How to Add Hotlink Protection to Your Web Fonts With Netlify Edge Functions and Deno by Sidney Alcantara betterprogramming.pub/how-to-add-hot…

As a company from eastern Germany, we know that building a wall to try and keep people from leaving isn't a good idea.

Switching from #Sketch to #Figma and I have to rely on so many “hacks” to get things like components to scale with a fixed aspect ratio :/ figma.com/community/file…

I think @Discord’s new font ‘gg sans’ works much better as a UI font, with more vertical strokes than the previous ‘Whitney’, making it more readable in small sizes. Interestingly, some letters, like ‘g’ and ‘a’, look pretty similar to Whitney #UXDesign #typography

Seeing as Twitter is a bit bleak today, who’d like some swag? - Figma logo hat - Two pairs of white socks - One pair of black cursor socks - Limited edition stickers, NASA style I’ll post anywhere in the world 🌎 To enter, retweet this (sorry, it’s the easiest way to track!)

if you are not a software engineer and have not worked on consumer web scale distributed systems, consider that maybe you have no idea how they work

Hey @typefully what happened to the monospace font in the minimal editor? It felt quite nice to write in that.

I’m excited for the potential of #Mastodon and the wider #fediverse/#ActivityPub network. It’s not perfect, especially #UX-wise. But it can easily get better. This is the real next evolution of the web. This is the real #web3. 6/6

The idea of the #fediverse seems like a much more viable solution to decentralising the web than something #blockchain-based. Our existing, standardised technologies already work. The lower learning curve makes it easy to build upon—and own. 5/6

#Mastodon has made me really excited for the #web all over again. The interoperability via a W3C standard, #ActivityPub, makes it just like HTTP and email. No lock-in. No advertising. No opaque algorithm designed to maximise engagement. Just a place (or places) to connect. 1/6

Vercel easily has the most dev-friendly UX out there

when you catch a bus that arrived 3 mins early then starts speeding, then you realise it’s actually the previous bus that’s 15 mins late ah, the 370 🫡 #sydneybuses

Wow, this is the best description of NFTs I’ve ever seen

Forcing someone to do something “outside their comfort zone” before they are ready is not helpful, it’s harmful. Neurotypicals think doing this “builds character” or whatever, except it doesn’t… 1/5

reason number 1 of why you should keep `sans-serif` as your fallback font in CSS #sydneytrains
