a bar at the top that lets you navigate to your list of scrapps, rename your scrapp, and share your creation more easily. (note to self: next time you launch something, make sure there's a prominent share button from the start)

A few examples of scrappy little apps (we call them "scrapps"): - math practice for a elementary school kid - attendee counter to make sure you don't go over capacity at a venue - clock showing how much money a meeting is costing, ticking up every second All of these were made in < 30 mins.

No need to think about persistence or syncing — that all works by default. Like a google doc or minecraft server, each app is like a shared little world.

The tool is an infinite canvas of dynamic objects. You attach small pieces of code to the objects to make them do stuff. This lets you build scrappy lil apps. Here's me making a simple counter.

i like how the ui in Zed shows me each action the agent is taking and lets me review the changes

the log that the agent produces. it shows code snippets when editing code. "List directory contents" or "Read document-list.css" when performing reading actions.

an hour later of incremental changes i have this (i took those screenshots and wrote the descriptions, everything else is claude off of my prompts)

vibecoding with @zed.dev's claude-based agent. first prompt gave me this -- fully working, but not great design-wise

A User Interface with a list of templates and a list of documents

Weatherspark is great for a bird's eye view of temperature. For everyday weather planning, I love the design and information density of Weather Strip. Shows temperature, cloud coverage, rain chance, rain amount, daytime/nighttime, wind velocity -- for both the next 24hrs and the next 10 days.

The UI of Weather Strip.

A graph showing detailed weather for the next 24h: temperature, cloud coverage, rain chance, rain amount, daytime/nighttime, wind speed and direction.

Under that a smaller, less detailed graph showing most of that data for the next 10 days.

Nice post! 🙏 I appreciate the number of examples. Here's a pairing that I think speaks for itself.

A diagram of the Double Diamond design process. Discover, Define. Develop, Deliver.

The design squiggle. A line drawn by pen. A complete mess in the beginning, and then a perfectly straight line toward the end.

@jessegrosjean.bsky.social's Bike is still the gold standard. Such a simple solution. I wish we had this on the OS level. (h/t @jaakster.bsky.social)

Is the nightmare finally over???

Today, @notion.com's inline code blocks seemed to behave a bit different than they usually do. Did they do it? Did they make it clear whether the cursor is inside or outside the block?!

Should work in all major browsers!

When cooking, I have to return to the recipe often, and somehow I never remember my place and have to scan through the recipe to find it. In part 2 in my series Redesigning the Recipe I discover a better way to write step-by-step cooking instructions. pontus.granstrom.me/blog/recipes...
