What if Claude Code had an external display? Introducing Claude Canvas! Especially useful if you're using CC as a personal agent.
I was on Ubuntu's first design team in 2009 London, hired by Mark Shuttleworth to make Linux beautiful. It didn't work, and Omarchy is making me think about why.
How UI development will work in the future (or today with @glideapps).
Made a storybook generator (uponatoken.com), now we create & read 4-5 stories every night. Sends stories to Kindle, and cover art to the frame. Try it!
@glideapps is our love letter to the software developers of the future, and the billions of people who will use the software they build.
Everyone's talking about Agents but few are demoing. Watch me build an AI Agent in 5min that has already helped us make a killer hire at @glideapps.
