99% of cold emails I receive nowadays are 3 paragraphs of non-sense that immediately make it to my spam list.

if you're one of these people, you should be ashamed of yourself

here's cold email done right by @whizzaf 👏

• intro + hook
• value prop
• call to action
• big IMAGE

i don't think people realize how hard it is to condense so much information in 3 lil sentences.

and the image is the cherry on top, I can instantly ground the product to something tangible.

it's 2025 and my go to gif maker still is ezgif (for the lack of a better alternative)

what am I missing out on? anyone doing something interesting in this space?

Which one do you think will convert better?

Every now and then, I stumble across some old code I completely forgot about. The upside of running @emojisdotcom for well over a year is that I get to revisit these old features with fresh eyes and redesign them from scratch.

If anyone has some good inspo of a high converting AI app with free usage, I would love to learn! Until then, we're back to insta paywalls.

Genuinely want to support free users to some extent, but the amount of tire kickers and bad support tickets we get is beyond unreasonable.

Grid | Raycast API

for reference, here's the API I'm having to deal with

Raycast's API can't hold me back. Only 3 padding presets available?

No problem, I will just resize my images on the fly and create unlimited padding variants. 🙃

while y'all keep yapping that LLMs suck at Swift due to Apple's lack of documentation, here's Cursor pulling down WWDC videos, parsing transcripts and code samples, and then reasoning the correct answer

no more excuses, time to build!

@dylanplayer vibe coded a raycast extension for searching our 7M+ ai emojis right from your favorite launcher

should we publish it?

feels like every day a new image style is discovered, blows up, and then it becomes impossible to find again.

The code could not be anymore simple. Just wrapped the presentation code with <AnimatePresence/> and passed along a layoutId.

all of our image resizing is powered by self hosted army of @imgproxy_net workers. If you want best bang for your buck at the compromise of dealing with servers, it's 100% worth the trade-off.
