Pixel Perfect Picks #133 - Dia, Claude Figma, WoW Lore

Hey there 👋

Welcome to this installment of Pixel Perfect Picks. Here I'm sharing something that I heard, read, and saw. You can subscribe to this newsletter here. I'm additionally publishing a more extended essay about software development, design, and freelancing every month.


Saw Something

A few months back, I was shocked by the announcement of the Arc browser team to not work actively on Arc anymore and put their full efforts into the new Dia browser. I strictly refused to use Dia. But now I gave it a second look. And honestly, I have to say, it really, really convinced me. And it's my default browser right now

Read Something

Claude and Claude code is everywhere. I cannot do a single browsing session through Twitter or LinkedIn without stumbling over somebody who built something with cloud code. I still wish for more AI power baked into Figma, because the canvas is my favorite tool for explorations. So maybe this comes in handy. Sill from the design systems community built this, and I find it quite fascinating for automating time-consuming tasks in Figma, like creating variables, setting up systems, or documenting components.  

Heard Something

Last week, I spent one entire week just playing World of Warcraft with the new expansion Midnight arriving. I really enjoyed it. I felt like 12 again, and it was a good reminder to do something like this more often that gives you energy where you can just relax and think about nothing. The downside is, now I'm really immersed in World of Warcraft lore, and there are great, very time-consuming podcasts that are also great to fall asleep to while learning the lore.
