✏️ I wrote a little post about how we designed and shipped blended diffs in @pierredotco. If you haven't seen them yet, def give it a read—we're working to reimagine how we build products and a better diff experience is just a small (and rad!) step.

What even is Pierre? Another banger from @fat …with a little guest appearance from my face to boot.
ALRIGHT. WHAT IS PIERRE [dot] CO??!??!. One of our users in discord asked me to make a video they could share with their colleagues……… turns out im still either the best or worst at video.

Time for something different with @pierredotco. We're out of alpha and have a cute by psycho landing page to tell you why we're building Pierre.
WOW. okay. You can now just SIGNUP for Pierre [dot] co. No waitlist, just a button. To commemorate this, we built a new website, new brand, have new funding, and changed our legal name to Pierre Computer Company, Inc. More details below (here’s a video of the website).

Finally got around to migrating my personal site from Jekyll to @astrodotbuild last week. Still a few things to finish up, and a blog post to write about the move, but loving Astro so far.

Anyone else experiencing new auto layout issues in Figma (not in UI3)? Ex: select 2 frames, group them, Shift+A them, most of the auto layouts within get borked.

I almost forgot just how good it can feel to build an amazingly talented team—and then @mrncst joined us and the hype came flooding back in. 🎉.
In the middle of all Config craziness, this was also my first week at @pierredotco 💜. I’m joining @fat @mdo @jcrosby @SlexAxton and Ian in a journey to create a new way for people to build software together, and I couldn't be more excited!

Surely the more times I click to join the waitlist, the faster I'll get in the beta, right?

The only way to include a count of something in UIs today is with a badge. "2 Unread" looks weird, but shouldn't?. "Unread (2)" looks great, but makes me anxious. What have we done.

Honestly, doing this makes me want to rewrite my personal blog on @nextjs or @astrodotbuild. Still rocking Jekyll and it's fiiiiiine. but it also somehow feels like the equivalent of FTPing site changes in 2024.

📝 I wrote up a little post on how we rebuilt the @pierredotco Docs site to render dozens of nested MDX pages using @nextjs. This was all new to me and it was tons of fun to struggle a bit and ask for help along the way.

Product Designer friends—we're just starting to talk about it, but we're looking to expand our team @pierredotco this summer with another designer who codes! You'll work with us to reimagine how product engineering teams collaborate. DM if you're intrigued! More details soon.

Writing docs—and the code that powers them!—is always a fun project. After being heads down for a couple weeks, we've shipped all new docs for @pierredotco. MDX galore and some fun design elements. Read all about it and check 'em out at

Magic Branches on @pierredotco have been truly a wonderful experience. Peep this big boy post from @fat for a little behind the scenes. (And stay tuned because I'm stupid excited for what comes next!).
Last month we shipped this thing I'm obsessed with that we've been calling "Magic Branches"… basically entirely generative, collaborative surfaces that we spin up for ALL changes at push time. (Think @arcinternet's mobile pinch summaries… but on `git push` for any change you

Help me out, Next.js fam. Does anyone have an example of rendering MDX where single pages and pages in n-levels of sub directories can be easily rendered? Have a growing set of pages and folders to work with.
