I made my first proper plugin today. Codegen + Figma variants + a coffee. Wins.

TIL — `text-balance` on h1 + h2 makes 80% of marketing pages instantly less awful. Cost of adoption: 12 characters.

Hot take: the most underrated React skill is reading other people's code without immediately suggesting to refactor it.

Spent an hour reading Rust's docs on iterators and realised half my JS for-loops are essentially fold operations in disguise.

If em-dashes could speak.

app icons I designed recently

A long-distance cyclist's life lesson: the bonk comes when you stop eating, not when you stop pedalling.

Spent the morning re-drawing one icon at four sizes. The 16-px version always teaches you what the 24-px was hiding.

@github if it was vibe coded

Love the layout structure of the primary hero copy. Spending less time on novelty, more on rhythm. The negative space here does most of the work.

Drafted three onboarding flows today. Each one removed something. The one that ships will be the simplest.

AI successfully replaced developers. 👍🏻 Have a great weekend!

Code on lndev/ui : https://ui.lndev.me/components/subscriptions-calendar

Releasing v2 of Blockus on Monday. Faster build, fewer dependencies, better docs. The bar is — does the README fit on one screen?

Introducing blockus ! Beautiful shadcn blocks for devs who ship. Available on the free tier — give feedback if you try them.

A Claude app template designed with a shadcn look. Open-source. Will share routes tomorrow.

Working on Tribune — a refined Threads-style client for thoughtful conversation. Multi-column layout, 42 colour themes, light & dark. Built on Next 16 + shadcn.

Open-source dashboard layout built with shadcn — heavy on density, light on color.

Marketing tip: stop announcing. Start showing.

The serif is a kind of architecture. The sans is a kind of weather.

A small personal rule: before complaining about an app, I check whether it's my ritual that's broken — not the interface.

A small ritual I keep: every Friday morning I close my laptop, open a notebook, write down what I shipped that week — and what I postponed. The list is rarely flattering. It is always useful.

Quiet rooms make better teams.

New plotter run — three colours, 12 minutes, a lot of regret.
