After testing various AI design tools over the past year—including Figma's latest AI features—Google's Stitch finally blew me away. It generated a clean, modern dashboard from just one initial prompt and five follow-ups. The results are genuinely impressive. 🎨✨

My Mac was running out of space and I discovered this little command. It finds all folders that are larger than 2G and only displays folders that you can access.
I found a bunch of old Android SDKs, iOS simulators and a few other large files / folders that could be deleted.

Well...it works but maybe having a light and dark mode favicon is against best practices? Or I'm doing it wrong but I could only figure how to set one in the app.json for Expo to export the favicon.ico for web (to be used with EAS hosting). #reactnative

Wishing I was still hacking from a bayou somewhere in Louisiana instead of an indoor standing desk. Those days last week were fun.

It's that native feel! But...
Restoring scroll is not free or a native feature (at least not afaik on Android). Personally it works for me on Bluesky fwiw.
Icons are generally a design choice and same across mobile/web. Seems almost impossible to match the OS theme icons in an app.

That there aren't follow/unfollow buttons on the users of a list like there are on starter packs. Perhaps a feature or as intended. But I thought they were there before I pinned it - fussy memory though.

Only my second Waymo ride but I can see myself not owning and driving a car ever again...well except for some manual transmission Porsches.

I finally got around to trying out a fresh @expo.dev 52 project with swmansion's Radon IDE. What a delight to see it break right there in the IDE. 🚀✨🚀 Next need to use the preview feature - reminds me of Compose Preview on Android.
