Seriously recommend the app Particle - shows you reporting from multiple news sources, how they distribute from left to right, and allows quick summaries, all for free!
Great UX, kudos to the developers!

I think it’s kinda wild that more than 90% of the brand guidelines I receive (from large branding agencies!) don’t meet WCAG AA on lots of their recommended colour pairings — I shouldn’t have to go back and ask you to re-select accessible combinations, surely that’s part of the selection process?

You can tell I spend too much time with fonts… Immediately spotted that something was ‘wrong’ with the typography of one of our apps (in a test env). Turns out it wasn’t correctly pulling Lato, and instead was falling back to Roboto. Didn’t think I would have noticed but it seemed clear as day!

So sad to hear about @vickytnz.bsky.social, also a key member of @nuxuk.bsky.social, and always bubbly and happy
We’ll miss you 💚

So sad to hear Vicky has died, such an integral part of the UCD community.
Inspirational in the work she shared through her writing, her involvement with @nuxuk.bsky.social and the always must-read 📚 book recommendations provided.
I'll miss her.

Devastated by the sudden loss and passing of our dear friend Vicky. She was a kind, thoughtful and all round amazing person. So much integrity and sincerity
Thinking of you Vicky ❤️

so much of the pronoun bullshit is just people being angry at being asked to treat others with a basic level of respect
you don't have to understand gender dysphoria or being nonbinary or neopronouns to just... respect people's wishes about how they want to be addressed

For designers on Mac who are delivering stuff for those on Windows, made a useful comparison for myself of the fonts that come pre-installed in Windows ✨ 🎨
Most useful for delivering documents without having to ask someone to install a font so they don’t break formatting 😅

Interesting to see Leica baking in some ‘made without AI’ stuff into their latest cameras, seems like a direct jab at the Pixel 8/Adobe’s new AI editing bits

UK Gov: We’re gonna ban disposable vapes!
But not: We’re gonna set a standard that manufacturers have to follow for tops and bottoms so you can fit any top to any bottom
Result: Owners will now own like 5 different battery bases and have to be brand loyal
No thinking 🙄

Really excited for the Apple Event as per… Might hark back to my live-tweeting old days, so would love others to discuss with! 🍎
Every year I go ‘no I won’t upgrade’ but every year I do… I’ve loved my 14 Pro Max, but I’m sure I’ll love my 15 Pro Max just as much! 📱

Obligatory hiya! Hoping this is what I miss from the days of twttr 🐦, hoping to build up a nice network like I had there!
