I don’t get why people “asdfasdf” when it’s 10x more convenient to “awdawd” 🤷🏼‍♂️

Just noticed that @figma is using @missiveapp’s EmojiMart (missiveapp.com/open/emoji-ma…) when inserting comments 📨 🫶 🎨 Also noticed we reached 8k+ ⭐ on @github 😱 Made me realize that it was shamefully outdated 😬; we just released an update that includes Emoji v15 🫨 🫎 🪼

I should’ve put a tracker on it just for the sake of knowing 🫣, but there’s an easter egg on that website that I can spend HOURS playing with. This image is the only clue you’ll get.

Excited to announce that Tiny has acquired ConferenceBadge (from the creators of @missiveapp). One of my favourite types of businesses. ✅ A simple business I can explain to my parents ✅ Will exist as long as people keep going to conferences ✅ Profitable and asset light, with lots of opportunities If you're hosting a conference anytime soon, check it out: conferencebadge.com PS: Thanks to @plehoux for being great to deal with!

Spotify DJ has got to be the best encounter with an AI for me so far. Strikes a perfect balance between not being intrusive and making decisions for me. I find myself to rarely skip a track it suggests and, for the first time, almost wish I could speak to it 🤖.

Our CTO @rafbm reflected on the hard limits we need to enforce in software. He came up with a basic rule to ~arbitrarily~ choose those limits. 1 • 5 • 10 • 50 • 100 • 500 • 1000 • 5000 👇 read more 👇 missiveapp.com/blog/embracin…

Been willing to make EmojiMart a custom HTML component since forever! Very happy with the current state of the library; both in terms of accessibility and (I hope) even more adoption/contribution from developers across all frameworks. Give a try: missiveapp.com/open/emoji-ma…

[HIRING] Do you live and breath Ruby and Postgres? Our team at @missiveapp is still founders-only at this point, but we could use help from the best developer out there. Remote position. (We may look serious, but I swear our internal chat is a lot of fun!) linkedin.com/posts/plehoux_r…

A few years ago… on a podcast🎙 with @csallen I was explaining how @ConfBadge was rocking it but instead of caring… we had moved on & were working on a collaborative email app no one used… even less paid for @missiveapp…

I love how I get to experience the true nature of my dog stoically staring at you if you drop something at my door and take a picture as a proof of delivery. Lil’ creep is on every single one of them.
