New technology can be a prerequisite to solve certain non-technical problems, but it’s not the technology itself that solves the problem. Wikipedia is a good example. It probably wouldn’t work withou…

If you can skip it, it’s probably not designed right. Well designed onboarding should answer the questions you might have right when you have them , not before you even know that there is a question …

Depends on what color wheel you compare it to. I see it as a pretty reasonable compromise between the traditional 4 primary colors (red-yellow-green-blue) and the 6 primary colors of RGB (red-yellow-g…

Whoa, this was nice to see. I haven’t used Surge in probably nearly 10 years? I remember it was one of my favorite plugins at the time. It sounds lovely and has a great balance between simplicity and …

Happy to hear from Panic about this. I used to use Coda all the time and loved it. I can’t be sure that I will switch to using whatever this new thing is, but I’m confident that it will be lovely, as …

That’s the clue I used, but I didn’t find it very obvious which “Graydon” the URL referred to. I’ve never heard of Graydon Hoare before but he seemed to match up with the content of the slides. For so…

Trying to figure out who the author is, but it’s not very clear. Probably Graydon Hoare? Can someone confirm?

I would like to make a lightweight markup language for text and data, with some concept of possible future revisions. So when you try to commit a new revision of a file, it could automatically be veri…

Geocities was enormously popular for good reasons. However, I don’t think it had the ability to preview a deploy or roll it back with 100% certainty that it will be exactly as was before, which is som…

Sounds like you should start by reading about what Netlify does.
