First, we need to find how a "wheel" actually feels perceived from the front. While we can't get infinite angles of z rotation in Figma, we can get close.

This paper suggests a potential massive revolution in social science.It develops a system where LLMs automatically generate scientific hypotheses, and then test those hypotheses with simulated AI human agents. Even at this early stage, it works surprisingly well. Exciting atuff pic.twitter.com/ekZHYTJHcY— Ethan Mollick (@emollick) April 20, 2024

Love your that simplicity; consider highlighting this in screenshots. Less social proof; it’s premature and doesn’t build trust. Focus on showcasing the product UI instead. Reduce text in UI shots, enlarge them to emphasize ease of sharing thoughts.

Asking very specific questions is an underrated skill. Both to yourself and other people.The opposite is asking “what do you think about X?”You’re functionally asking for the entire range of thoughts I’ve ever had about X, where X is always impossibly broad and non-specific…— Maggie Appleton (@Mappletons) April 16, 2024

Sigh. Okay, once again: The reason the end of the federal net neutrality rule didn't significantly impact the internet is California shortly after enacted its own net neutrality rule, and carriers decided it was cheaper to stay net neutral than create a patchwork for every state. https://t.co/NLV5rEJKt0— Matthew Chapman (@fawfulfan) June 11, 2023
