💡 Pro tip: Option-clicking the Toggle Resize Constraints button will enable/disable constraints on all the nested groups in the selection. A quick way to make a complex element become constraints-aware, and in most cases Auto constraints already do the heavy lifting without further customization.

AI hype needs the cult of "fast" to work. "We don’t want fast because fast is actually better or cheaper. We want fast because someone convinced us that fast feels more secure... feels stronger; feels productive. Fast makes the line go up and lines going up is a good thing." -- @frank.computer

On genAI: Was prototyping really a bottleneck?

I keep hearing folks claim that the fact we can ‘prototype’ so quickly now is a good thing (thanks to modern genAI). But what if the slow parts about prototyping are actually what makes it worth doing...

It’s tempting to think of Baseline as creating a hard line. If a feature isn’t Baseline, then it’s not ready for use. However, we all know that web development is a world of “it depends”.

A little gem for my typography lover friends: a tool to visually explore glyphs from different typefaces designed by David Jonathan Ross glyphs.djr.com/

This goes waaay back to the first Moqups version in 2012: with more than one object selected, the inputs in the Dimensions panel (X/Y/width/height) referred to the selection as a whole, which made it easy to move and resize everything to precise values, all at once. The alternative approach…

bill buxton wrote an entire book to address the problem that on a computer, less polished looks more polished, and so stakeholders will assume that what you're showing them is much farther along than it actually is so you have to spend effort making it look sketchy www.amazon.com/dp/0123740371

But that's not how people who are unfamiliar with critique think. They see high detail and think high fidelity. Then they think, "what comes next after high fidelity? Oh, it's production." "Therefore we must ship this vibe-coded prototype." AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

We’ve been experimenting with importing Figma designs into Moqups with our dedicated plugin. Copy objects, paste them into Moqups, and you’re done!

The clipped 3D versions all work now. 🎉 They’re still a bit slow, but seeing the gamut boundaries properly in 3D already feels pretty satisfying. Check it out: meodai.github.io/color-palett...

Vibe coding broke people's brains because they had a bad understanding of the software design process. The pop culture model goes something like this: start out with a sketch and then render that same idea in progressively finer detail. So when tools could "skip" to high detail, people went WOW.
