So glad Alex is joining the Paper team!
The most talented team I’ve been part of, and I’ve seen some great ones. Exciting to be growing with great people.
I'm joining @paper to lead the development of the marketing website and pretty much every surface outside the product
I've been working with this team for about two months, and it's an absolute pleasure to officially join @agusegui and @uuuuuulala. With these people, nothing feels impossible

Using @paper with Opus 5.5 a lot for design work lately. I don't think I can go back to doing things manually anymore. It's exceptional for quick iterations and ideation.

Ksenia’s work is incredible
the PaperTexture shader has been rebuilt from scratch!
what’s new:
- a new pattern with straight fold lines
- a new angle prop to control shadow direction (combine it with seed for endless randomness)
- roughnessSize to control the grain size
- roughnessRows to arrange the grain into laid-paper stripes
- manual blending control over how the image mixes with the paper texture
- manual control over image distortion
- texture clipping via the image’s alpha channel
the roughness, fiber, drops, wrinkles, and crumples patterns are all still here, rebuilt for a more realistic look and better performance

ok, busiest week of the quarter and the power goes out. no screens, no agents - but I still had to explore something
forgot how good it feels to make something by hand, especially while AI devours the internet
this is what the last few months felt like btw, launching soon 🔥

we want an open space we can reconfigure for events and make a studio for videos
doesn't need many desks, we're still remote-first

Meet Paper Cards, our newest Grok Bot template.
Point it at a stream or feed a transcript, and it builds ready-to-customize cards in @paper. Teach it your own style: multiple aspect ratios and safe zones are included.
Shout-out to team @paper for the best agent-friendly canvas!

Paper Snapshot now captures canvas contents!
Use this to copy pages with animated content — be it Three.js, WebGL, 2D, or videos — and paste them as editable layers into @paper.

Had a ton of fun at our first Paper founder dinner last night. Great conversations with 20 design-minded founders. I learned a lot 🙏
And shout out to @designerfund for helping us put it together!
There’s being into design, and then there’s the @paper team. Doesn’t get better than hosting a dinner for founders that value design with them. Excited to try and top this with our next one ;)
