Welcome to Issue 159!

Happy new year, Product Disruptors! This is the first issue of 2024, so I decided to greet you with a little surprise :)

If you noticed, things look slightly different here – I went rogue a few nights ago and redesigned this newsletter directly in code. From here on, we'll start every issue with an editor's note to have a dialogue between us.

You can expect more additions down the year, like design tips, memes, deals, etc. How do you like this change, and what else would you like to see here?

Visual Electric – Design with AI

Visual Electric is the first canvas-based generative AI tool to create images. Moving away from chat-based AI tools to something that feels like a real AI-enabled design tool is refreshing. It also has features to refine styles, remove backgrounds, modify objects, etc. And they also have a generous free plan.
