Box Expanding [New]

When you drag cards to the edge of a box and release, the box will grow to envelop them in it's bosom-y embrace. Way nicer than first having to resize the box yourself to fit more things into it.

(1 of 2 handy new box features, the next one coming tomorrow)

A rule that’s serving me well: only learn one new technology per project. 

Otherwise, too easy to get lost in unfamiliar territory and not have the steam to ship the thing!

I have a bunch of banger stuff I’ve been working on at Miniware, that looks like it might all be ready around the same time. 

Should I:
➊ just release stuff individually as it’s ready

➋ do a supabase style launch week, even if it means some delays

➌ do like… a launch month?

I just added maybe the best feature ever to the LLM / AI app I’m working on:

The assistant can now send me emails, eg for feature requests, user reports, etc.

Recreated the original MacPaint patterns :-)

Isn’t it cool how some dork ass loser made a site for pirating PDFs and now gets to decide who gets to die in the most efficient and innovative way possible

Project is now live! I’m extremely excited to be launching this project and my first app for iOS. Edit & Modify is a growing collection of resources and lightweight image editing tools. Waitlist for beta testers will be released this Friday.

The curse of humanity is that we can't read minds, but we do need to work together.

ok so the new plan for my personal sites in 2025:
- taurean.work for the website yall have seen me share on here
- voyager.studio for projects (solo + collab)
- taurean.bryant.land for a published version of my obsidian vault.

First time in 10 years I've used a template for my personal site.

Hats off @andy @mehdi!

IDEO was always bullshit.
The bright side of lean times is that there’s less space for design ‘thinkers’ and ‘consultants’ that say a lot and do very little

Being a founder who can design, code and sell is a cheat code

I've been working on a side project called https://www.colorspace.dev/, a tool for visualizing colours and creating palettes. I've found that many similar tools are overly complicated, so I wanted to create something simpler and  enjoyable ✨

@nickisnoble just remembered tarot.sh and still months later, this is one of my favorite projects that I've come across.

Hello friends
Wishing everyone a great sunday 🩷

while discussing the marquee tag with @shen we found an amazing bug on the apple support forum where they don't sanitize html in the discussion title - in this case causing the whole page to <marquee>

I met my wife through D&D, so when we got married in April, we decided to go all out and have a TTRPG themed wedding. 

Me being myself, I built an absolutely over-engineered-ridiculously-juiced-homecooked website for it. 

Today I'm open sourcing it, and here's a bit of a 🧵

Finally tried Framer... and I hate it.

➊ seems like all shortcuts do exact opposite of Figma.
➋ Override logic makes no sense
➌ Hidden controls everywhere
➍ really, really, really, repetitive workflow
➎ Person who designed responsive was not the person who designed components...

@nickisnoble has been working on https://tarot.sh

This is the BN Mishmash typeface. Quirky letterforms and unexpected twists 🌀

I like the irregularities in this! Btw, it's free 👀

Maybe we need to bring back some of that 2000s “design a physical device that would be super impractical to manufacture and just make it out of software” energy

DO NOT download Balatro. 

It’s the best mobile game I think I’ve ever played. 

You will lose so much time 😭

@taurean let’s build something cool together this year!

@taurean did you do nights & weekends? Might do the next batch

On the off chance that you’re:

1. Also on Bluesky
2. Really into coffee

Happy holidays, here are some drop-down menus that remind me of a different time

It’s been 4 days since I created this meme,  and I still love it, haha! I don’t know why.

Who here runs "unlimited" style design / dev / other services? How's it been for you? Any gotchas?

This whole “adopt or get left behind” mantra is exhausting and a fear tactic at best for desperate corporations to simply stay in power.

So, today is Friday and i show you my cat Syri
