most new tools: turn design into prompts, hide the canvas, abstract the visual away. @framer: here's more canvas. do whatever you want. websites, experiments, weird interactive things, all of it. one is trying to remove design. the other is betting on it. One of the best tools
Three @framer components using its Data() API. They’re self contained code components sharing a single state to sync SoundCloud playback, live ticker data, and a fully interactive record player. Sound on 🔊 The video shows various states from staggered first time track use

Studying great brands probably makes you a worse designer. Sounds backwards, but admiration breeds imitation, and imitation leads to invisibility. The whole point is to stand out, and if you want to do that, don't study brands, study paintings, movies, music, theater,

Decisions is the key word here, most of the design process isn’t in the final decisions themselves but the exploration to get there
If you're a designer then you should be racing to get as close to the product as possible so that you can experience your design decisions as you make them and have the agency to iterate on those decisions yourself. Even the best design tools won't get you there.

We keep pushing designers into tools built for developers. Not every workflow fits a text editor, and most designers aren’t spinning up backends just to preview pages, that’s absurd. Designers deserve tools that match how they actually work.

Asking designers to code while they design is like asking an architect to lay bricks while sketching. You'll get a building, but it probably won't be the Guggenheim. Designing in code is incredible for the last mile, but the first mile needs the most distance from what's

Whenever a new design to code tool comes around, people get excited. It’s considered the holy grail of design. You can now design with code. This is the final evolution. But I don’t agree. It’s only the holy grail if you value output higher than the process of design. Whenever

Wow, apparently you can also vibecode inside of @framer using their workshop tool: I just made a brickbreaker game entirely inside of framer: https://t.co/5G6UDykc2n

Becoming a better graphic designer will make you a better product designer, but the inverse is not true

3. Finally, copy this masking component into @framer design pages: https://t.co/0B2U4OBPoI , upload the base image as the foreground and the xray version as the background, hit publish and you are done!
framer.com
The component supports a foreground image + a color overlay, a background image, and a PNG or SVG shape mask that follows the mouse revealing the background image.

2. Then use @NanoBanana to generate the x-ray variation of your original image in the same aspect ratio.

1. Start by picking your base image, it can be anything. In this case I generated a 16x9 image of a red duffel bag in @midjourney

a few people asked me how I made this framer site, so here's how you can do this in 3 easy steps:
cool x-ray effect made without a ton of complexity, just a @framer component and some @nanobabana images try it here: https://t.co/76Xm8t4OIX

Came back to @TrySpiral after a while. The UI/UX overhaul alone impressed me... but Monologue is the real shift. Switch between voice and typing. Create styles that match your taste and thought process. No more choosing between brainstorming and drafting. Tested it on a finance

Introducing Images on Canvas in MagicPath. Now you can drag images into any project, use them for inspiration, or as visual references when creating new components. Turn images into code, or mix multiple images together to create and explore new styles.
