Inspiration

  • Above – A nice short animation film.
  • artless Inc. – I found this fantastic blog of a branding agency showing their minimalistic art and design projects.

Stuff & Things

  • The Wisdom and/or Madness of Crowds – Funny 30 minutes game to understand group dynamics.
  • Neo Vim (VS Code Neovim) – A really good Neo Vim integration into Visual Studio Code.
  • Keybase – Secure groups, files, and chat for everyone! This is cool, free encrypted Git repositories, group chat, chat, file sharing.
  • Pass: The Standard Unix Password Manager – A terminal-based password manager. It will not replace 1Password for now, but it’s really cool.
  • HP Z27 27-inch 4K UHD Display – I got a new 4K monitor at work and it’s nice.
  • Design System Checklist – A open-source checklist to plan, build, and grow a design system.
  • Autumn – An open-source macOS window manager driven with JavaScript/TypeScript. I already played it and it’s really powerful. It comes with an embedded IDE, developer console, and built-in documentation. If I find some time, I’ll probably replace my current window manager Hammerspoon.
