I started a new component library designed to simplify creating interfaces with React and terminal aesthetics. In this preview, I’m showcasing it with the Geist Mono variable font.

I started exploring search experiences, starting with the basics: input, history, background workers, and focus area.

I was on a panel advising graduates. We were asked about imposter syndrome, and I said it never leaves. Id like to expand.

Even with success, you will have it.

Instead, have energy to iterate and work with more people. Give the syndrome less weight and not let it hold you back.

Here is an example of a table for displaying simple datasets

The quarter went fast — new studio friends, client projects, a font collaboration, and fun events in Seattle

One of my favorite creatives, Ross, made this for @intdev.

Last night @ana_piligrim shared a new asset mockup she was working on, so I put together a wireframe for a generic report generation tool and used it.

It was satisfying to add checkboxes to the library

Craft is the act; art is knowing when to stop; design is the negotiation.

For another search results exploration, I tried to make it information-dense, in the spirit of older sites. The idea on top of it all is to leverage compute and user context to extract the most interesting paragraph from each result. Then you can click in.

Very thankful for my peers who sent beautiful campus photos for our studio site.

King Henry V was 29 when he defeated ~15,000 French at the battle Agincourt. You’re still early.

Here are some CSS sliders from our new library

I had fun working with hotkeys and ensuring full keyboard navigation support for my new component library

Another lock screen concept with a hypothetical Perplexity agent and terminal aesthetics, tracking activity on a full-width calendar week and automatic documenting for reflection.

Exploration of a lock screen featuring a hypothetical Fey (finance product) agent that intelligently rebalances your portfolio, leveraging the relevant data it has access to.

Expanding on the lock screen concept: In this example, background searches are running seamlessly, so when you return, the best results are waiting for you.

Just your typical warm winter day in Seattle lol

Tomorrow, our studio is hosting a casual meetup for keyboard enthusiasts! I’ve been on the hunt for my next keyboard to design and code with in 2025, so I’m excited to hear your recommendations!

Every day is a day to refine your own capabilities,
Every day is a day to pave the way for others to do the same.

I took a shot to create a company manifesto that honors the medieval past, feels sacred and collectible 100 years from now, and is hard to read—but that’s okay, because the words carry webmaster spirit.

thinking a lot about search inputs, bars, and bands

A legendary moment for us to be able to hear Bryan Newbold speak in our studio space in Seattle.

I still wake up every day with that same 2013 energy, thinking, ‘I get to do this. I get to make websites’.

There is no React component we do not build. There is no CSS strategy that we betray.

Playing around with a sidebar and large search input

I implemented some loaders into the component library

When I moved back to WA in 2021 and encouraged friends to join me, one of the reasons was my belief in Belltowns potential to be a wonderful hub. The waterfront project hit its first design milestone in 2012-2013, around the time I left. Seeing it completed brings me a lot of joy

What should we explore next for the lock screen?

Thanks for letting us cook and make websites for you!

Write the least amount of code, to achieve the greatest maintainable outcome.

Our studio’s Q3 report 🌞

Full keyboard navigation feels great, especially when interacting with avatars.

We had a great time hosting our first keyboard meetup in Seattle! Thank you for letting us do this :-)

I believe the world can still turn towards global peace, harmony, and learning. There is still a lot of good to do, and very little need for mass destruction.

BIG CONGRATS to our studio’s friend Jeff Zhang (of TheoryCraft) and congratulations to their team on the launch of SUPERVIVE.

Excited to bring more webmasters together

I think my new component library is great for an information dense mobile context

Proof that you can go far by supporting your friends and their projects: today, a community I support is number one in the US App Store, built with a tool called Expo that I had the chance to improve the design and work on in 2017.
