Touchless

🚀 Data should be an accelerant, not a limiter. But it takes thoughtfully designed data flows & proper tooling. Learn how Touchless made this a reality for @WaveDirectHQ using data interface design and leveraging technologies like and @HasuraHQ. 👉 bit.ly/3nGJebH

"The way we build things online is really frustrating. If we build with #inclusivity, we build for everybody. We all benefit." - Kevin Gervais, Founder & CEO, @touchlesscode 👏👏👏 #FoundersWeekYQG @ALSOGroupOnt

How Touchless used a data-first approach to help @WaveDirectHQ 4X leads. And the data flow that makes it possible - powered by @HasuraHQ, @GatsbyJS, @Netlify, RudderStack 😃 , @statflo, and @sanity_io. ▶️ Watch the tech session on-demand: bit.ly/3DtuCC3

Thanks for sharing, Joanne! Great Technical Session with the team from @touchlesscode today 😎. We'll have the link on demand in our video library soon - stay tuned.

Shoutout to @Backstage_Cap for the most names on this list. Great to see funds like you backing these ventures.

So we launched blackledstartups.com today after we saw there wasn't a good list of businesses to inspire young entrepreneurs. Built in @GatsbyJS and @fauna. Looked at 70+ sources but we're missing a ton. Ping us if you want to contribute or feel we should add something.

If you ever think you're good at CSS, check out this website. These designs are all done with a single <div> element. It's insane! a.singlediv.com

@mackenziechild Well, that makes this a successful Friday then. Love the project by the way. Very Glitch.com which I’m a big fan of.

@mackenziechild ok last one. if you want more subtle, heres a version.

Ok, every single person has picked 3 😆 What about between these two color combos?

@mackenziechild also, the shadow of the last o doesn't match that of the other o, but it's hard to fix that without making the beak so far out, which felt off, so we kind of landed back where you did. but this was a draft of that one.

@mackenziechild oh but its just the little touches. you can get away with stylized but that extra step - oh that's magic. ok we went back to the drawing board.

@brucedevelops Also, this is meant to be a much more stylized / cartoony than a real flamingo.

@mackenziechild toucan

@mackenziechild the opposite:

@mackenziechild with thicker edge. mainly because when we showed it to a few here the first reaction to previous was 'toucan sam' (although there is something to be said about being nostalgic to that). At least it caused a bunch of us to debate beaks for a few minutes, haha.

@mackenziechild Love #3, but with one suggestion:

Oh yeah. Speed results of larger site built on #headlesscms, @gatsbyjs incremental builds, and @shopify. Loads in under a second, each subsequent page in less than 100ms. Changes deploy in 8 seconds. More testing to do but...wow. Web design's being flipped on its head.

@WellBrained @prismicio @sanity_io @storyblok @_marcba @jh3yy @FrancescoCiull4 @sudo_overflow @catalinmpit @florinpop17 An article around inline - what we found when testing and ultimately deciding to use @sanity_io was the community, developer focus and real-time nature. GROQ is a plus, just haven't had a chance to use it yet. An article re: inline (takes a few steps) my.link/e563527

I'm really torn apart and can't decide between @prismicio @sanity_io and @storyblok I should try for my next site. All great :) Any ideas, suggestions, feedback..? (Sorry, not sorry for tag :p) @_marcba @jh3yy @FrancescoCiull4 @sudo_overflow @catalinmpit @florinpop17

@WellBrained @prismicio @sanity_io @storyblok @_marcba @jh3yy @FrancescoCiull4 @sudo_overflow @catalinmpit @florinpop17 @sanity_io for community, self-hosted studio, live-preview in Gatsby, incremental builds, real-time, GROQ, workflows, inline anything. @storyblok for visual editor(!), REST, 1TB bandwidth(!!), unlimited, inline images/text. Both have GraphQL, localization.
