The Infinity Machine” by Sebastian Mallaby is one of the best books you’ll read this year. If you’re interested in the history of AI, encourage you to pick up a copy. You can read my review of it for Businessline in the link below: www.thehindubusinessline.com/books/review...

I love trip planning and I often spend hours (days ??) researching places, costs, and obsessing over tiny details. Over time, I realized that my friends and family members don’t share this love and need help with planning. So I “vibe-coded” a whimsical travel budget calculator. budgie.travel

Budgie, the travel calculator, placed on top of several receipts of trip budgets that have been generated using Budgie.

One thing I really love about working at @wayground.bsky.social is the product philosophy around the use of AI. They’ve articulated it really well in the rebrand announcement

One trend I’m noticing is AI tools make it easier for designers to really think through & prototype at a very high fidelity for data intensive experiences. I wrote about some examples I noticed in my blog. Would love to hear your thoughts: nchandrasekharr.github.io/vibing

I've been playing around with cursor for a while. I've put together a basic visual to help myself figure out what it's best for, from POV of designer who wants to make prototypes / quick proofs of concepts. Hope this is helpful for you folks also.

I had to take some few dozen bills & enter details in a spreadsheet for reimbursement. I just put it all in Claude & it formatted it for me. I wish an AI-native OS would do this kind of data extraction & formatting natively. For eg I select in file browser hit right click & share what I want done

Weekend project - a truchet tile generator, which creates random arrangements of tiles in colours, which can then be downloaded. I also tried to make a "similarity" slider to see how clusters of similar colours emerge. Built with help of Claude.

As a PR pro, we used to tell people to get ahead of various online controversies by making statements that refute them. It turns out this is the absolute worst way to respond to criticism or correct errors of any kind. Social media has made this worse. When you respond, it kick-starts issues again.

Fun idea, if you are stuck on the high level layout / IA for a page, you can prompt claude / chatgpt to generate options for you in ASCII as a very rapid idea starter. and then you can layer on levels of fidelity. here is one for B2B SaaS and a couple of explorations for a food delivery mobile app

all art is made from spite or horniness, and a computer cannot be spiteful or horny, so a computer should never make art

Yeah I doubt this. I think it replaces prototyping and generation of quick proof of concepts but overall design definitely not..

As a heavy read.cv and posts.cv user im not happy about this. But congrats to the team on a good exit. I noticed a lot of design founded companies like cron, campsite and now read.cv are selling out or shutting down. Even arc browser is sunsetted..

Working on complex topics can be intimidating, especially to get started or to make sense of things. This is why you should rely on hypotheses: it’s a bite-sized, standardized way of breaking down the unknown into something that you can design around.

If you want to make progress with complex design problems, try creating hypotheses

Define all aspects of a design problem to make it easier to solve

Claude by @anthropic.com built a very simple habit tracker for me, that lives in my browser and uses local storage to keep track of entered data. I can also export data. There's a lot of work to be done in order to style it better and improve it visually, but I am very impressed by it

Screenshot of a user interface of a habit tracking app. The right column shows the date, and each column corresponds to a habit the user wants to track

Exercised my right to vote today 💪 Did you know the secret ingredient in voting ink is silver nitrate. It is a colourless compound which becomes visible when exposed to ultraviolet light, including sunlight.
