Personally, been making a low fidelity exalidraw-like calendar app: https://letswalnut.com.

There’s a real-time collaborative workspace-oriented version, too.

Professionally, working on “Magic Draft,” a feature in Ditto to help designers and writers create the “draft and a half” directly in Figma, which uses a hierarchy of all your context (text, Ditto metadata, the design, your style guides, etc) to write really good starting point copy.


There’s a similar post that I can’t find that relates to ornamentation and detail in infrastructure as simple as a pole on a sidewalk – an ornate and designed pole replaced with a simple round post. Perhaps someone else remembers the source.


I want to give a go at learning to make chocolate.


Some highlights from this year include:

- The Saint of Bright Doors by Vajra Chandrasekera

- Shroud by Adrian Tchaikovsky

- Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver

- The Devils by Joe Abercrombie

- A Frog In The Fall (And Later On) by Linnea Sterte (A graphic novel)

Overall I'm at 65 books on the year—I maintain a reading list[1] on my personal site that has the rest.

i love Linnea Sterte books, stages of rot is also excellent


Also, here's an example of a collaborative public calendar from the "workspace" version! Anyone can pop in and make changes and see what others are doing.

Ditto | Product Designer | Remote (US/Canada) | $140-200K + early team member equity

Ditto helps teams manage their copy from design to production with a single source of truth. Over 3,600 teams (from Fortune 500 companies to startups!) currently use Ditto.

We're hiring our second product designer to help to define and design our core product, from strategy to execution. As the second designer on our team, you’ll have an outsized impact on defining not only what Ditto is and how it works, but what we do next.

Ditto is a design-driven company. Our design function has high ownership around identifying and shaping problem spaces, exploring solutions, and helping to drive implementation. We don’t have a product function—instead, both design and engineering own the product lens. We think this is critical for Ditto’s product, which used by design and engineering teams in their day-by-day workflows.

- One Yellow Eye by Leigh Radford - Shroud by Adrian Tchaikovsky - The Saint of Bright Doors by Vajra Chandrasekera

I keep a reading list at quinnkeast.com/reading. Would love to see others’ if any has one to share!

What’re you seeing? Seems to be working from my end.

> In 2022, I sent out some then-new Midjourney generations with the caption: If this doesn’t revolutionize design, I don’t know what will.

That’s not design, that’s an image.
