I'm very excited about WebMCP Here's Paper in an iframe, being controlled by an external agent that wraps it, all in the browser WebMCP opens up cool embedded flows
We’re starting to see a new wave of high-craft software and I’m here for it. We need faster, reliable tools. It takes an insane level of effort and talent to pull it off. The goal of every product company should be to make software that will be remembered for decades.

Quick Superlogical demo to end the week. This demo is just of the basic functionality, but I want to highlight just how FAST it is. There's a WHOLE lot more functionality already present and coming but I wanted to keep the demo short. But seriously, check out that speed. I'm showing the macOS app here and I get asked a lot so let me just say up front: its not macOS only. We're still figuring out exactly what platforms will be stable enough for the initial public release, but we're working on others. In particular, the web interface is very functional but I'll demo that another time (or someone else will). This is also all showing off the architecture I previously talked about for terminal multiplexing which is significantly different from other mainstream multiplexers: this is all a custom binary protocol where the server is maintaining N replica distributed terminal state machines. It works! Tons of hard work going into this by the team @almonk @dizzyup @pearkes. Hope we can bring you something you can use soon. ❤️ Happy to answer questions in the replies.

Paper's growing fast and we're adding to the team to keep the engine humming. Know anyone awesome in early growth operations?
We're hiring our first operations role at @paper We just raised a $34M Series A from Accel and ICONIQ to build the next great design platform, and we're growing fast. Since launching Paper Desktop, we 25x'd ARR in a month and are growing 30%+ MoM (and accelerating!). If you're passionate about our mission, see the JD in the comments

designers have been asking us to let agents generate images in @paper now you can! just ask your agent to generate images. you can even ask it for different image models, or to make briefs of mixed layouts and images super cool

fyi you can generate images through @paper mcp now, ask your agent
Incredible to see how many people are using Paper daily in this thread. Paper is growing 30% every month and it's accelerating. Great times ahead!
Who loves @paper? Who hates it? Why? I'm thinking about switching away from Claude Design
We're seeing a lot of people love pairing Conductor and Paper together, so we sat down with @charlieholtz to film a walkthrough And in the process I learned that Conductor might be about a symphony conductor?! Cool.

I love YC Design Review! So when they asked if I’d like to film an episode I flew to SF as fast as I could. Check out my chat with Aaron on agentic building, Paper, and tips for reducing slop.
AI isn't just changing the tools designers use. It's changing how they build, ship, and stand out. In this episode of Design Review, @stephenhaney, founder of AI-native design tool @paper, joins YC's @aaron_epstein to demo the agent-first workflow that's making Paper one of the fastest-growing design tools since Figma. Using live redesigns of user-submitted websites as examples, they break down the most common AI design tells, show how to fix them in seconds, and explain why the biggest risk for founders isn't moving too slow, it's shipping something that looks like everyone else. 01:04 - What is Paper and why build it? 03:17 - What makes Paper agent-native 05:11 - Demo: Shaders, image generation, and brand design 11:32 - Design-to-code and the new agent stack 16:48 - Design Review: Legion Health 24:11 - How to avoid AI design slop 28:26 - Design Review: Sytex 32:42 - The biggest tells of AI-generated design 37:39 - Design Review: Moreta 41:11 - Can AI learn taste? 43:56 - How Paper uses agents internally 46:52 - Building a community around Paper 49:15 - Lessons from Steven’s first startup 53:30 - What’s next for design and Paper

If you're in SF let me know if you spot a Paper LED truck (there are several)
Good morning! The Pen Tool is live in Paper Draw shapes, generate SVGs, or vectorize images, and edit the points and paths. Paper uses real SVGs so exports are 1:1, no surprises. The new SVG workflow: create → refine → ship. Try it out! And show us what you draw.
