We took the kids to the OXO video games museum in Madrid yesterday. I had so much fun showing them the stuff I grew up with: Pong, Golden Axe, Half Life… most of the good old things. I missed some of the best graphic adventures like Monkey Island or DOT. They loved it, nevertheless!

Focus rings! Plural! I wrote for @piccalil.li about how to create a branded double ring focus effect that is dynamically generated based on the interactive element's text color. piccalil.li/blog/taking-...

🚀The new CSS sibling-index() and sibling-count() functions let us create staggered animations, dynamic color palettes, and even complex circular layouts with ease. I wrote about my first experiments with these fantastic new CSS additions. So much fun! ♥️ ✨ #CSS utilitybend.com/blog/styling...

I'm growing tired of people blaming accessibility guidelines, for stripping away the creativity from the web. Most websites are not accessible. Many designers don't know (yet I hope), or don't care about accessibility. Or care in a performative way. So, stop blaming accessibility for this. Thanks.

I imagine it must be tough for Apple to attract and keep AI talent. Beyond the technology challenges, positioning themselves as an ethical and secure alternative to all the chaos we see in politics and tech might be a good strategy to achieve that. And then, this happens 9to5mac.com/2025/09/04/a...

Why would anyone drag and drop a local file in front of their eyes when they could sign up and install an expensive cloud-hosted AI agent and type out a long, specific, English language command to move it? gist.github.com/0xs34n/a5738...

This week’s newsletter was difficult to write, so I imagine it’ll be difficult to read. “I know deep down in my bones that it is hard to lose a child, because as a parent looking at another parent you recognize that parent is going through the thing you fear most in the world.”

The joy of logging into Okta and going through its two to four-step process 27 times a day.

I spent some time yesterday porting one of my favorite Atom themes to @zed.dev github.com/hejrobin/gloom. I'll likely ask Robin for permission to release this 😊

Did you know you can do `height: stretch` now in CSS? Works for `width` too. /via @patrickbrosset.com developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

If your app contains multiple scroll containers, consider adding `overscroll-behavior: none` to your html/body to prevent "page bounce"

Hugeicons is one of the most beautiful and versatile icon libraries currently available. It offers over 40K icons divided into nine different visual styles. *Incredible* value for the price. I’ve been using them for a while at work and in personal projects, and I’m in love hugeicons.com

It’s been really surprising to me how many people don’t know how bad Substack is. If that’s you, no worries, check it out: leavesubstack.com

After taking a break from coding for a few years, getting back into it seriously is the perfect excuse to use @zed.dev and @11ty.dev. Spending an unreasonable amount of time fine-tuning everything feels both refreshing and liberating in a way. Also, finally, Aeonik. www.awwwards.com/font-inspira...

“There’s a difference between being confident enough to say ‘this is my opinion’ and being humble enough to listen when that opinion needs to evolve.” Preach! I’ve also found myself telling people “not yet” more often, as some ideas just need time to mature and connect with the rest of the system.

I’ve had a similar experience with a foldable treadmill. It’s fantastic, especially if you can focus for a while without many distractions.

We're committed to the development of AI offerings in Zed, but we recognize that not everyone wants these features in their editor. Today, we're shipping the ability to disable all AI features within Zed, via `"disable_ai": true`. zed.dev/blog/disable...

Three years later, we returned to the Horse Lighthouse (Faro del Caballo) to fulfill a promise we made to the children. The hike was truly worth it.

HEADS UP. BSky added a feature that allows people to be notified every time you post. A fine feature! By default, it's set to allow anyone to do this. If you are prone to stalkers though: *Under Privacy and Security settings, you can change this to only allow people you follow back to use this.*

I have an unusual superpower of getting sick on holiday, which usually never fails to disappoint 🫩

My former VP of design recently shared with me the latest iteration of a project I crafted with care before modern tools, which has been key to the brand for nearly four years. I felt immense pride in its impact and the team's ongoing improvements. Well done! tech.cabify.com/blog/design/...

I wish more people built things with the end goal of helping people, rather than the end goal of getting acquired or going public.

What happened in New York has restored some of my lost hope.

My wife and I have just organized a route through the Pyrenees with the children, including all the activities, using Perplexity. It’s amazing to tweak every nuance of the plan as you go. It’s fourteen pages!

A year ago, my little one was receiving radiotherapy after the most brutal round of chemo of the entire treatment. Today, he graduated alongside his preschool classmates, almost as if nothing had happened. I cried a lot. He’s the best.

I’m not quite ready to engage in a discussion about the merits of a hamburger menu, as if it were 2015 all over again.

@brunostasse.bsky.social would it be possible to have a chat like interface with an input that is fixed at the bottom on a bottom sheet with detent panel using Silk? I guess so, but I’m curious, as we have a very specific use case for an AI companion. Thanks! 😊

On Apple TV, you can go to Settings > Accessibility > Display and set the focus style to high contrast. To be honest, I don’t know why this isn’t enabled by default.

I really fucking miss design systems

So, so true. The gap between design tools and the possibilities of the CSS based web platform is getting bigger year by year. @ishadeed.com at #cssday. (Reminds me of @matthiasott.com‘s talk last year cssday.nl/2024/#matthias)

LOL, next level troll mastery

David is on fire. I spent too much time trying out all the options. So cool!

Already had the original scans as a RYBitten profile, but added nocilas’ version too — very clean work as always! Love how the dark variants expand on Harris’ ideas. The colors render beautifully! github.com/meodai/RYBit...

having worked on creating interactive type specimens during my tenure at Monotype, I'm always a bit partial to them, this one's delicious. gt-standard.com

We at @evilmartians.com created palette generator for designers, based on the most advanced color math (OKLCH, APCA), which we’ve started to understand well. harmonizer.evilmartians.com Here’s a video example of how to use it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nvw...

When I'm fed up with the tech industries latest bullshit, I put on some nice music, scroll through my camera roll and watch photos of my kid. It's the 2025 version of this:

Uniwidth fonts are still a rare breed—there are probably only a dozen or so out there. So it’s always great to see new ones pop up!

Just finished watching Andor. The last five episodes were incredibly good, adding so much depth to the saga. I need to rewatch Rogue One now.
