boo.ai - Beautifully simple writing app with a built-in AI copywriter | Product Hunt:

✨ Introducing Boo! → https://boo.ai

Boo’s a minimalist, AI-based text editor for copywriting, note-taking, brainstorming, and all-around AI tinkering.

Think of it as Superhuman for AI, or Copilot for copywriting.

It loads fast, drops you right into the editor, and stays out of your way. Everything’s accessible via keyboard shortcut, and the UI fades away while you write.

We’re live on Product Hunt today, so any feedback/votes/shares would be hugely appreciated! 💜

Abduzeedo interviews Levente Szabo (Brisk), who created this amazing series of movie poster illustrations for BAFTA 2016. Suppose I’ve been really swooning for the double-exposure look lately.

“Technology is embedded into everything now, no industry left untouched—there’s money to be made, new empires to be created!—and that process is long, slow, repetitive. Laying the groundwork and infrastructure to move a lot faster later. The thing is, though, this thinking is so small. Painfully small. A slice of a market segment of another slice of another slice and so on. It’s all perfectly reasonable, but it’s not enough.”

Hoefler & Co. has released Operator, their first take on a monospace font, and it looks fantastic. It’s full of character, especially with its playful, but still readable, set of italics. I’ll probably set this up over the weekend in Terminal and Sublime Text.

Fantastic double exposure work by Brandon Kidwell. I really fell in love with this technique when it was used in the opening for the first season of True Detective — I may have to give it a try at some point. (via Abduzeedo).

NYC Gifathon by James Curran

In November I spent a month in New York City where I animated a new GIF every day for 30 days inspired by something that happened during my stay.

The GIFs alone are great, but the composition and sound design for this video make this really fantastic.

The First Person to Hack the iPhone Built a Self-Driving Car. In His Garage. 17 Dec 2015 1:26 PM (9 years ago)

The First Person to Hack the iPhone Built a Self-Driving Car. In His Garage.:

The car does, more or less, have it. It stays true around the first bend. Near the end of the second, the Acura suddenly veers near an SUV to the right; I think of my soon-to-be-fatherless children; the car corrects itself. Amazed, I ask Hotz what it felt like the first time he got the car to work.

“Dude,” he says, “the first time it worked was this morning.”

A personal look at falling behind on Buckets and where I plan to go from here. Should explain why things have been a bit quiet around these parts.

Think with Paper & Pencil

FiftyThree is a product company that gets it. I can’t think of another company right now that is so well tuned-in to their product management: An undeniable focus on simplicity, consistently innovative interaction concepts, high-quality releases, synchronized marketing—it’s all incredibly impressive. Definitely looking forward to trying these new features out.

Inbox is an awesome new email client from the Gmail team. I’ve had the pleasure of test-driving this for a few months, and I have to say: It’s an incredibly well-polished app with a very smart set of features.

It combines everything I like about Gmail, Mail.app, and Mailbox app, removes the features I don’t use, and absolutely shines as an example of Material Design.

I also love the fact that Google’s not just positioning it as “The Next Gmail,” but rather as an all new product—and it looks like it will be supporting a variety of other email services as well.

Really tremendous work and a huge congrats to all my colleagues that took part in shipping this.

Really diggin’ this whole Material Design thing. I give it about a year or two until this level of animation polish becomes the standard for modern web apps as well.

Input: Fonts for Code 5 Aug 2014 10:24 AM (10 years ago)

Input: Fonts for Code:

Input is a flexible system of fonts designed specifically for code by David Jonathan Ross. It offers both monospaced and proportional fonts, all with a large range of widths, weights, and styles for richer code formatting.

Impressive. As far as I know, it’s the first programming font that’s built to serve a mixture of serif and sans-serif as style differentiators within code.

Allison House directed and animated this music video for “Summer Noon,” a new single from one of my favorite musicians, Jeff Tweedy (of Wilco). She describes the process and the challenges she faced in tackling new medium on her blog:

Beginners often hear fake it ‘til you make it, but scrappiness and transparency count for a heck of a lot. My mantra was whatever it takes.

An incredible, mind-boggling performance art piece using projection mapping from GMUNK:

Box explores the synthesis of real and digital space through projection-mapping onto moving surfaces. The short film documents a live performance, captured entirely in camera.

Going Google 25 Jun 2014 11:13 AM (10 years ago)

I’m incredibly proud to announce that my primary client over the past year, Appurify, is joining Google. Appurify is a brilliant cloud platform for testing/optimizing iOS and Android apps, and designing/developing the interface over the past year has been a joy. I couldn’t imagine a better outcome for the team.

As a part of the transition, I’m happy to say Google asked that I join the team full time—and, after some consideration—I said yes. I started yesterday and am very excited see what the future holds.
