I did a thing. Today is my last day as a full-time employee. After working as a principal designer for large corporations, I left my six-figure salary job to start my skincare brand. It's a passion project that started almost two years ago, using my evenings and weekends studying and researching everything I could find about cosmetics formulation and skin chemistry. My journey started with a personal motivation: I wanted to help my mum manage her psoriasis. I explored various options to create products that didn't contain harsh ingredients, fragrances, or preservatives that could worsen her flare-ups. Oh, and it all started in my kitchen: mixing over 50 formulations, performing lab tests, damaging the skin on my face more than once (learning the hard way, literally), looking through thousands of ingredients, and begging manufacturers to let me try their actives free of charge. As I've been self-funding this project from the start, I put all the money towards the formula, leaving nothing else for the website, packaging and social media marketing, so I've had to do all of that by myself. I've recorded a brief video with the help of a friend to tell my story to the world.

This entire presentation left me speechless. @elonmusk you mad man.

I got tired of losing things I copied, so I built Copycat. It lives in the Mac's menu bar and remembers everything you copy: text, links, colours, screenshots and files. Try the site: getcopy.cat The page itself runs Copycat. Copy anything on it and press ⇧⌘V. The beta is free. DM me for an invite.

Hasta la vista 🦾

Just in time for the weekend! Let’s go Jev!

The new Apple Watch sensor cluster reminds of a ufo 🛸

I am Fabio, Principal Designer in fintech, and founder of @moumoujus. I am originally from Sicily but I’ve been living in the UK for 23 years. I currently reside in Manchester. I am currently looking to connect with people that have experience running their d2c brand, ideally in the beauty space. Let’s connect 🤜🤛

I haven’t been this excited about an iPhone in a very long time!

If I had the time I would run a one-person mixed-media shop offering services that span across design, development (web front/back-end, macOS and iOS), 3d production, sound and animation. $20k/month fixed package, being upfront about AI used extensively as part of the production. With the power of Astra we are unstoppable creative machines. What's holding you back?

A few more renders done by GPT-6 Astra, this time challenging it with fluid simulation.

Okay Astra is incredible with 3d! I have uploaded the schematics of @moumoujus' glass bottle and it created a 3d model in Blender and then rendered beauty shots. I am speechless.

Copycat is feature-complete! 🎉 I have a few more TestFlight slots available for new testers. If you'd like to try it, DM me and I'll send an invite before it goes live.

Well, let's go!

I love @grok @bot! I’ve setup Valentino Garabotti to give me daily recommendations of what to wear based on the events I have in my calendar and the weather at my current location. It also generates the image and finds the stores where I can buy each individual piece to complete the look.

I love this platform!
