Panic should be just a super boring utility app maker but instead they do weird, great shit all the time 👏👏👏

Like every business, Panic has a curated, themed playlist that plays in our lobby, emanating office-parkily from a weird rock speaker.

The vibe goal? 80's-corporate, EPCOT center, inspirational slideshow of Apple II quarterly results, slight unease/discomfort, and personal computer optimism.

A spread from “Sinclair Programs”, a magazine that shared BASIC software for readers to copy. Some of these go pretty hard. via @goodspeed.bsky.social casualarchivist.substack.com/p/full-spect...

Fontstand have a survey going right now for designers, you fill it out and get a bunch of free fonts from its members! Here's some experiments with some of them—Klim Type’s Maelstrom and Dynamo’s Whyte.

Kagi is like using a search engine when they were good. Instead of slop, summaries, or ads you get links. They give you 100 free searches to try it out then $5 a month after that. (Stumbled across it in a @davidpierce.xyz article I think?)

The bullfrog in a tweed suit whose land I live on, came by to tell me they were busy planting this year's carrots. He proudly told me he still employs two gardeners, as his father did, though "only one maid." He then observed the rising spring sun and said "it's all diminishing."

When everyone is aggrandizing their impact on humanity over drone shots and 3D graphics, the most riveting product announcement will be watching an old man vacuum.

They’re neat, contained digital projects, often with clear inspiration you can channel, and then cherry on top—you get to animate them. They’re very fun to work on.
Ugh, typeface websites are sickeningly good!! And fun! gt-standard.com #designsky

17th C French aristocrats wearing “mouches” on their face to hide blemishes. Yuts wearing star-shaped pimple patches. Time is a flat circle.
