The ultimate guide to product building with the man who changed software

Um, and, um, personal is working with shoes. Great. But like it just, it, we didn't really get far enough and that was, it just kind of faded away, but I'd love to do this.

Um, shower sketch or steam, steam, steam wand.

Yeah, there's like so little to it, but there's a lot to it. The app does like nothing, basically, but the nothing that it does needs to be just so right to feel as natural as it would to really draw on a steamy shower door. I know someone could pull this off. I'd love to support it and make it happen. I would use it all the time.

One of the things that bugs me about sketching apps is how permanent they are. I know you can delete and the whole thing, but like there's just tools, there's tools everywhere. I don't want any of that. I just want to surface and I want to go away. And if I like what I did, I'll save it with a screenshot. That's enough.

Domino's at the right time is the perfect choice. There you go. As this thing would be the perfect thing to reach for when you want to be in that mode. And there'll be many times when I would use a sketching app for other reasons. So this is all about the Domino's moment, the shower door moment, this idea at least. But yeah, I think it's actually surprisingly hard to pull off well.
