Reading list

• We're fresh out of general reading links this week, and we're not going to write anything funny because it turns out some people are actually reading this stuff and now we're self conscious. Shoutout to Part.no!
  

Design of the week

• A throwback gem, this site is demastering Dookie, the '94 Green day album you might remember. The site looks the part too. It takes a lot of effort and expertise to maki things look this low tech.
• Pedro Booking joins the pack with a super cool site that makes designs itself from the imagery and underlying content.
• Twomuch Studio delivers on their mantra of playing with all things digital.
• Yes, this by Amalie Knopper. We want all of internet to be just like this.

Tech of the week

• Deno 2 launch! Firstly, thorn to the hour-long launch video, obviously inspired by the legendary Dollar Shave Club commercial. Difference is that DSC boss and main actor is... an actual actor, and the idea was original, because, well, they invented it. Do something else when you obviously have both the time and resources to make a video. But perhaps they had to shave time and shave money. Anyways, Deno 2 is out, next-gen'ing JavaScript runtime.
• The battle between Wordpress.org and WP Engine continues. Login into Wordpress.org requires stating that you aren't affiliated with WP Engine. Mullenweg can't comment though, he's on vacation.
• Make your Mux player look like anything you want with these ready made themes, over at player.style.
• Eventually, you don't even have to attend online meetings at all, where you'll substitute yourself with gen ai and transcripts. First though, you'll need a realistic and expressive avatar, and Zoom will let you have it real soon.
• OpenAI is introducing Canvas, a collaborative new way to interact with ChatGPT.
• Prompt, run, edit, and deploy full-stack web apps with Bolt.
