In the #LetterSet app, I have a library called paper-construction, which is used for creating construction and lined paper. I’m currently working on on on the opposite, paper-destruction, and it is lovely!

Dark mode can save between 39% and 47% of battery power on OLED displays. Over a billion smartphones worldwide use OLED. That’s a lot of energy we can help people save by simply starting with a dark-mode first approach.

Do you design dark mode first or light mode first?

There’s a 10-day livestream with just external camera images from Artemis II with no commentary

Great to put up on your TV and check by from time to time. Bonus: glitch art!

Moon fly-by is likely on April 6.

No, I don't know why (at least some of) the cameras are 4:3.

Given today's #Artemis2 launch, here's a scale model of the solar system if the moon were 1 pixel large.

(Feels like you could recreate some of the great design at https://follow.art/ with variable fonts!)

A delightfully presented dive into the state of those common patterns for which we've developed JS libraries and can now be entirely replaced by modern #CSS : https://blog.gitbutler.com/the-great-css-expansion
The Great CSS Expansion

CSS now does what Floating UI, GSAP ScrollTrigger, Framer Motion, and react-select used to require JavaScript for. Here is exactly how much that saves, why these libraries were painful beyond their size, and what the platform still hasn't figured out.

Which one of you is compiling the "Worst and Most Cringeworthy AI April Fool's Day Pranks that Companies Slopped on the Internet" post?

I'm looking forward to that tomorrow.

Using Drupal on every project isn't expertise — it's a habit.

A brochure site doesn't need a full application stack. A one-cycle submission form doesn't need a persistent CMS. When a project has no growth path, Drupal's long-term costs land on day one.

The bulldozer is real. So is the rose bush.

Knowing when *not* to reach for a powerful tool is the actual architectural skill.
