The interface of a pro camera app is packed with information, constantly changing values that need to be understood at a glance, shifting digits that need to remain precisely aligned for optimal legibility To achieve this, Bayer Cam uses the timeless Input Mono, designed by DJR

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

this goes right along with my theory that the AI obsession in *users* is often bc… 1. they were never educated (esp "ipad generation") & don't know how computers work 2. our tools and services are all SO AWFUL NOW, degraded at best, actively user-hostile at worst

I've been testing a theory: many people who are high on #AI and #LLMs are just new to automation and don't realize you can automate processes with simple programming, if/then conditions, and API calls with zero Al involved.
So far it's been working!
Whenever I've been asked to make an Al flow or find a way to implement Al in our work with a client, I've returned back with an automation flow that uses 0 Al.
Things like "when a new document is added here, add a link to it in this spreadsheet and then create a task in our project management software assigned to X with label Y".
And the people who were frothing at the mouth at how I must change my mind on Al have (so far) all responded with resounding enthusiasm and excitement.
They think it's the same thing. They just don't understand how much automation is possible without any generative tools.

We could offer better automation tools, especially for people who don't work with code the way software developers do: mastodon.social/@mariyadelan...

It turned my stomach to see that team member playfully say things like "Should I delete that post for you since its an ad?" when it was a link to some small individual creator's work. To think that's what we've got shaping strategy at one of the world's most influential platforms is very unsettling

BayerCam.app is a camera app dedicated to raw Bayer capture, which admittedly makes it a quite niche and technical tool But I still wanted it to feel fun, and like something you could make your own, so it ships with a bunch of preset themes - and you can change all the UI colors, too.
