here's cold email done right by @whizzaf 👏

• intro + hook
• value prop
• call to action
• big IMAGE

i don't think people realize how hard it is to condense so much information in 3 lil sentences.

and the image is the cherry on top, I can instantly ground the product to something tangible.

it's 2025 and my go to gif maker still is ezgif (for the lack of a better alternative)

what am I missing out on? anyone doing something interesting in this space?

Which one do you think will convert better?

Every now and then, I stumble across some old code I completely forgot about. The upside of running @emojisdotcom for well over a year is that I get to revisit these old features with fresh eyes and redesign them from scratch.

Raycast's API can't hold me back. Only 3 padding presets available?

No problem, I will just resize my images on the fly and create unlimited padding variants. 🙃

while y'all keep yapping that LLMs suck at Swift due to Apple's lack of documentation, here's Cursor pulling down WWDC videos, parsing transcripts and code samples, and then reasoning the correct answer

no more excuses, time to build!

@dylanplayer vibe coded a raycast extension for searching our 7M+ ai emojis right from your favorite launcher

should we publish it?

vibe coded a 2d canvas renderer with tiling and player movement

should I keep going?

wired up tools for searching and generating emojis

feels like we're onto something here, it's so much nicer to ideate and brainstorm alongside an llm rather than throwing users on a blank canvas
