Congrats to NIO for being the only carmaker to design big touch buttons, and making them look great at the same time. Applying mobile design patterns to cars doesn't work. The gestures, although hidden, are also really helpful while driving!

ChatGPT now creates custom React components based on mock vehicle data.

Next up having it create custom UI themes!

Mapbox Studio is really underrated as a design tool, it's super fun to design custom maps and you can really tweak a lot!

What if you could explore Wikipedia on a map?

A little project I've been building with a friend over the past months!
