Reading list

• Mayank, a design-driven web developer, lays out the good, bad, and the ugly about React Server Components. Criticism within the React community can sometimes put you in a hot seat, but chill, it is well written and sympathetically explained.
• If sustainability and privacy wasn't enough, digital services should also sustain your brain better. Reduced screen time is a new years resolution stronghold, and perhaps it's time to revisit it. But also, think about it for a moment. Let's say you're drinking too much. If that's the case, then the doctor will tell you to stop drinking all together. But, if you drink a little, every day, you'll be a lifelong customer. House wins.

Design of the week

• We're obviously suckers for good design and platforms that match the service well. POOL is one of those. It's a brilliant concept, built on a seemingly low code platform just like startups like this should, all well designed and beautifully explained.

Tech of the week

• Perhaps most surprisingly, Tetris hasn't been beat in its 40 year history. That is, until a 13 year old boy had an overlord moment.
• InVision, a $2B design startup, once looked very promising as it was taking the fight to Adobe. But Figma soon entered the tournament too, and a few years later, InVisions Freehand was sold off to Miro. InVision just announced that they're closing down its design collaboration services.
