I hadn’t looked at the Material 3 specs in about a year, I just looked at them again. This is like seeing a friend from high school on Facebook and seeing that they fully lost their mind

girl what happened you had so much potential

A new macOS Tahoe feature flying under the radar is you can now search with Spotlight by: Folder + File
❶ Start with /
❷ Type a bit of the folder name, like "Report"
❸ Select from the results, like "Daily Reports" (Return to select first result)
❹ Type some of the file name or contents, like "sales"

I reverse engineered Apple’s thermal logo effect. It’s a Three.js shader that combines 4 inputs:
- A video texture heat map
- A mouse-driven heat map
- An Apple logo mask
- A thermal-style color palette

I find Apple’s next-gen CarPlay UI to be really beautiful. In comparison, every car’s UI is atrocious (maybe except Tesla)…

BUT I genuinely don’t know how Apple can convince automakers to adopt it. It seems so much work to build for something entirely platform specific, purely additive to work they already have to do, and takes away software as a differentiating factor for them.

I really hope they can convince some more brands to do this, but it seems so unlikely.

Email from Vercel: “Our community have told us we’re too expensive, so we’re changing our pricing. Your bill will increase by 17.5%”
This might actually even be better? WDYT?
Working on a new thing and I'm trying to make the Mastodon icon play nice with the others. Which option do you like best?

Wild that Apple seemingly isn’t doing another keynote to talk about Vision Pro. That’s it? They don’t have *anything else* to show? Strangely understated launch.

These reviews on YouTube will get a looooot of views 😅

I made a fiddle leaf tree generator in #Blender3D. It’s not 100% perfect but I’m pretty happy with it! Super fun to try different values and see which results you get.
