This week we have Maggie Appleton, a designer and developer who is working on a new research tool called Elicit. Maggie is a masterful visual storyteller and has been creating images that are both beautiful and informative for years. She is also a proponent of Digital Gardening, a new way of building a personal website that is both beautiful and informative. We talk about how we should be building AI into our apps, and how we can use the power of local first development to make our apps more accessible to everyone.
