This Tuesday we hosted our first Design Engineering Night. The highest concentration of design engineers in one room I’ve ever seen. Super motivating to keep going. Huge thanks to @KMkota0, @jesper_vos, @DanHollick and everyone who joined us. August event coming soon. Stay tuned!

London is ahead of the curve for design builders! Excited to be one of the judges at the design focused hackathon Ema’s organizing. Come join!.
Build the next generation of design led companies. This is an open call for creative technologists, design engineers and engineers with good taste to come along for a Design Machines hackathon with @paulienuh, @AVWriting and @_tikhon at @join_ef .

So cool!.
Many of you asked what software I used for that metaballs GIF. It's a custom UI made with @py5coding, a version of Processing for Python 3.9+. It’s incredibly handy for building visual experiments while taking full advantage of the Python ecosystem.

Hope you enjoyed it! If you’re into this kind of experiment, come hang with us at Design Engineering Nights in London on July 15. Details here: Thanks to @steveruizok for inspiring me to share more experimental/work-in-progress stuff on twitter. [9/9].

You can easily recreate it on the web in the same way, but there are multiple limitations with this approach. The main one is that if you want to make the button wider or taller, you’d need to redraw all the shapes. So yesterday I vibe-coded this prototype: [8/9]

Here’s a recording of how this animation works. I used 2 stars and 2 jigsaw-shaped polygons seamlessly stitched together so it looks like one object. [7/9]

And this is how it looked in the ‘final’ prototype. Have an idea how to recreate it in Figma without reading further? :) [6/9]

I thought it would be really cool to make the spinner itself feel like the UI you interact with. So I hacked together this transition in Figma. [5/9]

Sometimes after “thinking,” it would present the user with a UI like a multiple choice question, a visualization or a button. [4/9]

Professor Computer had a small spinner to communicate that the model was thinking. [3/9]

I was working on Professor Computer (an AI for visual learning), which was my personal experiment to explore generative UI. [2/9]
