4+ years of using @arcinternet almost every single day!
Arc didn't just change how I browsed, it made me fall in love with using a browser.
I've tried @diabrowser, but even without updates, Arc still feels like the better product.
@joshm @browsercompany @charliedeets, you built something people genuinely loved, only to take it away. This isn't how it should have ended.
What do I even switch to now?
RIP to the best browser!
You deserved so much better 💔
We've decided to sunset Arc on December 22, 2026.
That's not an easy sentence to write. We spent years building Arc and celebrating each and every release along the way: we have so much pride and love for what we made alongside the Arc community.
Our priority is to deliver best-in-class security for our members. Keeping a browser secure takes constant, dedicated work that is only increasing in the age of AI. Dia was built from the ground up to meet today’s security standards, so that's where our engineering and security teams will focus moving forward.
We've worked to make switching to @diabrowser as easy as possible for Arc members. Here's how:
· Your passwords, bookmarks, extensions and history come over to Dia seamlessly.
· Spaces, Folders, and Tab Groups are in Dia and import over with your data intact.
· Dia now surpasses Arc benchmarks in stability, speed, and security.
· The browser features you use in Arc are free in Dia, and the AI is optional.
Thank you for using Arc, for pushing us to make it better, and for building alongside us. The team that made Arc is the same team behind Dia, and some of our most ambitious work is just ahead. We'd love for you to be there with us when it lands.
I rarely call out brands publicly, but this one genuinely hurts.
I’ve followed @GullyLabs since its inception, worn two pairs of their sneakers at my wedding, and recommended them to countless friends. I’ve always rooted for what @arjuns__ , Animesh and the team are building!
But this Durga Puja, they’ve lost me as a customer.
I ordered their special-edition Puja sneakers on October 12, specifically to wear during the festival. The website promised dispatch in 2 days. Eight days later, Puja is almost over, the shoes haven’t shipped, and there’s still no clear update.
What made it worse was the store experience.
After being told the pair was available in Bengaluru, I went to the store, only to be told otherwise. The salesperson then tried to pass off last year’s edition as the current one, couldn’t explain the differences, and was outright rude and dismissive when questioned.
For a sneaker brand built around culture, storytelling, and community, you’d expect the people representing it to understand both the product and the customer.
I’ve seen @arjuns__ & @GullyLabs talk so much about putting culture and customers at the heart of what they do. But culture isn’t just about the stories you tell or the sneakers you sell. It’s also about how you treat the people who believe in your brand.
I wasn’t just buying another pair of sneakers. I was buying something special for a festival that means a lot to me and my wife.
And that experience is now gone.
It’s disappointing to see a brand I’ve genuinely cherished since day one get something so fundamental so wrong.
You’ve lost a loyal customer, Gully Labs. And that genuinely makes me sad.
I'll be at #ConfigBLR 2026 with a few folks from the @JioHotstar #Design team!
If you're around, come say Hi 👋
Would love to swap notes on design systems, entertainment, building for billions, or simply hear about the interesting things you're working on 😇

It’s been a dream of mine to build a cabin in our cardamom estate in munnar, kerala.
I had a specific vision of a cozy space using reclaimed wood and stones from the estate where you want to just relax and i think we achieved it!

I built something for fun 😆
It's called LuckyDangle, and it basically lets you hang a lucky charm on your Mac 🧿
Check it out and show some love ❤️
Caved in and got the @delhiwatchco Devanagari Chronograph.
Arrived today and I can’t stop looking at it. What a beauty!

Had a lot of fun animating our new Grok Bot icon. It's entirely made in code, with every state, shape and expression able to morph smoothly into the other. And of course, I made it with Grok Build.

I was missing my barber today and the 90s songs and it led to this.

Let me know what scene should I add next...

I was down with chickenpox recently which meant 10 days in isolation. One of my stalled projects that I got done was a science fiction short story at the intersection of the singularity, bangalore nostalgia, indian culture, patriotism and hindu mythology.

I've now added Wispr, Notion, Granola, Fireflies, Zoom, Gemini, Cluely, Otter, Fathom, Read AI, and Wingrep to every meeting.
Each produces slightly different meeting notes.
I send all of them to Claude and ChatGPT, which push the summaries into Slackbot and Salesforce AI. Linear agents automatically create tickets while Notion agents create follow-ups in Notion. A Zapier workflow then uses 500k tokens to draft a follow up email in Superhuman.
None of it works and all of it is wrong but man, is it beautiful.
AGI is here.
