Whipped up a few icons to celebrate @avec 's official launch.
These folks are cooking -- I've been using the app for a few months and it's a joy every time. @Mailbox for the modern era

probably the biggest misconception today is that everything will be chat
chat is bad for discovery, chat is bad for repeating usecases, bad for multiplayer
people love GUI. people love being passive. people love to scroll and tap-tap-tap vs. type. voice only works when you're by yourself. the list goes on.
build a Mac, not MS-DOS!
Quality over quantity; I tend to agree
I’m so committed to the vacation in the same place every year model. It’s such a treat. Ya the world is big but you’re missing out if you don’t know what it’s like to care about a place, feel at home there, and long to get back there each year. Kids especially thrive with this kind of routine and habit. When I was growing up my family went on the same vacation 15 years in a row, in Wyoming. The summer before I left for college, my brother and I worked there for 10 weeks. It’s expensive but we still go when we can as an extended family. And now that my siblings and I have little kids, we’ve picked a new destination, closer to home, that we return to each year.
That place can stay the same even if you’re normal life changes through a move, job change, or whatever else. Given how transient and fast moving modern life is, and how tenuous our connection is to physical space, experiencing that almost mystical connection to a place that only comes through happy memories accreting and long time spent, is worth not seeing a new corner of the country or world each year

peak design concept
not putting the maximize button on the corner, even though it fits the window metaphor better (the minimize can disappear when maximized!)
c stick yellow on the Y button instead of grey (completes the palette perfectly)
Feeling so seen rn
Your custom macOS icons should survive app updates.
Icon Keeper makes that happen. It also lets you discover icon libraries from creators and share your Dock. Available now on the @glazeapp store!

How much you play is my favorite measure of success in this industry. You stop looking up to tech execs (who look miserable) or hyper-growth founders (stressed) and start looking up to independent creative minds who shape a space that allows them to play.
Safari is a major downgrade IMO — a significant loss of depth.
Finder’s curved nose returning makes me happy.
I love the crisper borders for readability at small sizes, but feel that the major subduing of specular highlights means they’re basically invisible at icon size.
Nice improvements

it's about anticipating the exact moments where a user may face anxiety or uncertainty while viewing a screen or attempting to perform an action, and designing your product to preemptively solve that uncertainty and stop that anxiety in the first place
also it's gotta look dope
Was waiting for this. Kudos @Google
Today, we’re open-sourcing the draft specification for DESIGN.md, so it can be used across any tool or platform. We’re also adding new capabilities.
DESIGN.md lets you easily export and import your design rules from project to project. Instead of guessing intent, agents know exactly what a color is for and can even validate their choices against WCAG accessibility rules.
Watch David East break down this shared visual language in action👇. New capabilities and links in 🧵

You might say Claude design competes with the prototyping tab of @figma, but that ignores huge swaths of features on both sides.
