Notes from the studio on building products, our own and other people’s.
- Building the field: one ribbon behind the whole siteThe background of this site is a single fragment shader that draws one slow silk ribbon. Here is how it stays crisp, calm and cheap, and why we threw away the first version.
- Why a client studio builds its own productsRunning our own apps keeps us honest about everything that happens after launch: support, analytics, pricing, and the fourth rewrite of onboarding.
- One team, both sides: design and engineering without the handoffWe don't run a design phase and then a build phase. Here is what changes when the people who draw the interface also ship it.
