Come an join us, we'll chat about all things service design while eating all things breakfasty, if that's your bag.

It's free, we just need a heads up if you'd like to come https://ti.to/clearleft/service-design-breakfast-may-2026

Pretty much everything we do in our day jobs at Clearleft goes hand-in-hand with organising an event. We've got project management, years of speaking and curation experience, with all the design and UX thinking we can throw at it. And that's why we've been hosting UX London for 17 years!

Check out this year's rather impressive lineup 👉 https://2026.uxlondon.com/

Anyone here have a strong opinion one way or the other about Payload CMS? (https://payloadcms.com/)

The whole React / Node.js aspect doesn't fill me with joy or confidence, but maybe i'm wrong?

Payload CMS | Node & React TypeScript Headless CMS

Payload is an open source, headless CMS and application framework built with TypeScript, Node.js, and React.

This looks hugely important – the Section 28 Justice Coalition.
If you live in the UK, please consider signing the petition to get a public inquiry into the impact of Section 28 on LGBTQ people – the link should be on their website.

There's also an opportunity to write a letter to Section 28 – I've just submitted a short one.

If you don't know what Section 28 was, click on the link...

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/

Trump Action Tracker | Keeping a tally of Trump's actions

Free and independent tracker documenting Trump-related actions using verified news sources. Statements & plans mapped to authoritarianism domains.
