Here’s where I’m at with the data gathering for the Type Atlas. Still a lot to fill in, but it already has more than 7000 typefaces. (Note: this is just a preview, the URL is likely to change)
I haven’t formed my thoughts fully, but I think about this often: running a more ethical, less extractive and capitalist business.
I’ve spent years doing this and what surprised me was the lack of appreciation for “doing things right”. I thought there was a certain audience (often, the indie web one) who would. but mostly what I’ve seen was heavily entrenched capitalism.
@stroughtonsmith@ctietze In my experience, even with a sidebar tracker, flexible spaces won't do anything, when using the "everything on one row" style. You do have to use the older toolbar layout.
@iandundas I hope that's the future of UI design. No more space taken up by pointlessly large toolbar buttons—just everything in a row, as colored stoplight buttons
@Cykelero@Retcon i'm shilling retcon over at twitter since that's where most of my social graph is (https://twitter.com/__justplaying/status/1788293496501055922) but seriously this app is the singlemost bull case for GUI apps. i just refactored a super messy branch into something much better with retcon + a bit of sourcetree + some CLI into a beautiful, mostly atomic set of commits, as it should be
@alice Thanks for the details! That's good to hear, because, commit splitting is already planned (for a post-1.0 update). It'll be crazy easy—just unstage changes when in edit mode :)
As for performance, yyyikes. I recently made some important UI fixes that really impacted performance, which stinks. Do you remember if the slow commits had huge files, or rather many files?
