Some very exciting news - it looks like the working group for AT Protocol at the IETF has been approved! (though not formalized in the datatracker just yet)
This is a big milestone in the standards process. But is also just the start of the actual process - years of meetings & work ahead!

5 minutes for consistency
What to do when you don’t feel like doing the thing.
Billow was pixel-perfectly designed by @cedric.design in Framer.
To implement the design, I created a little plugin that generates a markdown spec from any selected frame to paste into Claude Code as reference.
Works great so far 🙌

Great work-related news: We won the @framer.com “Best Big Site” award for our work on the new Miro website!
Credits mostly go to @cedric.design and Sam, but I was still lucky enough to contribute a few lines of code here and there to extend Framer's capabilities 🙌

We have reached a moment where instead of releasing software you simply release the detailed spec for software and tell people to prompt their agent to build it themselves

I've been obsessed with this song by Fred again.. for the past week.
Everything, the sound, video, overall vibe, feels perfectly imperfect and raw. Love it.

Terry, the person behind the fantastic essay on "Phantom Obligation", truly delivered with his RSS reader!
Some really interesting concepts in there that I haven't seen in any other app in this category.

We've been hard at work on a new website with new guides, better docs, more translations, even our very own blog. We think it looks pretty sharp, too. It's now easier than ever to just build things with AT Protocol.
A quick little demo* of Kai, the annotation tool I've been building over the past week.
Hugely inspired by agentation.dev, but I wanted to create something framework agnostic that you don't have to install inside your project.

I like reading and I like data visualisations. So why not convert the books I've read into stacked bar charts?
Each year has its own book stack with the books I've read. The height indicates the number of pages.
It's now part of my books subpage! 😊

As always, h/t to @cedric.design for the clean design.
Worked on the main layout with its "scrolling window"-like structure this morning.
Don't mind the content for now, just placeholders :)
Today, I started to design the overall layout for morgen.blue.
In the process, I discovered this beautiful icon set, which I really like:
