Been working on this for the past few weeks and it’s finally out! Our next focus will be true large screen support and improving Twine’s animations across the board.
Twine 3.0 is finally out, shipping tons of new features like improved feed & podcast support, a new Discovery section and an improved user interface. @edpratti and I can’t wait to hear what you think!

Google can now faithfully recreate the unmistakable 1000:1 Unreal Engine contrast ratio.
This is Genie 4, our most realistic and interactive world model yet. 🌐 Explore dynamic environments in real time to see how the scene responds, sounds, and how the people in it move, react, and speak.

My 2 cents
The visual balance of Android's home screen menu feels so off. The icons are heavier than their labels and aren't even optically aligned. Any designer would immediately flag this, so I'm surprised it shipped. You'd rarely see this from Apple.

I’m choosing to believe Rockstar is only releasing GTA 6 on November 19th to steal the spotlight from my birthday. Is this how indie developers feel

Corbin has been THE most inspirational engineer I've seen in the past 10 years I've been doing design. I've worked with him for most of those years and I couldn't say enough good things about him. Incredible person (and engineer!)
I am looking for my next career opportunity! I'm Corbin Crutchley; an engineering leader, consultant, author, and open-source maintainer. Previously as a VP of Eng, I've sped up engineering efforts for companies. My teams rework large-scale systems while building new features at the same time. You may also know of my OSS projects (@tan_stack & others) or my books (@playful_program). Roles I'm looking for: - CTO / VP of Engineering for small/medium companies - Staff+ Engineering roles, esp developer tooling - Consulting gigs Likewise, if your project is particularly challenging and / or complex, let's talk. Know of a good role for me? Book some time on my website or reach out in direct messages: corbincrutchley.com

I don't think I've ever had as much issue with a piece of software than Figma Draw's "variable stroke width" feature. It's so incredibly, frustratingly fragile. A path is too curvy? Broken. A path has one too many vector points? Broken. A path has too few? Broken again!

Who says you can't have fun and improve A11Y at the same time? We're working on themes! This means that soon it will be easier to tweak your reading experience on Playful Programming regardless of your color preference or vision requirements. High contrast 🤝 Fun colors

I do not understand the vision behind Material Expressive and I fear there’s not enough people at Google that do either.
Celebrating small wins is hardwired into "Achieve," our goal-tracking sample app. We wanted the simple act of checking off a task to feel like a celebration. Instead of the standard #Material ripple, we used Styles to drop in a custom, high-contrast completion animation—specifically, a brand-colored ring that expands and fades on tap, paired with a subtle pressed-state gradient. It lets us focus entirely on polishing those custom, rewarding micro-interactions while Material handles the foundation. #GoogleDesign #MaterialDesign #JetpackCompose #AndroidDev #UXDesign #InteractionDesign

I found my people. Punctuation inside quotation marks is absurd.
a while back I made the decision to put added punctuation outside quotation marks whenever I could get away with it they’re quotation marks! the thing inside should be a quote!!
