I’m working on converting my recipe collection to markdown to access in Obsidian ☺️ I feel so free!

Complementary podcast is taking a little Spring break, but we'll be back in April with new topics and discussions around interface design!

Nothing makes me feel more accomplished than installing a new light fixture.

This week on Complementary, Anthony and I were joined by
Laura Sinisterra to chat about her unique visual design style. One of my favorite conversations to date, thanks Laura for joining us!

Wow, I had totally forgotten about this detail. I miss it!

That’s funny, interior designer is mine too.. though I’m not sure that’s safe from AI (it should be IMO).

I think I would start a residential house cleaning business. I’d leverage all my cleaning knowledge, train a team and have a service that’s really easy to book online.

I simply made the suggestion when we were working on some improvements for that menu. Most people felt the same way as you internally, it was a no brainer!

☺️ it's the little things

Sometimes you just need to rant about AI with a friend. Anthony and I did just that this week on Complementary.

Zoom backgrounds are simply not made for people with curly hair.

I thought I’d have better luck finding someone to give me a post production template based on my current audio setup. So not necessarily hardware based. There’s some sites out there for that. I’ve also heard you can hire people to have a video call and live tweak your setup together 🤷‍♀️

I’ve had this same thought, tried to find someone, gave up, and now just live with mediocre sound quality 😭

Ohh, I haven’t heard of this one!

I would classify it as average shininess level I think 😄

Not necessarily a coffee table book, but Virginia Howlett’s Visual Interface Design for Windows has lots of nice images.

Hi Sidd! Miss ya bud, you should post here more

Congrats Alena! ❤️

Take a lil break from your clawdbot setup and immerse yourself in a conversation about icons in menus inspired by Nikita Prokopov's article "It’s hard to justify Tahoe icons"

Well this explains a message I got from Davy earlier after my cat jumped on me during a meeting.

I’m also frustrated with apps lately and I want to try making my own. You’ve certainly inspired me!

PJ, how did you get started making iOS apps? Is it a large learning curve?

Fun times debugging GitHub workflows

How's your day going?

The new 28 Years Later really hits! Starting off 2026 strong.

Totally agree. I haven’t really found a solution, I just put up with it. Which is a bummer!

I’ve been getting ads on podcasts completely in Spanish lately. I don’t speak Spanish. What did I do to invoke this?!

I hate that the new artwork quad at the top takes up like 50% of the screen forcing me to scroll to see the list of episodes
