Cole Bemis

Today is my first day at @notion.com! I’m joining as a design engineer to explore AI workflows. Excited to share more soon

Me every morning to Claude Code

Learning the @notion.com codebase by shipping quick wins ⚡ Shipped today: You can now paste image files directly to set custom page icons. Before, you could only paste image *URLs* What quick win should I tackle next? (screenshots pls)

I gave a lightning talk about why state machines should be part of your design process ...and gave a demo of an experimental Figma plugin I built that allows you to use state machines to power your designs Here's the recording: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRKZ...

Replaced my old Gatsby site with a single index.html file ✨ colebemis.com

🚀 We shipped a few updates last week: 1. The Tags page has new view and sort options. 2. The command menu now includes contextual note actions if viewing a note page. 3. Clicking "New note" while viewing a list filtered by tag will prefill your new note with that tag. Thanks to Zakher Masri! ❤️

📣 This just in... The *open source* and official GitHub MCP Server is here 🤩 github.blog/changelog/20...

What am I working on? Wrong answers only...

I made an app icon for Word Rumble to try out OpenAI's new image model, and I'm impressed with the results! I tried the same prompt with DALL-E a couple of months ago, and the results weren't nearly this good

New stickers just arrived 📦

More state machine experiments inside of @figma.com ✨

I drew up how GitHub Copilot works in case you want a quick 'n' cheeky explanation!

Just added a cheatsheet to Lumen so you can quickly reference keyboard shortcuts and markdown syntax. Look for it at the bottom of the sidebar 👀

Just ordered some special edition @uselumen.com stickers that match Lumen's local dev favicon 🚧 Thinking I'll give them to folks who have contributed to Lumen in some way (e.g., sent feedback, submitted a PR, brainstormed with me, etc.)

I'm really happy with how these share dialogs turned out 😄

You can now publish notes with Lumen. Happy sharing! app.uselumen.com/share/e35193...

If you’ve used GitHub Copilot chat on GitHub.com/copilot recently, you may have noticed some new life breathed into the Copilot chat avatar with interactive 3D character animations. Let's do a deep dive 🧵on how we hacked it together for the front end 🤓’s out there…

@uselumen.com now has an e-ink mode! Here's Lumen running as a PWA on my BOOX Palma:

Tell me you're an icon designer without telling me you're an icon designer

📝 I wrote a little thought piece on "tailor-made vs. off-the-rack design systems." Curious if this resonates article.app/colebemis/ta...

Word Rumble: Holiday Edition 🎄☃️

Does anyone know who designed the ChatGPT/Sora icons? They're all lovely ❤️

My girlfriend and I made a little two-player word game. It’s called Word Rumble ✨ Have fun: wordrumble.fun

Opening weekend at Palisades! ❄️

Interning at GitHub was one of the best decisions I've made in my career. Highly recommend applying! 💖
