I had such a fab time at this year's Green Man, and this piece really sums up how it feels to be there. Lovely take on why joy is so important. www.creativeboom.com/insight/why-...

Why Green Man Festival made me think about creativity in a whole new way

A weekend in the Welsh mountains taught me that joy isn't frivolous; it's a game-changer for creative work of all kinds. As a writer, there are times I've wrestled with the blank page. And whateve...

More lifts should play lift music.

Spotted these wonderful curated collection themes from rijksmuseum.nl 😄

Morning web-design bsky - can anyone recommend an app or technique to emulate the look of a basic LCD display on MacOS? Looking to test text rendering and icon line-weights without needing another monitor.

Front-end devs of bsky, do you have any new year's resolutions?

What do you think about whether a dropdown in a website nav should be triggered by hover or click? Thinking about a11y and UX, and personal preference.

We need more music where the singer says "take 'em for a walk, Artie" and then a guy with a clarinet just goes nuts for like 8 minutes

Nothing sharpens a client's mind like pushing to production! Suddenly lots of design features which have been visible for months on the staging website are throwing up all sorts of questions 😆

Remembering a web project from when flexbox was gaining momentum. Analytics showed modern browser use, but there was a really old version of Safari showing up consistently. Turns out that the client’s own team was supplied with old iPhones... horrible way to discover cross compatibility issues.

I saw 'Good Movies as Old Books' from Matt Stevens in the Smashing Mag newsletter. Really beautiful illustrations, and entirely convincing designs. You should take a look, there are so many. www.hellomattstevens.com/good-movies-...

I came across a bug in some js error-handling code and thought I'd post about it because it seemed subtle 🐛. When calling a recursive function from inside the catch of a try-catch, you have to capture or return the result otherwise execution will continue. Anyone know if there's a name for this?

When a checkout payment UI looks like this, I'm really grateful for Monzo's virtual card feature. Even if this payment gateway is secure, the design just *feels* sketchy. We're spoilt for choice these days, there's little excuse for this kind of nostalgia!

I've been in love with the Wulkan Display typeface all year. So many beautiful and interesting details!
