I’ve been working on a thing where a bunch of raw content goes through a summarization pipeline and then gets manipulated with a bunch of checks to clean up copy and reduce clutter.

And then the visuals get added with a set of fixed templates. It’s not fully there but is reducing a LOT of the clutter.

Some of the results are even what I’d call good (and I’m a designer). I think a good harness could make non-cluttered results, if one of the AI labs was interested in a “less is more” approach.

Also feels copied from impeccable.style (which I think was the original anti-slop skill).

If it’s a collaborative doc, you could make a pretty quick WYSISWYG or markdown editor for inline editing.

I’ve done something similar with Figma-like commenting and find myself pulling it into all kinds of personal projects.

I’ve been prompting my way to all kinds of interactive HTML artifacts the last month or so. It’s way more fun than making decks and static documentation.

I even did a workshop with PartyKit cursors, dot voting, reflection comments, and an individual rating at the end.

Oh, and I can add super lightweight analytics so I know who actually reads my things or interacts with my prototypes. ^_^

Heh. Same here. I had the same reaction to “everybody likes Facebook.”

Following as I also don’t love the idea of double paying anthropic for my usage plan and API credits to feed my pet lobster.

A little more background:

Around this time last year I shared a talk on Enshittification, discussing what it means for design and technology professionals. Somehow it ended up being the #1 talk of the conference... so my team got to talking about how to build on it.

We felt like a children's book was just the right mix of irreverence, cheekiness, and fun to make this complex, systems-level topic more accessible for people.

It's a real children's board book with colourful illustrations printed on thick cardboard pages. The team had a LOT of fun putting it together — debating what each letter should be and how best to illustrate it.

And it's been a surprisingly useful tool for connecting with like-minded individuals in tech!

My fav letter: X (which of course, is for Twitter — RIP sweet bird)

Most difficult letter: K (after many discussions, we landed on K-shaped economy)

Longest word: Verschlimbessern (borrowed from Pavel Samsonov of The Product Picnic... the German's have the best words)

Oh this is neat. Explains why I’ve seen a few Kagi referrals in my analytics.

Thanks for your work on this. It’s appreciated!

Thanks. Definitely planning on checking this out!

If I’m understanding correctly, you’d likely combine this with Figma MCP for reading? Ie. have Claude Code read the file to understand a request, then use this tooling to make modifications?

Over the last year I’ve been exploring the overlap between UX and Product leadership, and the growing tension between the two. I've compiled a list of books, talks, and other resources that helped me make sense of the divide. Sharing in case it's useful for others working across design and product.
