new design patterns might now emerge from the cli

I started to draft this piece a year ago after experimenting with some prompt-to-interface tools, but only this week I could make sense of it all: this is the venn of my process and how I see design these days.

through the making of nichedesign.press I've been the:
- student
- curator
- writer
- editor
- publisher
- distributor
come to my show this thursday to see me building a product live with claude code. going to pick an idea on the spot, so make sure to submit an idea and rsvp to see the magic
buildyouridea.live
hope I'm allowed to do so
glad to be able to say that Niche design #2 is (almost) fully funded by some amazing sponsors
there’s still room so lmk in case you’d like to support
in practicing for my upcoming claude code for product building workshop, I ran a 5hr pilot with my sister-in-law a few days ago going from terminal basics to deploying with vercel. so far she has built:
- a bartender assistant
- board game nights tracker
- a digital cookbook for family recipes
It’s time to be an underthinker
my client projects rapidly become "build this thing" instead of just "design this thing"
I think I discovered Text Wrap by mistake while playing with Affinity in the early days of nichedesign.press
However it immediately clicked and became core to the overall design of the zine. I wonder what could be done for the next issue in the web now...
why mac mini? have someone made the switch from a macbook as a primary machine?
Building is an iterative, non-linear, and collaborative process. So why do team tools force planning into flat lists, grids, and linear documents? This mismatch between plans and reality is where a lot of work project anxiety comes from.
am I dev now?

Today's project: building a Google Slides alternative because why not
have we reached “the best design is cli” moment already?
first project as a parent
I hope building with Claude Code makes you prefer releasing over polishing as much as it does for me
I've never went to university but my little zine is going to join at least 3 design school libraries
Most founders are building their most important work alone. Heads down. Cranking. Coming up for air only when they need feedback.
Focus isn't a problem. Isolation is.
nobody is cooked or doomed; earn new skills, keep experimenting and explore stuff
embrace the new world
Flipping through niche spreads
Jesper, founder of teenage engineering on design: "design is everything and therefore design needs to be radical."
nichedesign.press
content pollution is just a form of slop
no thoughtful discussion will be emerged
what a fun
playing with some Niche design 3d renderings
a bit hard to control the actual dimension but fun
soon we'll need to make unskills
