I built a fun little Chrome extension that lets plants invade your abandoned tabs the longer you leave them unread. To access them again, you have to slash through the vines 🪚🌿

Hi, it's Darshita. I am a designer. And I'm pitching myself in public 'cause I'm done with a year full of anxiety. Everyone says design is dead and AI killed it. But the real parasite was hiding in plain sight. So here's my film, DESIGN IS DEAD. She's bold, fearless and very PINK 💖 Hiring? My DMs are open.

As much as it's nice to see people experiment more now that AI makes it easier, it's kinda sad that I don't see much knowledge sharing. No walkthrough of their process, implementation, etc. It's all just "look at this cool video of what I built" and that's it... 😞

Day 4 of whale swimming: lots of fin slapping throughout the day! So cool to be able to see what's going on both above and under water!

i don't think tech people understand how little non-tech people care about tech the average person does not have a basic understanding of how a computer works the idea of everyone just prompting their own software is only for a small subset of people

Day 3 of whale swimming, I didn't think it could get even better! Not only did we find a mother and calf again but there were 2 more whales with them! It was unbelievable!

At the end of the day, we got a much closer encounter with a couple of whales but the other group got an even better experience so I'm really excited for the next few days!

Day 1 of whale swimming: I learned that I'm not immune to seasickness 🤢🛥️ It was quite miserable but it's ok cause I saw whales!! 😍 The ones we saw mostly stayed at the bottom so it wasn't always easy to spot them but we got a singer and I could feel the vibrations through my body, it was so cool!!

I'll never understand how some people can pride themselves in being completely oblivious to the issues others may face in a community or even worse, to not give a shit at all just because it would mean they'd have to improve their own behavior a little bit.

Giving a talk in a very busy expo hall is its own kind of challenge 😬 Really struggled to get my thoughts straight, background noise is super disrupting but I tried 💜
