Finally binged JJK S3 🙂‍↔️

I was today years old when I realised the bridge before Interchange on the way to Abeokuta is called “Kara bridge”. Always wondered how it could possibly be “Kwara bridge” 🤦🏾‍♂️

Wagwan guys, So, I built something last week and called it Vectuno (Image to SVG converter). It can work 100% offline, and you can download it as a PWA (web app). The backend's built for up to 100M requests a month. It's free right now: vectuno.pages.dev/

Hi @jiholimm , I sent a DM🧙🏿‍♂️ Sent you something about @mobbin MCP and a mentorship I’m running. Would love to get you involved 🫡

Really locked in last weekend to finish building this thing. Now to make a befitting launch video 💆‍♂️

This is in tandem with an idea I really resonate with. It becomes clearer when we consider design from the lens of science rather than only art. A design is essentially an experiment, that’s then exposed to real-world conditions to see how well your hypothesis holds.

Tried OpenCode in my terminal and it’s a much better experience than the app.

Hi HR, I’d like to request an iPhone Duo for product design and testing purposes. With Apple’s introduction of its new foldable form factor, I believe having the device internally is important for us to prototype and dogfood our trading applications on the platform from day one. In particular, I’d like to use it alongside TestFlight to rapidly test new experiences, identify interaction and layout issues, and understand how our products behave across the new form factor. For a product like ours, this kind of hands-on testing is valuable beyond simply ensuring that the app “works.” It allows Design, Product, and Engineering to understand the device’s constraints and opportunities firsthand and build experiences that feel native to the platform. I see this as part of how we maintain our product quality and stay ahead of the competition: we should be able to experience our products as our customers do, across the devices and form factors they are likely to adopt. The goal is to make our applications fit hand in glove across devices, rather than treating new platforms as an afterthought. Happy to provide any additional context or justification needed for the request. Best, Leye

There is an insane amount of work to be done.
