Absurd Trolley Problems

You've been summoned to the tarot terminal.

I’ve made some progress with Folks 👀

Feel free to hmu on Monday if you need help getting your readcv-site running on vercel – happy to walk you through it.

(vercel is likely the right choice because it's freeish and they designed nextjs, which is what runs these sites)

Heartbreak aside for a moment - and given the speed at which Posts will be gone -, is anyone else wanting a replacement? I’m keen to keep the spirit of Posts alive and up for building something. If you’re interested, register your interest here: https://tally.so/r/3EvVP4 🧑‍💻❤️

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. 

Completely opaque to the user.

Pro tip:

We still have a little time left with readcv

Go update your portfolios BEFORE you export your site!!

I updated the Bluesky guide to include instructions on changing your username/getting your DID! https://taurean.bryant.land/A+Post+Alumni+guide+to+bluesky#%3D%3Dupdate%3D%3D+Set+your+username+to+name.posts.cv

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.

Hey all, I wanted to share a very bittersweet update here before we shared it anywhere else. First, the hard part — we’ve made the difficult decision to wind down Read.cv and Posts starting this month.

What’s the most important part of a design community?

What did dribbble, Designer News, Good News, and posts.cv all have in common during their respective heydays?

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.

Another quick reminder as people trickle in, there's a dedicated feed on Bluesky for posts users. We're at over 100 people now. Find out how to join (and more) here: https://taurean.bryant.land/posters-guide-to-bsky

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

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.

I can't repost anymore but I want to share this from @nadia.

Hello friends
Wishing everyone a great sunday 🩷

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

Hey @taurean had a cool idea to let you use your [username].posts.cv as your Bluesky handle so that it's easier to find each other there. We just added a setting on Posts web under account settings.

Here's me https://bsky.app/profile/andy.posts.cv

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!

On the off chance that you’re:

1. Also on Bluesky
2. Really into coffee

I made a custom feed for coffee stuff: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:tft77e5qkblxtneeib4lp3zk/feed/aaaceoilhu4a2

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?

@selene @jsiggy @janeyswork (and anyone else who wants to get on the games thread)

Welcome to the games thread 🎮

To all the people using this as a growth hacking opportunity:

Good luck with that.

A while back when Allan G's Good News shutdown, i rebuilt it as an exercise, just managed to get it running again 😄

Here’s a speed up fly through:

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

Alright, one more yall. Please vote for what times work for you and feel free to select a bunch. I'll close the poll and announce the meeting date on Friday along with a new agenda.
