Theme of the week is FUD - Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. Seems like an unescapable fact of life these days. Current affairs have gold fish memory, we're swimming in muddy waters and can't see shit - but we do know one thing: there are links to be read. We skipped a beat last week, but who would've know unless we just told you. So let us tell you what else is up outside of our own little pond.
Reading list
Design of the week
- Temporary Liveness proves you only need typography to create engaging design and interactions. Yeah, that's not news to the savvy readers of this journal, so consider yourselves the smartest people in the room and get on with the enjoyment, okay.
- This creative copywriter right here is not worried about no robots to take my job, but I do seriously worry, still, about developers making others redundant. I mean, how is is possible to rewrite and add insight to this statement: "Modern Font Stacks – System font stack CSS organized by typeface classification for every modern OS. The fastest fonts available. No downloading, no layout shifts, no flashes — just instant renders." So if you're into that, click the massive link.
- Zzzzz. Getting phased of all the greatness out there. What should we give this typographical wizardry, variable gradient pixelated goodness. A million of ten or something. Only apparent purpose of existing is to make everyone else feel antiquated. You can feel the same way by clicking onto Lena Weber's site.
- Let Akash Sendure show you a thing or two. Thing one is excellent implementation of data visualisation, expertly integrated in a useable and perfectly balanced we page. Second thing is the tonnage of CO2 private jets emit.
Tech of the week
- Eating your own medicine can be hard sometimes, but it seems to be an especially hard pill to swallow for Samsung. Just when we forgot about how they used an SDLR to create demo images for their latest and greatest smartphone a few years back, they're actually at it again. This time by "zooming" onto the moon with preexisting high-res imagery.
- Hey, you don't have to take Reddits word for it. Someone else at feed posted the same story, just through The Verge's proverbial lens. Since we don't have a massive amount of link this week, this counts okay.
- And yeah, who at Feed could forget about React. Yes, React.dev is still worth bookmarking if you haven't already. Please use it to create interfaces from components.
Here's to a better future for all.
