hey all, just released a plugin to scratch an itch. i'd been lazily adding linear gradients on the edges of scrollviews and animating them with JS based on scroll position. turns out you can do a lot better with pure CSS now by leveraging masking + the new CSS scroll animations API.

works in pretty much all browers excepting firefox which doesn't have CSS scroll animations yet, but the nightly version does, so it should be generally available soon.

demo site: https://pete.design/tw-fade

github: https://github.com/petekp/tw-fade

npmjs: https://www.npmjs.com/package/tw-fade

if you use it i'd love to hear how it goes and if you have any feedback.

Exactly. GPT happens to hallucinate a lot of "facts" making it unreliable for a large breadth of tasks. However it's quite adept at many NLP tasks and can be fine-tuned to further improve its domain expertise.

In any sensitive application like clinical charting, one would also want to include a workflow for reviewing GPT's output for erroneous data before welcoming it in.

I'm a product designer experimenting with applications for GPT-3 in the mental healthcare space and I'm encouraged about the results of some experiments in automating the updating of a patient's chart from unstructured clinical notes.

Today, this is workflow (note->chart) is almost entirely manual consumes a large portion of clinician's time. Automating this process could free up this time to be better spent delivering care.

The fact that someone without deep NLP/NL experience can bootstrap something with this much potential impact is incredibly exciting to me.

Designer that codes. I'm a product designer by training but have moved towards engineering-focused roles (e.g. UX Engineer) to help scale GUI design and front-end development functions via in-house tooling and design system development. I'm interested in multi-disciplinary roles that combine product design and engineering responsibilities. I strongly prefer working with world-positive companies with a strong mission and values.

I feel you. In most cases, Android and iOS's native components are superior to custom-rolled UI elements. Easier to use, more performant, and they leverage our platform muscle memory.

Fortunately, it does seem like these platforms are beginning to converge on a set of common UI patterns, e.g. Android adopting the tab bar, and iOS apps beginning to adopt Android's horizontal-paging navigation. The colors, iconography, and typography shifting can disorient somewhat, but I'd argue it's the navigation model that's most disruptive when using different apps.

While React Native doesn't fully support native navigation components out of the box, there are third party libraries that interface directly with native navigation modules, e.g. https://wix.github.io/react-native-navigation. Moreover, React Native makes it easy for developers to 'drop down to' native code at any point to fully leverage native SDKs and APIs alongside their Javascript code using the NativeModules API.
