Hand-picked since 2012
  • The AI notepad for back-to-back meetings by Granola

    Notes, actions and memory. Without a meeting bot.

  • Morphicons: Morph any SVG icon into any other by Guillermo Lopez Gomez

    Animate Lucide, Tabler, Heroicons or any stroke icon set. Optimal rotation solved in closed form, spring physics, zero dependencies.

  • Designing the first five minutes by Pooja Dhaka, Garima Sikdar

    Users don't form first impressions based on output quality alone. Their experience begins from the moment they open the agent, and it's important that we treat early interactions with just as much care as what comes after.

  • Claude Code 101, for designers by Yaron Schoen

    Agents, tokens, context windows, MCP: the words fly around every AI conversation at work, and they make the whole subject feel more technical than it is.

  • If you build it, they probably won’t come by Andy Budd

    This is the bit I think a lot of founders underestimate. They compare their product with the incumbent and think: ours is clearly better.

Read all week, picked once. The best design links — every Tuesday.

  • A design language is more than a visual theme by Yesenia Perez-Cruz

    Composability creates room to shape. A design language teaches teams what to shape toward.

  • The hierarchy of competence by Hardik Pandya

    Nine stages, in order, and the order isn't decorative. Each stage is only reachable from the one below it, and skipping a rung doesn't produce a shortcut, it produces a specific and recognizable failure.

  • Bottle your judgment and make it outlive you by Dan Maccarone

    The most valuable thing you own has been trapped in one skull your whole career, and AI is the first tool that ever made getting it out worth the effort.

  • Got no time for PRD by Marie-Claire Dean

    A PRD assumes you already know the hill you're planning to climb — exploration is the exact opposite.

  • Don't use a class for that by Alvaro Montoro

    Using attributes instead of classes isn't just cleaner, it's more semantic, more accessible, and more future-proof.
