A quick love letter to vibe coding Issue #5: on staying up late just to make things sparkle

Came out of my writing hiatus to share a little love letter to vibe coding, late-night tinkering, and making things just because they’re fun ~ 💝

a rainy evening with @figma.com + cursor ✨

the power of t4t love is unmatched.

Paywalls are killing reading comprehension.

Our brains recognize patterns. After years of of having our curiosity piqued by interesting headlines, and then squashed when we can't access the information, it's not a surprise many have simply stopped trying to read articles.

the perfect man, if you will.

justice for hangyodon! why does nobody playing hello kitty island adventure like him?! he's the best. he tells jokes and serves free lattes even though people dump literal bags of trash around his home.

Figma to Cursor | Figma This tool helps you copy the properties of any group of frame in Figma. You can then go over to cursor and paste the specs to design it directly in code. How to use - https://www.moderndesigner.ai/ar...

You should also explore Figma ➡️ Cursor. There's an easy plugin!

Thanks! Yes, I used Claude to help me generate some base code. I whipped up a very rudimentary design in Figma, sent a screenshot to Claude, explained that I needed some assistance with Framer dependencies, & went from there tweaking it. Once I had the base I mostly tweaked it myself in Framer.

Another design & code experiment from last night.

- Made with @framer.com and @anthropic.com (Claude)
- Using Babe Sans from Tropical Type

This is my Internet Archive Scholar fan art <3

I’ve been playing it for like two weeks I’m obsessed

Currently trying to decide if I want to play Hello Kitty Island Adventure or watch the director’s cut of Robocop.

Feeling frustrated today, at how much the internet has watered down the experience of having ADHD.

@margotatwell.bsky.social any ideas from your publishing world? 👀

A quick, silly little midnight code experiment with cursor after getting home from dinner. Sound on for this, trust me 🍕💕

What news sources do you follow on there?

Yesterday I was in a pairing session and I told my coworker to “open the three dot menu at the top of the database table” and watched them click on 4 three dot menus before landing in the right one.

I’ve been using @notion.com since its inception and, to this day, even dubbed by many as “the notion expert” in my workplaces, database tables remain wildly confusing. It takes so much time to make them work how I want, and explain the weird page structure to people.

Is what you’re trying to achieve not doable with interactive components? I’d love to hear more.

The second is a more basic but vibey image gallery that opens after a little parallax animation ~

Ended up doing some little @figma.com → cursor experiments with these images.

The first one is a fun, chaotic, solitaire-finale-esque hover effect.

IM SORRY
