Working on updating some analytics card patterns so you can talk to it inline and playing around with some new styles today.

#buildinpublic

Designing dashboard card states for property managers. Quickly scan compliance metrics to identify issues.

I had trend arrows on each, but felt they added visual clutter. The +/- already shows direction, so I removed them.

Plus smooooth gradients

Testing a pattern for agentic dashboards. instead of chat, surface optimizations that trigger focused agents.

Property operators don't want to chat about their portfolio. They want 'Phoenix maintenance costs up 15%, want me to fix it?'

Curious what patterns you've been trying?

I have so much basil in my garden that it's now starting to spread outside of the containers like weeds.

New and improved card hover and pickup animations. Added a little wiggle when you pick up a card, smoother transitions, and a bunch of subtle improvements that make it feel more natural.

And... You can try it out yourself now at mkr.cards.

Step 4 looking good

me: "let's make B2B onboarding good"
*6 iterations later*
me: "ok this card shadow is CRITICAL"

anyway here's property setup for Sibi

So I got user accounts and Stripe finally working.
CORS: lol no.

Originally specs were placed on the canvas, but it felt a bit clunky. The sidebar feels better but I'll be continuing to iterate here. I'll probably take this back to Figma and jam on some more layout options.

Also a sneak peek of github mcp so it can have context for feature updates!

Flowcharting usability updates and a new and improved canvas header, and toolbar!

Updated the toolbar by bringing over my component design in figma and used their MCP. It worked right away which was awesome.

Recreated a Braun TP1 record player in Figma (minus the strap and a few details... vector coming soon).
Built open and closed states, dropped in Trompe Le Monde by the Pixies, and wired it up in Lovable with the Spotify SDK.
Flip the switch, it plays.

(warning: kinda loud)

Using AI still feels like guessing commands in old text-based games.

I wrote about how AI interfaces might evolve, from chatboxes to spatial canvases, ambient systems, and adaptive docs.

Give it a read and curious what you are building in this space:
