"Don't be afraid to build your own tools": dev rewrites Playdate workflow
eschadiol · x · 2026-09-28
Following up on his self-built Playdate visual simulator, @eschadiol argues developers shouldn't contort their workflow around official tools. The official simulator's "send image to device" didn't fit how he works, so he built his own Figma-to-dither pipeline instead. Core lesson: when a tool fights your process, build your own.
