The sunrise paints the sky with a warm orange glow that gradually transitions into soft shades of yellow, light blue, and finally, a deep, vibrant blue. In the foreground, the silhouettes of trees and houses stand dark against the brightening horizon, their features softened by the gentle embrace of dawn.

The orange sun is rising in the distance behind hills and beneath a blue sky and wispy clouds.

Foggy morning with orange colors peeking behind the trees and clouds with the corner of a house in the foreground.

I'm captivated by the juxtaposition of this plant and its shadow.

I'm very impressed with how well my 5+ year old Chromebook can run my Apple Studio display, and the overall user experience is pretty good. I really like how ChromeOS handles desktop management.

Jack has been rising and shining at 4 am instead of his usual 5 am, and it’s throwing the entire sunrise routine off balance!

I love the vibes on Posts and wish I could search by content to add to my mood boarding ☺️ @andy

I purchased an HP Elite Dragonfly Chromebook to test out Google’s new AI functions. I have been using it for development, design, and entertainment. I have been surprised by how it feels faster than a Windows, Mac, iPad, or Windows computer for most things.

And Apple is somehow still allowed to be closed off in the US? https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/07/us-judge-orders-google-to-open-up-google-play-to-rivals/

Hey guys, I'm open to full-time roles. Pls reach out

I've picked up a new audio interface and had a successful first day using it with my work MacBook, microphone, and headphones. My goal was to find an interface that would work with my iPad for Loopy Pro. The compressor and vintage effects bring a pleasant warmth to my audio.

It's nice to see css-tricks active again with new posts and good information.

I hope Posts never flips a switch like that without letting us opt-out first.

If you are scrolling the feed and enjoying an interaction on Posts consider supporting the platform. When you become a supporter you unlock some great features, and at $60 a year it was a no-brainer for me. https://read.cv/about/supporters

Not to brag, but Kamala Harris is texting me daily.

Another sunrise. I really like the colors these past few days.

new work set up 🙂‍↔️ table lamps recommendations, anyone?

Now that the first wave of domains on read.cv have finished registering, we should mention that we revamped customization on personal domains!

In addition to color/typography you can now add a custom OG image, favicon, and hide social features for a more editorial look  🎨

This little free web book came out today (could not have arrived at a better time), and it looks amazing.

Build that website you’ve been thinking about.

I want a cleaner url for my personal site. I wish I could just use my first name, but it is so common. Anyone have ideas? I offered to buy a domain of my name at an auction for $2k and they countered with $15k!? Come on it is a name…

If I had complete control over Figma development, I would assemble a small team to bring the full Figma experience to the iPad.

Joywave was great! First real concert out since the baby!

The light of the sunset on this tree was beautiful.

Some of the Apple Intelligence demos are silly. Why would I bother typing "turn on do not disturb" into Siri when I could just click an icon in my menu bar once? Which seems like the more efficient workflow?

Feeling really excited about next week's episode of 🎙️Fieldnotes — Beyond Artboards: When Designers Become Founders

Another sunrise after feeding the little one.

We have been huge fans of @srd's work for quite some time now, so it was only natural for us to invite him to create a template for Read.cv. Today Simon is sharing his template, Ørsta!

Every morning, after rocking my son back to sleep, I have started taking a moment to enjoy the colors spread out as the sun rises. The picture doesn’t do the beauty justice.

I was lucky to meet one of the Palmyra band members during a San Francisco backyard concert. I've really been enjoying their recent album Belladonna. The song Happy Pills in particular has been on repeat. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=lvVKnLKlU0s&si=H78N52eYG-rBgJC5

Another beautiful sunrise. We had a bee visiting us as the sun came up, and they made a cameo. The little one is still hanging out on the window.

I just ordered the new iPad Mini, and I can't contain my excitement! This update is exactly what I've been waiting for—the Mini is the perfect tablet for my needs. I will be sad if they ever discontinue it.

Hello everyone. Please can you help me review my portfolio.

All feedback are welcomed. Thanks. 

I'll work on the thumbnail 🙂 preview shortly

I'm annoyed that Opera decided it made sense to call their AI assistant Aria. Really Opera?!

Instead of having a portfolio site, I use @cv to showcase my case studies.

It's so neat and practical.

Thinking of subscribing to a magazine that's design-y but not necessarily focused on any particular industry. Any recommendations?

Lots of good points being made in this article
