Small personal news: a few weeks ago I started a new job at Superhuman, as the head of design for Superhuman Mail.

Had a truly wonderful time at Figma, but have been feeling the itch to try something new. Excited to work on communication tools again (it's my happy place)

@Iconfactory hey friends! Small feature request for Tapestry: I would love a version of the “Collapsed” feed style that supports two lines of preview text instead of just one.

Some tiny thumbnails for image posts would be great too 💕

What’s everyone’s social media approach right now? Which platforms do you lurk vs post vs ignore entirely?

(I’ve been on a long hiatus from everything, and I’m not sure what’s good anymore)
