Recent discovery
Put yourself in a position to maximize moments of luck through action. Love the way Soleio visualizes this. Soleio was one of Facebook's first two product designers, where he led design of the version of News Feed that introduced the Like button, plus Groups, Messenger, Video, and Chat. He then joined Dropbox as Head of Design, growing the team from three to over forty. He's now an angel investor whose portfolio includes Figma, Cursor, Granola, Vercel, Perplexity, Framer, and Replit — companies whose products other designers use to make their own work.
This talk is the opening piece of The Forum Library — the permanent editorial archive of Tokyo Design Forum.
Tool tip! WhatCable | USB-C cable diagnostics
Ever noticed how not every USB-C cable behaves the same? WhatCable is a free, open-source Mac menu bar app reads your USB-C cable’s actual specs and tells you in plain English whether the bottleneck is the cable, the charger or the port.
