A lot of the tips in this article are very similar to the ones provided in this fantastic book: The Elements of Style [1]. I highly recommend it, even for a non-native speaker. [1] https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Style-Fourt

It's funny. I just finished writing a lesson where I teach about different color formats. In it, I explained how difficult it was to choose a color with rgb values, because that's not how humans think about color. This game is a g

Fair point. I'm planning on making those elements "tag" agnostic. That way, you can use a CSS class or a <button> instead of an <a>.

I thought the name hinted at the fact that this was a WordPress replacement, not a static site generator (which there are plenty off). I used to build lots of WordPress themes years ago. I've seen a lot of static site generators poppin

I second that on desktops/laptops as well: being able to click on a piece and then on the target.

You'd be surprised how much private conversations are had on a work chat. And even if some conversations don't discuss anything critical, it could still be used against you somehow.

I've tried to like Obsidian for a long time. It had never clicked with me, despite it's simple interface and seemingly great support. But I recently finally found a great use case for it: saving code snippets. Specifically: code s

Very neat. Reminds me of the Overlap app by Moleskine Studio: https://moleskinestudio.com/support/overlap/introduction/ove... Great UX but only available as an app. You have the advantage of being on any plat

Exactly. Combining vh with a min and a max height is the best solution nowadays to design an effective landing page.

Very interesting! A few years ago I imagined something similar, with the added ability to move blocks between adjacent windows: https://twitter.com/jgthms/status/1225513837379641350

I didn’t realise it was linked to in this article. I built that on a whim several years ago. It’s more about what can be done in 4 min rather than what’s being done. But I’m glad it inspired people to try to style their own website themselv

Oh, I was going to mention that one. We're in October 2023. A video published in November 2021 should not say "1 year ago" but rather "Almost 2 years ago".

That's a shame, sorry to hear that. I got more lucky: I had to wait for 6 hours too but my flight suddenly resumed (must have been one of the first few). I didn't have any alternatives to go home either so I feel for all of those

Just wanted to say the landing page is excellent. I love the 1-2-3-4 steps with instructions and screenshots. It shows how easy it is to set up and avoids the classic marketing focus on bold headings, "personas", fancy icons, vagu

The reason why I switched to using the DisplayPort is that it’s the one port that supports higher refresh rates ont my Dell monitors. I didn’t realise it was more “friendly” than HDMI (which comes in various quality standards).

I love this, it’s brilliant. It’s actually more usable than some websites I’ve visited.

I’ve been using BetterSnapTool for years. Can’t recommend it enough. It takes a bit to configure your zones, but it’s so versatile and easy to use. I have dozens of shortcuts to divide my screen into 3rds, quarters, 6 or 8 equal zones… htt

The Push 1 looked like a prototype. The Push 2 is such a massive improvement. It’s visually and functionally perfect. It was hard to find fault in its design and workflow (if you are a Live aficionado of course). If you don’t like the uniqu

In this case, “hexa” (meaning “6”) is the number of stages of this trail. A bit arbitrary though but I guess it hints at the fact that it’s a French trail, France being referred to as “l’Hexagone” like you said, even when talking about only

I've never bought a car but if I do, that might be the third most important criteria on my list (1st being security, 2nd being reliability/ease of maintenance). It seems the Japanese brands (Toyota, Mazda, Honda…) tend to tick mos

That's a very good idea. But do you just create one for "All Applications" called "Paste without formatting"?
