    Got to play around with this recently and it's super slick. Give it a try! (The website is freakin awesome too!)

    I built a notes app inspired by the 80s, when software felt simple and snappy. It launches in 2.6ms. I've taken notes for 10+ years, first in VS Code, then Obsidian. Sometimes I just want to jot down a thought and get back to work. Here's Noted: 🧵

    👀 @jamesm is one of my favorite visual designers on the planet but now he's transitioned into a full-blown builder with Claude so this week's episode is a behind-the-scenes of how he builds stunning websites👇

    When we can ship substantial improvements in days instead of months, we should ask more around “how great can this be?” rather than “when will this get done?” Stop treating a pursuit of excellence as a threat to speed. Moving fast should raise standards instead of lowering them.

    Today marks 1 year of joining Shopify. The shift from startups to a large public company has been a thrilling learning adventure, but exciting as hell. - Things move slow - Bureaucratic process everywhere - Decisions take forever That's what I was warned it would be like. But here's how it actually is: - Things move as fast as how great something can be - Process is constantly questioned and trimmed - Decisions are simply a DM away Big things are happening and I'm excited about what's to come. This morning I joined @ridd_design for another dive club episode to talk about my experience in all this, and I'm so stoked to share our chat when it comes out in a few weeks. Happy 1 year, Shopify. Thanks for having me around.

    Missed opportunity for the agent bot apps to use the accelerometer to have the cute little eyes move around toward the user as the device tilts.

    Found out why $NKE is down. Even the brand guidelines should say not to do that with the logo.

    Also I’d probably wear on clouds if their logo wasn’t an avatar icon wearing a tiny clown hat.

    This week was one of the best of my career. Shopify is going through quite a moment and this week felt transformative. The excitement in the quality and velocity is palpable. Someone said: "This week has felt like working at the company I've always wished I could work at."

    Oh, and I'm hiring world class designers, design engineers, and product engineers to come along on this ride with me. If you're interested, DM me what you've shipped that you know sets the bar for others ✌🏻

    Today an engineer went to make a change that when his agent started working, stopped to let him know that I already have PR's in place to make the same change he requested. My agent loop had proactively handled it, and his checked for this before starting. I love this timeline.

    Tell your founders the truths that others are afraid to say. It's hard, but you need to protect the environment, culture, and mission you're a part of, especially when the majority has learned to accept "good enough". They can't fix what nobody else is willing to call out.

    Ben and @ustinKnight and team have been sweating the details on this for a while now. So excited to see this get shipped. Big, big fan of these guys.

    When I built @kotn’s first store 12 years ago, I knew how to code and it still took me two weeks just to get to something OK, years to get to something I liked. We built the tool I wish I had back then. Here’s Canvas.

    Operate @operate_gtm
    We believe that software doesn’t close deals. You do. Excited to introduce Operate, the collaborative AI tool built for frontier sales teams. TLDR; Rethought from the ground up, we connect your whole sales stack (CRM, calls, inbox, and more) to surface where every deal stands and what’s next. Sales leaders get a forecast they trust and don’t have to DM their reps on Slack for status updates and data hygiene issues. Sales reps can stay out of the CRM and the tedious toil of admin. We’re working with growing sales teams (3-50 reps) on making AI actually effective for sales including mapping the pipeline, routing to agents/deterministic paths, implementing real workflows, and tracking goal progress. If this resonates, sign up to the waitlist. If you are a good fit, the form will redirect so you can schedule a chat with one of our co-founders.

    Muting “it’s over” and “it’s so over” cleans up the timeline nicely.
