Sneak peak of the new color picker - P3 or sRGB colors - Uniform color map in a familiar square - oklch It's hard to go back

random thoughts: Big opportunity with current AI is the lack of flywheel of discoveries in chats. Claude and I just discovered a novel-ish approach but it's stuck in there. Claude won't "remember" it the next time someone asks. It will give the same wrong answer it started with in my chat.

One of my goals for this week is to dial in our nested drag and drop. I want to make it effortless and intuitive.

I'm in the "considering a meme generator" stage of my design tool startup journey

Nano-texture display on macbook pro, 24 hour thoughts: - way easier to focus your eyes without a layer of reflection - colors and sharpness are still very good - side-by-side, I would not go back to glossy

Working frame by frame through a new launch animation. Buildings can spawn new units if you don't take them out fast enough ⚔️🐆

Summoners discord is hot today! Folks are recording gameplay videos, discussing mechanics. I am conducting live play tests on zoom and it's going really well too. The game is working and I'm learning so much.

So I've been pretty quiet about Summoners lately. It's because I've been working on a giant progression system. ⚔️ I shipped it to prod last night! 🛡️ If you win a game, you pick card rewards. If you lose, you start over with a fresh deck. Every game has unique combos.
