So many fond memories of quartz composer. I remember messaging @drew about some issues I was having, so later that day we met next to the Taqueria in MPK 16. I remember feeling so gracious that this kind of help was available and that I could get a burrito on the way out 🌯

Oh man, this was an amazing tool. I remember trying this out just because I absolutely loved Facebook Paper (R.I.P)

That was such a cool product, loved how it was exploring different UIs on mobile than the standard tab bars and tables

Exactly! It was also the first time I’ve seen an app work so flawlessly and so fluid!

The QC plugin was a special time. 💜

Oh my god I forgot about this! I was 13 and couldn’t figure it out really but thought the interface was so cool!

Quartz almost felt like coding for visual people it was a cool program but not as easy as tools available now.

Oh my! 🥹 I made some prototypes for the early versions of Spotify Car Thing on Origami on QC. Those were the days.
