Nota.md is a great note app that nobody talks about. It saves everything in plain text files / folders and is as fast as a native app. Although, apparently, it was written in PHP/laravel  😳

So underwhelmed. That event should have been a press release.

don't underestimate the power of spite, it's one of the most powerful creative forces

Any devs out there who know textmate grammars / have made custom syntax plugins?

Long shot, but any designers who code (svelte!) around to collab on a freelance project over the next few months?

if you don't make the tools of your dreams who will

Cooking up something really fun with @djrrb can’t wait to show it to you 🕵🏻‍♂️

I've been writing a series called "The Anatomy of Everyday UI", an engineering handbook for common UI features found on the web. My first article is a deep dive into HTML buttons, and everything they may be used for:

It dawned on us that nobody cared about footers. Which is silly because if your hero is actually a hero, it’ll get people to scroll. And what’s at the end of that scroll? Exactly.

Announcing the launch of Footer, the only footer gallery on earth.

saw this on tw*tter from @kepano and thought I would re share here

I make https://kinopio.club, a spatial thinking tool designed to get your ideas out and connect them. Here's a video showing the basic interactions (although the visuals have been tweaked a bit)

I'll also post about new features and WIP prototypes here too, if no one minds :)

Still looking so neat and fine after all these years.

TDD is such a hack when you have ADHD

The dopamine hits are constant ! 🤩🤤

Now to the good stuff: Expressions

With expressions you can reactively access any property of any node and mix it with regular CSS expressions, CSS functions and CSS variables.

Every property can be an expression and every expression can access other expressions or values.

WIP but man, have i fallen in love with PP Supply

Here’s an old neumorphic experiment from 5 years ago I found buried in Figma. Let’s some of your long lost drafts.

I freaking loved secret codes as a kid – likely a big part of why I got into computers in the first place. 

So when @djrrb  told me he had a mission (should I accept it) steeped in typographic secrecy, I knew I had to crack the code.

One thing I think Dribbble did well was keep the emphasis on humans, not companies. 

Every time you see a shot, it’s posted by a person, who may be *part of* a team. The logo is there, but it’s not a faceless brand. 

I hope Posts does follows this model.

The newest "Anatomy of Everyday UI" is all about color, starting with a quick review of color spaces, deep dives into gradients and color mixing, and pro-tips for using color in a way that works for everyone:

So many new productivity apps look-like, work-like, and compete-with Notion, probably bc they were made by Notion users who liked Notion but wished it worked *just* a little bit differently.

Just rewrote all the copy on my site. It’s soooo much harder to work on things that represent yourself than products or clients, why?

who else has the curse where you see a visual and you start deconstructing how it was made? went to a show and all i could think about was box modelling

contrary to what sales your algorithm is showing you today (and probably the past month 😓) 

you don’t have to buy anything today.
