R "Nearest" Nabors

One of my personal goals with Mima.social is sharing what's working for building an app in the agentic era. It does NOT require complex agentic workflows and intimidating "software factories. Want a "Mima Labs" blog to share what we're learning?

hi, i made a screen recorder !!! it's called Screenie and it's out now ❣️ it follows your mouse and zooms where you click, smooths your cursor, has pretty backgrounds, blurs private stuff and a lot more. no account needed and everything stays on your mac <3 try 4 free at screenie.cam

Getting into how we built Mima and use local models in this one!

In this #InfoQ podcast, Rachel Lee Nabors explores how local-first apps and on-device small language models (SLMs) can deliver more privacy, lower latency, and reduced costs without relying on cloud-hosted LLMs. 🎧 Listen now: buff.ly/bEMiUBl #AI #LocalFirst #LLM #Testing

Me: "Let's focus on the product and our users. The time to worry about raising is when investors start to show up in our inbox." Me this morning checking my inbox: "Goddammit."

I enjoy talking to tech folk about their ideas and the challenges their projects bring up-front. At points, the conversation is fluid and natural of the bat, that was the case with @nearestnabors.com. Great conversation on how small-languge models can empower your app, but not for everything.

Some folks remember I wrote a book about UI animation. Spending my morning adding some extra polish for folks without reduce-motion turned on! Love mima.social <3

Our friends at Glia sent @mima.social some birthday cake 💜

Watched Perfect Blue for the first time tonight (huge Satoshi Kon fan). TFW you find out you named your cute little social media app for the star of a slasher film!

Shipped mima.social v0.3.0 last night. It is so gratifying to work on something I love for people I care about. It doesn't feel like work. I wake up with ideas, and I go to bed with my heart full 💜

Just keep shipping :)

Mima.social first intern incoming! We're a ragtag crew, and I'm pretty proud of what we're cooking. (Note: intern is NOT a pigeon)

Oof. This is why I've gone back to engineering. Being really ridiculously good at explaining things is not the marketable skill it was 12 months ago. https://x.com/seanallen_dev/status/2112167799132979389

New art for the office

Mima's first hotfix: deployed. And also, a testament to shipping ASAP!

Anyone else running hotfixes late at night?

Hi from Mima.social!

Do you use a personal agent like Clawd or Grokbot? If so, how often and which one?

Thinking about something is not the same as doing it

I didn't expect anyone to pay attention to my posts about Mima.social in those "self promotion" channels, but I'll be damned if I haven't gotten some amazingly detailed user feedback!

Even if no one else uses mima.social, I use it every day. It makes my social graph whole.

Working in some Mima.social stickers on the flight to London

The reason there are no women "greats" in animation likely stems from the fact that Disney had a policy of not letting them animate. This, we have "nine old men" and not a single woman in the golden age of animation

Does anyone remember RSS? Feedly remembers.

hi from mima.social

Some entirely random sketches found here in a pile of notes...

Howdy, from mima.social

Gotta thank Amy Wibowo for her advice to lampshade how Mima uses (or doesn't) AI features. We're big believers that AI should get out of the user's way and not feed their data to third parties. Check out Amy's amazing engineering zines: https://shop.bubblesort.io/

Landing page designs in progress

This is a hello post from Mima.social! Hi, Amanda!

One composer, post to every network

Preparing for Launch Day in SF tea houses. Ship all the features you want. People still need to understand why they should install the thing before you can consider it fully shipped!

We're here! Mima launch party happening in SF this week: https://luma.com/codera-i3wh
