Don't you mean the mental clarity _you_ get from it? Everyone is different, so not everyone will have the same experience as you.

Low bar on Android? I haven't found that to be the case. Whenever I switch between the two I don't notice a difference. It's 2025, not 2015.

Surprised to hear that, the Android app is very solid overall.

We definitely lost something when people stopped using Photoshop and Illustrator!
Our tools really shape us.

Hah! I guess we're both designers of a similar vintage ðŸ«

Reminds me of this classic onion article!

Not sure about growth, but there is a fairly solidly active community on here.

Totally get this. Last year, I was working on a project with just me and a dev friend. We worked together for 3 months and explored startup ideas, made working prototypes, and ultimately launched a small side-project, all with zero meetings! It was such a dream.

That acquisition held back the design industry by at least a decade.

Good question, I'd assumed they're working with a writer of some kind but maybe not.
Most of them seem to be reading from a teleprompter, so it seems very scripted.

I can totally forgive the performers, but not the script writers.
I think they should just let people be people and don't try all the hokey scripted jokes.

A lot of their patter is really tough to listen to.

They referred to it as Figma Design a few times, so I think that's the new name already.

Microsoft have a great track record of owning the enterprise tier of apps.
e.g. Slack vs MS Teams.
They can afford to let Cursor and Windsurf win the SMB market and slowly catch up with CoPilot.

I wouldn't be so sure they're not capturing value:

Absolutely. We struggled with that at Pitch. It was hard to find which wedge to attack, especially because we were VC funded so expectations were high.
The table stakes features required to directly compete with PowerPoint are insane. You need an angle.

That's mainly just writing a unique prompt and providing files.
I'm looking for something that's a bit deeper and comparable to what we're doing so I can learn from it.

That looks more like classic web layout with sementic HTML/CSS? I don't use Tailwind for that type of work. Mainly use it for React apps.
comment in response to

I thought that at first, but got used to it over time. These days I just see it as a different syntax for CSS that is more readible inline in react than standard CSS.
I also like the nice text, padding and sizing defaults which make good design easier by default.

What's your experience with it been like?

Same. I've a book android tablet and an iPad I rarely use.
I like when I use them, but never really formed the habit around them.
Maybe it'd be different if I didn't have kids 😅

Agreed, I think some products make more sense to be the last mover and others it makes more sense to iterate publicly.
comment in response to

We definitely want to take that approach, at least with the core tokens.
Not sure really how much to do it, because it also sort of goes against Tailwind too.

Thanks for the reply.
I mean things like background, foreground, accent colours etc.

What's interesting is that it seems that two party systems are especially vulnerable to this type of situation, because the algorithms encourage an us vs. them polarised debate.
