About

I build and ship consumer software at scale, and I care most about whether it lands in someone’s hands and makes their day better. My work runs from design roots into engineering leadership across products used by millions, with a bias toward the smallest valuable increment that can ship without lowering the quality bar. I am here to back makers who ship, learn from what they put into the world, and keep building things that benefit other people.

Gainmaps.com – Stunning colors for UI - Convert text and images to “Ultra” mode, aka HDR gain maps

Saw this effect, learned about the effect, built tools so you can do it too. It was concerning to see how we missed this effect for so long. It was tied up with HDR, but the whole point is that milage may vary when it comes to the actual implementation and display. Gain maps is the key and this will move us there as an industry. Since there’s many names for this effect, I’m trying to trend that we call it “ultra,” ultra text, ultra images, and ultra dark mode. Join me on this journey!
