Learning the @notion.com codebase by shipping quick wins ⚡

Shipped today: You can now paste image files directly to set custom page icons. Before, you could only paste image *URLs*

What quick win should I tackle next? (screenshots pls)

Thank you to everyone who made my time at GitHub special ❤️

Excited to share what’s next!

Designing with state machines YouTube video by GitHub

I gave a lightning talk about why state machines should be part of your design process

...and gave a demo of an experimental Figma plugin I built that allows you to use state machines to power your designs

Here's the recording:

Yess do it

Yeah, I think a property editor will be so nice to have

I solve that by creating a note per person (tagged with #person). Then I can mention them in notes using [[

Glad you like it! Let me know if you have any feedback 😊

The Tags page has new view and sort options.

The command menu now includes contextual note actions if viewing a note page.

If you create a new note while viewing a list filtered by tag, that tag will be prefilled in your new note

🚀 We shipped a few updates last week:

1. The Tags page has new view and sort options.
2. The command menu now includes contextual note actions if viewing a note page.
3. Clicking "New note" while viewing a list filtered by tag will prefill your new note with that tag.

Thanks to Zakher Masri! ❤️

@schickling.dev is working on a local-first music app called Overtone that looks promising. Maybe he'll let you off the waitlist by 2026 😉

What am I working on? Wrong answers only...

I made an app icon for Word Rumble to try out OpenAI's new image model, and I'm impressed with the results!

I tried the same prompt with DALL-E a couple of months ago, and the results weren't nearly this good

Can confirm that @adrianmato.com is both a good hang and a good photographer ❤️

Lumen stickers. From right to left: - plain black and white - holographic - holographic yellow (special edition)

New stickers just arrived 📦

More state machine experiments inside of @figma.com ✨

I drew up how GitHub Copilot works in case you want a quick 'n' cheeky explanation!

Cheatsheet dialog

Cheatsheet link at the bottom of the sidebar

Just added a cheatsheet to Lumen so you can quickly reference keyboard shortcuts and markdown syntax.

Look for it at the bottom of the sidebar 👀

Special edition Lumen sticker

Lumen's local dev favicon

Just ordered some special edition @uselumen.com stickers that match Lumen's local dev favicon 🚧

Thinking I'll give them to folks who have contributed to Lumen in some way (e.g., sent feedback, submitted a PR, brainstormed with me, etc.)

Shoutout to @sawyerhood.com and Reid Draper for the ai-plugin-template. Super helpful 🙌

During our @githubnext.com offsite last week, I built a Figma plugin that allows you to create state machines and integrate them directly into your designs.

Coming soon to the Figma Community! (in review now)
