Learning the @notion.com codebase by shipping quick wins ⚡ Shipped today: You can now paste image files directly to set custom page icons. Before, you could only paste image *URLs* What quick win should I tackle next? (screenshots pls)
Today is my first day at @notion.com! I’m joining as a design engineer to explore AI workflows. Excited to share more soon
Personal update: After six incredible years at GitHub, July 1st was my last day 🥲 Thank you to everyone who made my time at GitHub special ❤️ Excited to share what’s next!
I gave a lightning talk about why state machines should be part of your design process ...and gave a demo of an experimental Figma plugin I built that allows you to use state machines to power your designs Here's the recording: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRKZ...

I made an app icon for Word Rumble to try out OpenAI's new image model, and I'm impressed with the results! I tried the same prompt with DALL-E a couple of months ago, and the results weren't nearly this good

I drew up how GitHub Copilot works in case you want a quick 'n' cheeky explanation!
Just added a cheatsheet to Lumen so you can quickly reference keyboard shortcuts and markdown syntax. Look for it at the bottom of the sidebar 👀
Just ordered some special edition @uselumen.com stickers that match Lumen's local dev favicon 🚧 Thinking I'll give them to folks who have contributed to Lumen in some way (e.g., sent feedback, submitted a PR, brainstormed with me, etc.)

You can now publish notes with Lumen. Happy sharing! app.uselumen.com/share/e35193...
