Orbit has been featured by Apple ❤️ I’m completely lost for words. I’ve dreamt of a moment like this ever since I fell in love with apps and made my first one back in 2011. I can’t believe it. Thank you.

There’s something shockingly beautiful about the idea of these ‘old’ websites now which I’m a huge fan of AI could never do it

I don't know who this danluu is, but he should build a better site, that at least readable by default on modern computers. This is not 90s anymore.

Phenomenal creativity. Design is the difference.
At this point you already know my signature with tiny details. Sending the app to Apple for review and it should be ready for review this weekend.

Aquela amiga que entendeu certinho que IA é a solução mais barata e porca e que a resposta é apostar na criatividade humana

I’ll be the one to say it—but anyone else notice how they had a vision for something and they didn’t just use AI to put it together? They put in actual physical effort? Just a thought 🫪

AI is a tool. You can use it to think for you. Or you can use it to learn and try things you wouldn't have attempted before. I tell everyone at Figma: we hired you because you can think. We expect you to think. Don't outsource your thinking to AI. Social media is not reality. Things are never as good or bad as they seem. Seeing things as they are and seeking truth are skills to develop. Curiosity must be cultivated. Pulling the level of a slop/slot machine can be weirdly exhausting and depleting. It can be hard and even anxiety inducing to step away when things are moving so fast, but time away from the computer is a must right now.

@zoink how do you keep your independent thinking in this tsunami of tech-bro-ai gloom and doom?
