Inter is having impact beyond my wildest dreams. When I started working on Inter ten years ago, I didn’t even expect it to survive the prototyping stage. Now it’s used by governments (including Switzerland, which is ironic in a way) and non-profit organizations around the world, bringing good typography to the people. It warms my heart to see so many young designers being able to express themselves in “Swiss style” without the need to break any laws. When I was a kid and an aspiring graphic designer, I could barely afford food and definitely did not have the money to buy font licenses. I wish Inter had existed back then.

Our ambition is to build the best (and most used) billing platform in the world. So our focus is: - 10x better AX/DX for billing than status quo [*] - MoR is an opt-in feature vs our entire business - BYOPSP - Moving up market; VC backed applied AI startups as current ICP We’re not settling for ”Just another MoR”, and we’ll look quite different 3, 6 to 12 months from now. Never been more excited. [*] More on this soon and what we’re cooking right now to rethink billing 👇

What got us here, won't get us there. Excited to be home from Berlin and execute on some core bets for the future. We're rethinking billing from scratch. More soon.

it's time we put the fun back into the creative process. introducing soundscape — an experimental, granular synthesizer for ambient sound experiences. 10 modules, one rack, no rules. newfragment.com/p/Tga-_MJi soundscape is part of a broader initiative called @newfrgmnt. my personal quest to bring soul, taste & feeling back to the digital world.

bullish on @polar_sh and good photography

The audio engine is written in Rust & runs off the main thread thanks to WebAssembly. Rain on a tin roof, a broken music box. Describe a sound and soundscape synthesizes it, piped in from @ElevenLabs. Soundscape comes with a pocket recorder that lives on your phone. Scan the code in soundscape's buffer, tap the disc, and record whatever's around you. learn more → newfragment.com

no better team 🖤

Most animations don’t feel off because of the code. They feel off because of the decisions behind them: the easing, the timing, or the properties you chose to animate. My course teaches you how to make those decisions. You can enroll for the next 10 days. Here’s what’s inside:

if you see the @polar_sh team in Berlin this week, don’t be a stranger 💫

kentaro deserves more eyeballs extremely underrated

went to my hometown to shoot a wedding on analog film 🕊️

I’m celebrating 12 years in the industry today. What a time to be alive & do your life’s work 💫

@jorilallo @turbopuffer @Sirupsen We offer this as a native automation on products at @polar_sh. When a customer purchases a SaaS subscription or similar, they’re automatically invited. Slack channel access is revoked when subscription is canceled automatically.

International tax associated with SaaS subscriptions is making me wish I chose @polar_sh over @stripe. What a headache. Even with Stripe's managed payments it seems I still have to manage some countries manually. Any tips?
