I love prototyping. It’s the most important thing that sets great software above the merely good. And to that end, here’s a project a couple of us have been hacking away on, and the team is ready to add people in mass to the TestFlight. It’s an open source version of a visual

Google Flow is the closest thing I've seen to a multimodal AI studio for creatives. And it’s available today. It feels like a generative camera and soundstage, where you can ā€œcaptureā€ all the shots that you need — and feel confident you have everything to put it together in

What do you think they will make? Their objective is to make AI near at hand. Faded into the background and accessed intuitively and naturally. I think what they make has to have some optical context gathering aspect. Probably mixed with audio as well. Sam said something in the

Anyone working on a MCP spec for design systems? I feel like we need something that accounts for more than styling like tokens, but also interactions, state, events etc. Ideally we have a spec that aligns to declarative UI with slots for composability. Started on something.
