It’s Niice’s 10th birthday today! They grow up so darn fast…

We couldn’t decide between facepainting or ice skating… so instead we celebrated by launching Niice Docs on Product Hunt https://www.producthunt.com/posts/niice-docs

Niice Docs - Online brand guidelines without the gruntwork | Product Hunt

Create living guidelines that evolve with your brand, in a platform that combines the easy editing of Notion and the creative control of InDesign.

We made a new thing that's launching today!

It's called Weather Machine, and it's a unified API for weather data. (This is the same system that powers Hello Weather, but now it's available for everyone.)

Say hello to Weather Machine

An all new universal API adapter for the world’s best forecasts.

Hello Weather
To celebrate the Kickstarter for Shift Happens going well, I thought I would show you 50 keyboards from my collection of really strange/esoteric/meaningful keyboards that I gathered over the years. (It might be the world’s strangest keyboard collection!)
Do I know anyone here who is familiar with the Japanese Thumb Shift or NiCOLA keyboard? I would love to ask some simple questions. (Boost and reshares would be very welcome!)

My book about keyboards, Shift Happens, is now on Kickstarter!

There is all sorts of new information about it, and a video, and what I think are very cool tiers and rewards on top of a very cool book.

Please back and spread the word!

@mwichary's Kickstarter for his book, "Shift Happens", is absolutely blowing up on Type Mastodon at the moment. And well it should!

I've had a chance to look at a preview, and it is infuriatingly good - Marcin's writing has always been relaxed and confident, and here it is paired with excellent typography, graphic design and photography too. $150 is a lot of money, yes, but it's the first Kickstarter I've looked forward to pledging in a long time.
