Design engineer and co-founder at Iperstudio. Currently building https://wiregum.com: a lightweight commerce backend for CMS-driven Stripe stores.
I’ve completely revamped Aura (aura.marcomezzavilla.com). If you feel like giving this little social experiment a try, or have any ideas on how to improve it without changing its core mechanics, I’d love to hear them!

I don't have much of a following online, but this little experiment turned out to be really fun: the-wall.marcomezzavilla.com Remember the guestbooks from the early internet? Same idea, except you can see other people moving around the page.
I’m building WireGum: a lightweight commerce backend that connects CMS-driven websites to Stripe. It’s designed for small physical-product stores running on custom sites built with tools like @getkirby.com 💜 and @astro.build. What’s missing from existing tools that WireGum should fix? wiregum.com

I'm so tired of being expected to read things that no one has bothered to write.
You've heard it over and over. But it's really astonishing(ly bad) what we're doing these days. 277 MB for the *text transcript* of a podcast. My browser nearly freezes.
New project — Tearoff.app Those flyers with tear-off tabs at the bottom (the ones posted on walls, full of numbers to pull away) are a familiar sight. This is my digital reimagining. Great for giveaways, discount codes, (almost) secret messages, and anything meant to be torn off.

Happy birthday to Bill Watterson, the creator of Calvin and Hobbes! Born on July 5, 1958.
"The most impressive thing humans can do is to think. It may be the most impressive thing that can be done. And the best kind of thinking, or more precisely the best proof that one has thought well, is to make good new things." A really enjoyable essay to read.

First solid Discovery Weekly in months just landed — mood instantly improved 🎧
Today marks twenty-five years of @johnfallsopp.com’s “A Dao of Web Design.” It rewired the way I thought about designing for the web; it started me on a ~decade-long journey to eventually landing on responsive web design. Still holds up, too.
Jeff Bridgforth@jeffbridgforth.com · last yr.Twenty-five years. alistapart.com/article/dao/ I wish I had been quicker to embrace the Web's fluid nature. I am grateful for @ethanmarcotte.com for bringing together different ideas into a practical approach that made building fluid sites much more practical and achievable.
What resources (sites, blogs, newsletters, etc.) do you use to keep you informed about AI-related issues? ✨
I don’t think there’s a phrase that annoys me more than “they don’t have the cards” right now.

I'm late to the new oklab/oklch colour syntax in CSS, but found this post by @ericportis.com to be a great explainer. With some interesting history of colour spaces too. Even if you only occasionally touch CSS, I'd strongly recommend giving it a read. ericportis.com/posts/2024/o...
