Been seeing so many of the “I rebranded this company the way I thought would look cool” and I always thought that was corny / silly / an easy cop out creatively. And then this weekend while on vacation I thought of a brand I’m really into and thought why not try???
Turns out sometimes it’s fun to just do the thing. In 2025 I’m trying to keep an open mind with these design prompts and lean into them as opposed to critique them from a distance.

I tend to be really hard on myself when it comes to creative projects, but lately I've been trying to relax and enjoy it more, and I think it shows in the work. I feel more daring, more invested, more inspired. I find it's a lot easier to spark new ideas when you aren't wasting mental energy fixating on whether something is good but instead focused on having fun. People are intuitive. They can pick up what you're putting down.

I’m building a site that features me interviewing my friends/randos online about their creations or what they make (art, music, writing, etc) but keeping it very hyperlocal. It’s my first time having something I’ve put together and still learning
I thought everything had to be perfect at first but I just got Cargo, messed around with formatting and color palettes, and sourcing the content from interviews or my own writing! Good luck! Get creative!

For the sake of thinking out loud, I like the idea of going above judgement when experimenting. Maybe something like:
-Beyond Appraisal
-Testing, Not Judging
-Testing and Learning
-Experiments Welcome
-Failure Encouraged
Also if you all take submissions for photography I'd love to submit some stuff

Top Recs from @marianoleonczik
florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones — we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness — weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

I feel like there’s a special connectivity on this app that I haven’t felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010’s tumblr. The fact that you can’t promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isn’t mass video content like Tik Tok is great. It’s not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope we’ll all be here for a long time.

I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. It’s made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought I’d feel the same way about URL friends. I’m constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
It’s nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. I’m going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
