MAKING FIFTYTHREE.

THE GRANDMOTHER OF INTENTION

Following our Think Kit announcement, we’ve received a lot of questions about
the mysterious Intention Engine™ that can turn messy circles and squares into
something like this:

FLUID TEXT INPUTS

Last fall, FiftyThree introduced Mix, a new way for users to collaborate on
sketches and ideas in Paper. Though it’s only been a few months since launch,
the Mix feature set has grown by leaps and bounds. One of the most requested
features was the ability to search for friends. Unsurprisingly, Mix users wanted
to find and collaborate with people they already followed on Tumblr, Twitter and
Facebook. Just before the new year we launched creator search in Paper and on
Mix.

THE PRECISION BEHIND BLEND

Last December we released Pencil, a natural stylus that activates three special
features when connected with Paper: Erase, Palm Rejection, and Blend. With
Pencil, we wanted to eliminate barriers between your ideas and your tools so
that you can stay in the creative flow without distractions.

PENCIL: A TOOL IN THE MAKING

At FiftyThree we are obsessed with tools: simple tools that empower their users
to do their best work. Take the Hori-Hori for instance, a well-loved Japanese
garden knife that combines simplicity with thoughtful functionality. Its curved,
partially serrated blade emboldens the “Zen Gardener” to clear weeds, carve out
planting holes, and split perennials all in one go. Tools like these earn their
love out of sheer usefulness and often we ask ourselves how we can bring the
same graceful utilitarianism to tomorrow’s electronic tools.

LOAD TESTING: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY

At FiftyThree, we love to inspire. Currently we do this by featuring the great
work that our community creates on platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr.
But we wanted to bring inspiration even closer to the creative process, so we
built a Made With Paper stream directly into Paper.

MEET FIFTYTHREE AT NYTM.

About two years ago, I remember attending NY Tech Meetup with Julian. We loved
the energy and excitement, and it was a reflective moment for us. We had just
arrived in New York and were getting started. We watched. Had a beer. And went
back to coding. So much has changed since then.

ENGINEERING ZOOM: THE FINER DETAILS.

In the previous post, A Closer Look at Zoom, we explored the design inspiration
behind the loupe tool. We hope that after experiencing the design for the first
time, you shared our delight in its combination of simplicity and utility. As a
team, upon seeing what the loupe could be, we immediately knew that it had to be
built.

A CLOSER LOOK AT ZOOM.

From the moment Paper hit the App Store, zoom has been one of the top features
requested by creators. While we wanted to implement the feature sooner, many of
the off-the-shelf solutions didn’t feel right for Paper. We’d like to shed some
light on why we chose to invest the time in developing a new type of zoom, and
what was involved from both the technical and design end.

WELCOME.

At FiftyThree, we build tools for makers. Our first product Paper is used and
loved by makers worldwide.

We, too, are makers.

Making FiftyThree is our new blog dedicated to sharing this side of our story.
We’ll provide a deeper look into our unique approach to engineering, design, and
building a company.

We’ll continue to celebrate the work of our creators on Made With Paper, and you
can remain up-to-date on major announcements via FiftyThree News.

FiftyThree is the space to create. Come on in.
