I wonder the same thing as well. This goes for any sort of screencast. I reckon that it's something that was adopted from the gaming world? The short answer is likely: because branding.

I have not thought about the irony of “HTML blue” before, but I am not a fan of its use, nor that inner-nostril shade of pink (please don’t insult salmon by calling the color that). I love Space Mono/Grotesk and I don't understand

In all seriousness how similar (or different) is this to Ted Nelson's Xanadu franchises? The discussion around this post confuses me. Because in practice it doesn't sound that bad, but the comments seem to be against it. A person

Thank you for this well-detailed and educational response. You've thrown a lot of good study prompts in my direction. One last question – any book recommendations?

Your tone detracts from the intrigue of this comment I for one, have no problem with it at all. I only bring it up to make an accessory complaint about how the bland enforcement of "civility" online can stifle people who express t

I can't tell a bad SSG from a good one. I've never really used one. But your logo is spectacular and Saga reminds me of an app I use called Notenik that's also written in Swift and can be used as a static site generator. I do

I too am a layman in this area, but from what I've gathered is that the designers of Bauhaus and similar European design movements of the 1900s is they took design and all of its elements very seriously. "Good design" was a

Thanks for this. I hope to learn Emacs Lisp and perhaps learn more of the Lisp family. Right now I don't understand anything in this article, but it appears to be a simple way to put together something simple, which I'm interested

I appreciate how the author emphasizes attention much like how Josef Muller-Brockmann emphasizes space in his Grid Systems in Graphic Design . Typefaces are strange. Choosing the right one sometimes feels like a battle that's a part o

I appreciate and benefit from whenever a good design story is posted on HN and would like to implore anyone with access to them to share them more often or at least encourage readers to amplify the stories that are already being shared that

There a lot of terrible takes here from people who possess the intellectual gleam of a skinned cat. For one, the school is at fault because this isn't an isolated incident, the entire school is (statistically) dumb as the box that h

By what logic would a person enroll their child into a private institute that enforces a non-arbitrary code that they disagree with? I see no problem with a private Catholic school saying “If you’re not Catholic and have an issue with wha

I imagine this is because we are dealing with a people who feel that they are morally superior than the rest of the world due to worldly advantage and dominance. Whether or not this school was correct in their dress code [1] is shadowed by

Your username implies a gross bias. > Now imagine somebody saying that exact sentence in response to, for example, a man being stripped of his possessions because his caste is not allowed to own property. Is this in reference to an Islam

As salaamu alaykum, I enjoy reading your discourses in support of Islaamic economics. Do you have a blog, email or social media account? Wa salaam.

There is no doubt that the conditions in these areas are horrid. But trying to rectify them under an Islamic pretense will prove fruitless because the countries involved are not Islamic territories.

This appears to be an existential crisis played out in bullet points against the backdrop of current events. And rightfully so, one should be experiencing this. The author’s thoughts are a result of a worldview that many of you are responsi

Furthermore, Sorts Mills Goudy is a (very nice but) inherently small typeface and should be bumped up to about 18-20px. This is especially needed due to the page’s dark layout.

Not my post, but if I may I’d like to offer my input, please. The word “dominance” seems to carry a negative connotation in the context of interpersonal relationships. There a lot of historical factors that are the cause of this and it&#x27

As salaamu alaikum. I love you. Thank you for sharing this post and making the most profound comment that I have read on this site, bar none. It is strange to assume that two people who are different by their very nature can be “equal”. The

Notenik[0] is a FOSS native Mac app for note taking that I have benefited from tremendously. It has a few UX quirks to it, but the developer is highly active, responsive and friendly. Its strengths lie in its scripting and templating featur

I am new to Web development/design and I was wondering if anyone was going to make explicit mention of the divergence of practical intent (Web Docs vs Web Apps) and the role that browsers, standards and business play into it all. The f

All of the terms that you used are admirable and woefully missing today. It's unfortunate. But it speaks to the times that we are living in. This comment is probably being downvoted because people may argue that this "mmhmm"

Pardon the late response. As of right now I have no examples of my own to show you. Everything is theoretical. I'm not sure if this is something that has been thought of before and I haven't really looked around to see if there ar

It's interesting that you use the word "curation" to describe designing for literature. Lately I have been looking into how museums put together exhibits and how to integrate some of their approaches into web or print publish

I for one find your criticism to be enlightening and valuable. If I may ask you to continue, what qualities do you think are signs of good experiences in print and digital literature?
