enjoy writing backend code but the past week or so has been brutal (this is the second of probably many PRs)

building an app is a speedrun: you have to build and launch your app in a year or apple will forcefully reset your progress at wwdc

doing the streaming thing again tonight. come hang out and lets make some stuff → https://twitch.tv/jedmund

If you design for a living—especially if you’re earlier in your career—you should not be happy about any of these AI features in Figma

Sometimes the answer really is "We can't ship this" and people need to hear it, even if its harsh feedback.

Here is the cover for the forthcoming Random House edition of my book, "Things Become Other Things: A Walking Memoir."

Pub date is May 6, 2025, which, sure, feels like a billion years away. YOU CAN PRE-ORDER NOW. Thanks!

New presentation slides almost done, just have to wade into smart animation hell for a bit

Event Horizon artisan sets are available for another couple of days, wanted to show off the special custom packaging they’ll come in.

Started my next Maitsu project which for the first? time, isn't actually Maitsu related. The hard part is going to be not stressing out over the app long enough to actually make progress lol

https://maitsu.co/jedmund/wire-up-the-spacemouse/1

Been a long time since I posted here. I've been teaching myself SwiftUI and Metal and it's been really fun. Will share some example going forward.

I’ve only been here for a couple hours, but there are too many people in the UK coughing up a lung, not wearing a mask.

Please.

Stay home if you’re sick.

i think we all need a several year break from capitalism

Akira Toriyama's death was reported yesterday. He not only shaped, but defined my childhood along with tens, if not hundreds of millions of other children around the world with his work and I definitely wouldn't be the person I am today without Dragon Ball. Thank you.

A new Shiina Ringo album came out today which means today is immediately and irrefutably the best day of the entire year.

gonna struggle working on maitsu in public for a bit, good music and vibes here → https://twitch.tv/jedmund

never work on something in which time is an important factor. save yourself the headache. seriously, just trash the idea and do something else.

Weird question that I feel like people here might know the answer to: 

Does anyone know of an icon set that has simple drawings of a lot of emoji? Not twemoji—I'm ideally looking for monotone versions. FontAwesome doesn't have enough. Paid is fine.

This seems like an absolute nightmare

Some “social” platforms block links to maximize profit. This practice promotes the spread of stolen content, but you can fight it. https://wenzels.blog/notes/2024-05-12%20link%20in%20bio/

It is abundantly cool to see people really giving Maitsu a shot:

i'm currently that guy on a plane in vision pro and holy shit, i am a true believer now. i do not feel like i'm on a plane

If you regularly work on art, hobbies, or side projects and want to stay accountable, I'm letting some more people in to https://maitsu.co

Hit sign up and use the invite code "posts". Good for 5 uses!

I'll add the people that sign up to TestFlight for the iOS app too!

After some consideration, I've begun to offer professional design coaching to help creative individuals navigate our complex industry, handle ambiguity, and make a real impact. You can see more @ jonathontoon.com. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Finally getting to build this. Not exactly how I thought it would manifest (since I'm not good enough at this yet), but I'm okay with this too!

Started filling out read.cv project fields for funsies and wow I sure did build a lot of shit at Pinterest lol

If you want something even lighter (and easy to customize), I created this a while ago: https://github.com/javierarce/music-snitch

I accidentally started drawing an icon set for this freelance client and …they’re sort of fire? I never draw icons unless I absolutely have to and do not care about them but these actually all kinda work really well

Hello~ I'm currently looking for an illustrator to add the final touch to a landing page I'm making, so if you're interested in working with a team of students from Korea, please get in touch :) You get a blank canvas to work on, and we'll clearly credit your work on the site:

I really wish you could inspect the absolute distance in Figma Slides, even if only in Design Mode. 

Seems like you can do element-to-element but not element-to- edge, which does not satisfy my compulsion to know things are centered/know how far I'm placing things from edges.

heh heh heh progressing as planned

what should i do with https://dankmemes.lol?

This is my last week at Slack after 2.5 years (and 5 total at Salesforce) 🫡
Nothing lined up, excited to take a short break while I find something new.

Yamaha SEQTRAK came in the mail while I was in NYC and I honestly think I want to return it. TE has rotted my brain @noahconk
