This is huge! I remember seeing an early demo from @zoink back in 2014 and thought how the hell did they put Illustrator in a browser AND make it feel faster. Congrats on pushing design driven companies to a whole new level.
Big congratulations to @zoink & the @figmadesign team. In 2013, Dylan & I walked around downtown Palo Alto, and talked about WebGL and the possibility of putting image editing in the cloud. Good people. Great product. So much more to do. 🎉🔥🚀.

Getting a lot of Notion and Coda vibes from the table view of Issues. I remember trying to manage sprints 7 years ago in GitHub at my first startup. This has come a long way. Look forward to testing this out.
A new GitHub Issues is coming this Fall, with better ways to plan, track, and manage projects. Sign up for the beta now.

Ok the HBOMax email integration test is probably a mistake, but it’s very interesting to see how many people are talking about it on Twitter (and even more surprising to see who are paying customers!).

Love the granularity of different design leadership roles @SamAtmoreMedia.

At first I didn’t think the Google app icon refreshes were that bad from a usability perspective… I was wrong. It does take an extra second to process and verify which app I’m looking at from a glance on my iPad 😪

Not sure if it’s just me, but the new #Medium app feels like a major UX regression. Took me a few minutes to realize I couldn’t adjust the font size like before. The scrolling avatar bar neat but adds a lot of visual noise. Missing the minimal feel of the previous versions.

Interesting pattern seeing @coda_hq being used as a @Medium alternative. Neat growth strategy though.
Inspired by @luclevesque's "Blueprint for Leaders & Managers," I'm sharing my own guide to the principles/values informing my work life. How do I budget time on projects? What do I look for in collaborators? Read the manual! Or is that "Reid: The Manual"?.
