Beyond that, this surface area presents a very interesting place for interaction experiments
h2a / a2a consumption of these cards will lead to new patterns and actions, and requires fresh design thinking, decoupling from the interface of the web (browser)
Those patterns will be likely driven by velocity and consistency for now (i.e. cards build quickly with tailwind, that mirror the other surfaces that the designers and devs are delivering for web browsers and apps)

Being able to wrap responses into an accompanying ui pattern in the transport, for consumption by an agent interface, presents some very interesting possibilities
(from shopify's "breaking the text wall" article)

with the emergence of early MCP-UI and AG-UI standards, the 2013 perspective of "cards are the future of the web" is set to ring true for a whole new class of distributed, agentic interactions

As I contemplate a long-overdue redesign, it’s worth looking back at what we’ve learned about web typography over the past 20+ years.
A screenshot from the Cursor (cursor.com) changelog, which depicts improvements to MCP tools, enabling users to add images (such as screenshots) as additional context in prompts
Nice 🖼️ addition in @cursor.com.web.brid.gy - you can now add image files as context to MCPs, which will be great for deeper design-related prompting

Learn how to protect your REST APIs with service chaining. This blog walks through using Spin to build a multi-component app combining a JavaScript API and Python frontend. We also cover securing the API by making it private, allowing only internal calls: bit.ly/4kInCqs
may we all endeavor to go ham on the yarns like this ✨
wrote up some thoughts on how our interfaces are getting flatter, and how we might design with 💃 our bodies 🤸 in mind.
