We had the privilege of working alongside @chrischirp a Professor at UCL, on uplifting the design & user experience of the Trump Action Tracker website.

The Trump Action Tracker documents how the trajectory & actions of the Trump presidency are aligned with an authoritarian playbook. The work we undertook helps update visitors with latest actions via news stories, bringing data into focus & making it easier to download data sets for research or reporting https://www.trumpactiontracker.info/

We’re still working our way through all the feedback and comments from WebDayOut, and we are completely blown away.

Thank you to everyone who attended, shared thoughts, asked questions and made the day what it was. The energy in the room, the conversations between talks and the ideas shared on stage are a reminder of how valuable it is to step away from our screens, come together and learn from each other once in a while.

We’re already thinking about what's next 👀

Tomorrow we’ll be gathering in Brighton with a brilliant group of speakers and a room full of people who care about building better for the web.

If you’re joining us, safe travels and see you soon.
If you’re still thinking about it… there’s just about time 👀

If you're looking for a good excuse to step away from your screen, learn something new, and maybe make use of that training budget before it disappears, may we suggest Web Day Out.

It's a one-day event for people who care about the craft of the web and it's happening next week!

While carrying out an audit for The University of Manchester we occasionally stumble across some weird, wonderful and fascinating work happening behind the scenes, such as this... https://dalton-nrs.manchester.ac.uk/

We can't *guarantee* it's just a simulator

Don't forget our service design breakfast is this Thursday morning.

We'll have all the usual pastries, coffee and service design chats, with the addition of a guest speaker this time. Let us know you're joining so we have enough chairs to sit on and enough croissants to go round 👉 https://ti.to/clearleft/service-design-breakfast-march-2026

Five years after creating a digital design system for Malvern Panalytical, we’ve partnered again to explore new ways to showcase their precision laboratory analytical instruments.

Through a focused ideation project, we helped uncover opportunities to better communicate the value, clarity, and innovation behind their products. Great to keep building on a strong foundation together with the team 🙌

Your next breakfast and service design fix will be next Thursday 5 March. Same time, place and format as usual 🥐☕️

As always, if there’s a specific topic you’d like to explore or something you’d like to bring to the table, we’d love to hear about it. Whether you want to share a few thoughts, bring along a short presentation, or simply listen in, it’s completely up to you. Just let us know.

If you haven't already, register here so we know to expect you👉https://ti.to/clearleft/service-design-breakfast-march-2026
