Recording your dock cleanly can be a hassle, so i made this little tool of an interactive dock on the web!
Try it here: mockthedock.com

The pen tool hasn't changed since 1987. We're rebuilding it at Opacity.

Turn freehand drawings into interactive mathematical constructions and physical simulations without wrestling with code or tools.
@rubaiat and I are building a prototype that blends sketches, multimodal representations, and AI. For more information, see 1iyiwei.github.io/kinetic-sk….

designers, we need to talk.
design is not about the figma you made.
design is all about how your vision gets implemented & used by users.
your pixel perfect figma is worthless if you can’t realize it in the end product, whether the medium is code or something else.

There are a sophisticated set of enabling technologies, but the feature’s goal was incredibly simple: to capture the vitality of the world around us. The Live Photo patent has a picture of my daughter as a toddler spinning in a dress in front of our house. As with a Live Photo, the more time passes, the more endearing it’s become.
live photos hit this perfect intersection of tech & tenderness. it might be the most quietly brilliant thing apple ever made. it’s a subtle wordless trick that turns stillness into something breathing.
i just stumbled on one & it hit like a gut punch. ridiculous that all photos have a tiny slice of life before the pose, the laugh or blink right before the photo froze… it makes your chest ache hardcore esp for a memory you can never ever have again.

How to be a designer:
- Find an arbitrary rule and follow it religiously.
- Be disappointed in someone else’s work.
- Call their problem “simple” without any knowledge of the constraints they faced.
- Insist that it would never have happened in the Steve Jobs era.
How can @Apple mess up a simple corner radius calculation on the new iPhone Air?
So disappointing.
This never happened in the Jobs and Ive era.

i can’t quite put my finger on it, but there’s something deeply satisfying about the camera poping up from the dynamic island. it just feels so right.
