Are you interested in Masonry layout?? Graphic design on the web?

We just published a 4,000 word blog post investigating the current stage of the Grid Level 3 specification and all the amazing things you can do with it: https://webkit.org/blog/15269/help-us-invent-masonry-layouts-for-css-grid-level-3/

If you design or build websites, please read and chime in with your thoughts.

Kinda wish Mastodon had "reactions" to posts... find myself resorting to stars as a generic acknowledgement, when I'd much rather give someone a 👍 / 😂 / ❤️

Going to be in NYC next week, any design events on I should check out?

Any recommendations for new mobile games that are worth checking out (and aren’t “free to play” slot machines)?

Feels like literally years since the App Store was a good place to discover new games.

Feel like a lot of the ideas in this talk are applicable to product design in general, not just games

Along with approximately half the planet I finally scratched the Northern Lights off the bucket list last night, though this doesn’t do them justice. What a show.

I’ve been obsessed with lightsaber replicas and I’ve been modifying mine to make it more movie accurate:

1. Sanded it to make it less shiny
2. Painted the inner tube black
3. Added The Force Awakens clamp plate to hide the Graflex logo
4. Replaced the glass eye with a more accurate one.
5. Replaced the “beer tab” with a flat one
6. Cut and assembled my own plastic t-tracks to fix a weird gap between the clamp

Help… #starwars #lightsaber

I'm going through various AI coding helpers for a few months now. I want to keep an open mind and understand if there's something really mind-blowingly helpful. But so far, I haven't found anything that is more than "nice to have". I think it's also a lot about the tasks that we need to solve at @getkirby Coding speed is never really an issue. That's why I don't massively profit from autocompletion help. The obstacles are always conceptual questions. Did you find anything indispensable for you?

After several years of depending on macOS Time Machine for my backups I’m beginning to fold to Apple’s easy route of just throwing Documents and Desktop into iCloud. We’ve already leaned fairly far into iCloud for photo backups so might as well

Finally finished Loki Season 2 last night. For some reason, I’d not watched further since episode 1 came out.

First of all, I love the art direction and casting. The aesthetics of the TVA are just sublime. Season 2’s plot has felt a bit all over the place, but ended well. What stood out most for me most though, was this lovely piece of melancholia at the end by Natalie Holt https://open.spotify.com/track/14ttivyM8Dj0xichnst1Vd?si=BcVDkD5nTDWLNn29BLB8ig

My fiancée and I want to make a new game on top of a core mechanic from a 2011 mobile game. It’s no longer on sale or playable anywhere, and the company that developed it doesn’t seem to exist anymore. We can’t even find any other games that use the mechanic.

What’s the correct etiquette here? Find one of the devs and ask for permission, or just do it?

Some properly futuristic hardware in the new iPad Pro + Magic Keyboard + Pencil Pro. Basically the perfect adaptive laptop. Looks amazing. Too bad about the software.
