Had a lot of fun re-building ehungry.com from scratch. I even had some time left for design CSS fun on the Features page and the Bento section on the homepage.

We’re trying a rather radical new approach at Piccalilli by doing real world projects — for real clients — in the open. This gives us a context to provide genuine high quality, real world education for free at the point of entry.
We need your support to do free projects for good causes and publish free high quality education

While stumbling onto Dribbble, I saw a post (and its... expected comment section) that served as a microcosm of the current state of a once beloved service.

I'm excited to see that after 10 months of hard work by the team at Nolus, the new design of the dApp that we worked on last year is now live. I've learned so much from this project. Thanks for having me, Nolus 🙌

Just had another look at @penpot.app to see what's new. Turns out it's almost ready to replace Figma for me, the only thing missing is variables.
If at some point we have the option to write custom CSS inside that would be 👌🏻

We released springroll.com two months ago. We built this MVP with 2 designers and two developers for 4 months but what got me excited is that it was the first time I saw how fast small teams could move. And now I am hooked and want to do this over and over again 😊
