      <description><![CDATA[<p>Trying out a new format with these link bundles, in the hope that dropping the bulleted list format is a) more flexible and b) more conducive to writing a bit more about the links, rather than limiting myself to a single line with an awkward semicolon shoved in if I need more room.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2021/02/things-you-can-do-with-css-today/">Andy Bell on recent/upcoming CSS changes</a>. Good stuff here. I’m probably most looking forward to using <code>:is</code> and <code>clamp()</code> and <code>ch</code> (all of which I’d read about before but had mostly forgotten). Oh, and <code>scroll-margin-top</code>.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.designbetter.co/design-engineering-handbook"><em>Design Engineering Handbook</em> by Natalya Shelburne et al.</a>, a free ebook which looks interesting. (I’ve read part of the first chapter so far.) Design Better (which appears to be an InVision thing) has <a href="https://www.designbetter.co/books">other free books</a> available as well, on various design-related topics.</p>
<p><a href="https://maxkoehler.com/posts/continuous-typography/">Max Koehler on continuous typography</a>. Also see his <a href="https://maxkoehler.com/work/continuous-type-tester/">post about the tool</a> and <a href="https://awesomephant.github.io/continuous-typography/">the tool itself</a>. This is great, and I hope these ideas get broader traction. (Also, I’m excited to start using Source Serif 4 and its optical sizing axis.)</p>
<p><a href="https://matklad.github.io/2021/02/06/ARCHITECTURE.md.html">Aleksey Kladov on including an ARCHITECTURE.md file</a>. Great idea. Having a high-level overview is so helpful.</p>
<p><a href="https://graydon2.dreamwidth.org/193447.html">Graydon Hoare on always betting on text</a>. I’ve probably linked to this before, but it’s good and worth rereading occasionally.</p><hr class="feed-extra" style="margin-top: 48pt;" /><p class="feed-extra feed-mail"><a href="mailto:ben.crowder@gmail.com?subject=Re%3A%20Links #37">Reply via email</a></p>]]></description>
