bulk barn can only exist in canada because the social contract in america is too weak to support a store full of open barrels of dry food
the key to storytelling (and actually design, broadly) is thinking like a teacher. what do people understand already, and how do i ladder what i want them to know on top of that? how do i bring them along, step by step?
Claude Code has been game-changing for @AnthropicAI designers. We don’t just prototype, but we write production-level code. It’s in terminal, which might feel scary. But Claude makes it less so. Tips for getting started as a designer 🧵↓

have been reluctant to write because i feel like i have nothing new to say, and i’m worried about being too thought-leader-y but! i’m weirdly warmed by how resonant my stuff has been. some ideas i’m scratching up 🤔
six way parlay. i want Mistral founders to Apple, Mistral team to Meta. Character remainco to Perplexity. Quora to Perplexity. Ideogram to Figma. Gamma to Notion. read it back
connecting MCPs doesn't need to feel like opening up your computer's guts and threading your apps together with dental floss. 👏👏👏 @jhoer100 who has last-mile design rally like few others
We've published a directory of apps and tools that connect to Claude with one click. Browse and connect Claude to @canva, @figma, @linear, @NotionHQ, @stripe, and more.
finally built myself a little home for all my notes. it lets me write posts in markdown, but also pulls from my s*bstack. nothing impressive!! but i've been putting this off for years and it finally felt easy with my pals Claude and @cursor_ai. jennywen.ca/notes
by default, i only operate in two modes: work robot and couch rot. so, when i quit my last job, i decided to start hobby-maxing. here are some of the things i've made!!
in school & work we're taught to poke holes in things (plans, proposals, ideas). what if we worked in an opposite way, though? and we challenged ourselves to take leaps of faith? to find reasons to believe?
congrats gang 💕

pettiness meter is my favorite artifact for.... reasons...
just shipped something I've had a lot of fun working on - Claude artifacts that can talk to Claude! here are 5 fun AI apps I've built with artifacts: 1. how petty are you? share your beef and get judged by Claude. 👀 claude.ai/public/artifac…
so much good stuff packed into this launch!!! 1. new artifacts tab packed with fun examples 2. you *too* can be an AI developer... and get claude to make AI apps for you 👏👏👏 @leesimin who didn't just design this, but made so many of the artifacts here, too.
Introducing two new ways to create with Claude: A dedicated space for building, hosting, and sharing artifacts, and the ability to embed AI capabilities directly into your creations.
