Reading list

Design of the week

  • Overjoyed about this ridiculously over designed and blatant mastodon of corporatism, complete with an abundance of blue, sound effects and a high tech tunnel through the maze that is Ezramiller.biz.
  • No wait, this is too good to just put out there. Will post what's supposed to be here in exactly the same spot next week, or update the post sometime today once it is approved and clear that it's ready to go. Backspacing isn't allowed in these posts, so sorry that you had to read it. But if you did, just know that there was supposed to be something neat here.
  • And yeah, we are witnessing the first stage of the inevitable implosion that happens when a major company buys something. Very soon, your Slack client will be redesigned, and hoo-freaking-ray. Slack has never been particularly known for good design or UX, so it's understandable that they're overhauling it. You know what, maybe we'll be proven wrong and end up loving the redesign. Rumors has it they're also ditching the Slack moniker and becoming the Everything Platform for Salesforce. More on that later.

Tech of the week

  • Some good news from our own neighbourhood! Værsågod, a reputable web agency, have published a Craft plugin that does cool and useful things with AI.
  • Project IDX, an experiment by Google, is a web-based workspace that enables full-stack multiplatform app dev to the cloud. Read more on it here.
