Reposting some design work from X to Bluesky (sorry if you’ve seen it before!) This is one of our most heavily used components, coming with the new Daybridge iOS design language shipping in V1 - really happy with how it turned out! #design #ux #ui

Can someone get me the 3D print file and the exact filament colours I need? 😁

A bunch of my apps like Bluesky and WhatsApp have reverted to the old iOS keyboard. Am I imagining things?

Stopped using ChatGPT because the tone of voice was so off putting, it sounds like a millennial pretending to be Gen Alpha. “I’ll explain it to you. No bloat, no drama, just vibes” making sand think was a mistake

The new Daybridge sync engine is over 300,000 lines of code across the two repositories we’re working on

This isn’t going to end well is it

Beautiful!

About to find out what happens when your vacuum cleaner company also grows your food 👀

I'm trying to understand why the profiler says a component is re-rendering because 'the parent component rendered' when the parent definitely didn't render? It's wrapped in React.memo and none of the props are changing (or I presume it would say so?) Paging @ricky.fm @danabra.mov 🙏

We moved all of our stuff off of Vercel and when they emailed me to ask why, I told them straight. We won’t do business with red pilled CEOs.

I love living in London, I’ve been here for nearly 10 years. It might be the best city in the world. The far right hate it because it’s living proof that multiculturalism works and that different cultures can coexist and thrive. Trump and DHH hate it because it disproves their narratives.

Some parts of iOS 26 are nice and some parts are driving me 🥜

The Apple event was a great day for the brits. They wheel us out when they want to make the product announcements sound profound.

I mean, our brains do the same thing only with a biological substrate instead of a silicon substrate. LLMs are “probability machines” but their output is based on a real, acquired understanding of the world from a training data set. Different to humans but still arguably thinking.

In the UK we should do anti-honours. And the first person to get an anti-Knighthood should be whoever removed all of the fucking padding from the seats on the trains and replaced them with ironing boards.

Biggest red flag for AI generated text is excessive use of present participles 🚩 "highlighting the importance of", "underscoring the relevance of", "avoiding the risks of", "emphasising the need for" etc

Really like this actually. Currently the selected tab in liquid glass looks atrocious - this would be a better approach.

Had anyone tried the Donkey Kong game on switch yet?

So cool to visit 10 Downing Street!

Along the same lines:

I enjoyed Careless People! Very relevant for everyone in tech.

So nostalgic about this UI

Lmao StackOverflow mods are going through and closing questions I asked 10 years ago. They shall not rest until they have eliminated every question on the platform.

I’ve seen an uptick in people on LinkedIn posting pictures of sick relatives and using things like relatives’ cancer diagnoses for content. It’s kinda nauseating tbh.

It’s a big one today! I’ve spent my 20s figuring everything out, and now I’m looking forward to my 30s! 🎈

Experimenting with Apple's new Icon Composer to see what @daybridge.com's icon could look like in Liquid Glass. #wwdc25 #wwdc

I’m so bored #wwdc

I learned recently that LittleBigPlanet got hacked and the servers are offline :( that game was so good and didn't deserve to die

Brilliant 🤣

I don’t know how I would have got through my recent surgery without LLMs available as a tool, some of the medical concepts were really difficult to understand. They were able to give me confidence I was making the right call.

Fantastic news that UK passport holders will be able to use ePassport gates in Europe again. It always struck me as unfair that EU passport holders could use these in the UK but not the other way around.

At @figma.com Config 2025!

Anyone going to Config this week?

Surgery day today after 8 months of prep 😷 wish me luck!

Does anyone listen to Casefile? They are doing a live show and I want to go!

Honestly I wish I had this level of creativity - I always love seeing the Anti-Proctrastin™ on @tobias.so’s desk

Do you respond to “Alright now fellas?” or “OK now ladies?” in OutKast’s “Hey Ya”? That is the only gender recognition certification that I need to see.

Parting ways with my non-functional kidney in a couple of weeks! Fortunately my other kidney has already grown in size and taken over the work. Send your surgery tips 🤕

Here with my 3D printer if anyone needs their drawers organising! 🍱

I didn’t think it was possible to improve on the BBC news theme but I was wrong 👌 youtube.com/watch?v=JDGi...

Do I buy a switch 2? 🤔

Calendars are so boring and corporate and feel totally unworthy to be actual representations of our daily lives. Our design language for @daybridge.com V1 will change that. This is mobile agenda view.
