Why I build an agentic canvas playground for our team:
1. Less friction + time than trying to explore all the paid solutions
2. Built for our stack from the ground up
3. It is *really* easy to build on Cloudflare (which we already use)
4. What we want, we add
Examples: (1/4)
But most things, we've started collaborating just via comments. Comments capture a screenshot of the canvas so context isn't lost.
Our agents can see the same comments and screenshots that we can, and you can one-click send to your local agent to share that context.

Didn’t expect to build this over the weekend and start the week with all this discourse around this very thing.
Working in layers is antiquated anyways, so @eminimnim is correct here imo.

This is missing the forest for the trees.
Performance matters, but performance to what end?
Your end user doesn’t care that your design tool is faster with 4k elements. (Also, is this really that common?)
You know what they care about? The end product. The one that’s DOM-based.
Literally so many problems in design come from the fact that designers work in one medium and have to hand off their designs to be built in another.
DOM-based design tools puts you in the same medium as your real app.
btw at @Dessn_ai, we take this even further and run your actual app on the canvas (yes, you can click around like you would on prod), so you’re literally designing on the exact thing your end user sees.

I built an agentic figma-style playground for our team over the weekend. v1 took just a few hours.
go from prototype -> in-product in record time. design in code, collab on canvas. built for our design system, agent-agnostic.
We can use this for slides/presentations, internal tooling, and more than just prototypes. Soon we will be able to design w/ our staging accounts hooked up too!
I was able to build out:
- realtime commenting in-context of the frame
- having a canvas to see all your work
- external sharing
- previewing our live app UI
in maybe 1 full work day total, all thanks to @Cloudflare (workers, R2, durable objects, access)

Sergei and team just launched the Highlight beta. It's been incredibly effective at pulling my context from everywhere I work and drafting what I need, without the hassle of prompting and guiding. Try it: go.highlightai.com/openbeta
Today, we’re kicking off the Highlight beta. Try it here: go.highlightai.com/highlight…
I want a future where AI helps make your work uniquely yours, and not feel cookie cutter. That’s what we’re building Highlight for.
Highlight is your working world, all in one place. It connects your apps, meetings, and screen, creating a single command center where you can find answers, see what needs your attention, and start every task with the first draft already done.

Many AI products are built for people already fluent in AI. On-ramps for everyone else are practically non-existent.
We’re building Highlight applying lessons from Discord: Capabilities for the advanced user, and on-ramps for everyone else. Not enough AI apps think about the latter.
Highlight’s beta opens to everyone today, which is a strange thing to type about a product that started half by accident 😆
3 years ago I was still working on Medal, and the rise of GPT 3.5 made us ask; what would it be like it AI had the same context you do? So we gave AI audio & screen capture to see what we could do with it. Before I knew it, we were raising a round.

Since then, it’s gone through many evolutions, but I’m excited about where we landed. Today, Highlight is your working world, all in one place.

opening the agents window in @cursor_ai while you have chats running from the IDE will immediately interrupt everything and cause the two windows to fight each other for control of already running IDE chats. like ... what

Incredibly excited for this. Dragonwilds is an awesome game, and the world of RS has so much going for it. Rooting for this one!

You can finally generate slop UI directly in slack!
"Think of this as on-demand UI that can make Slack anything you want it to be."
Introducing Slackforce Surfaces. Just ask Slackbot and it creates an interactive interface for the entire team — all powered with Salesforce data and Slack context. #DF26
