Playdate’s Design Guide is a pretty nice read, even if you’re not interested in developing games for it.

I wish more systems (including design systems!) included docs like this.

help.play.date/developer/de...

Designing for Playdate - Playdate Help

Advice on making your game accessible, pleasant to use, and at home on Playdate—from the UI to performance, and more.

I just read this on the docs for a documentation framework:

“a new type earns existence only when no existing recipe’s contract fits without breaking it”

Now with a visualiser for design tokens stored on a PDS:

Someone has recreated Lemmings in PICO-8, and made it available for download for *free*, not only for PICO-8 but also for Mac, Linux, and Windows.

I know what I’ll be doing today:

This app and website combination feels like the future of reading … and design.

Very crude proof of concept online at ale.today/atprotokens/

If you’ve read the Bun rewrite blog post (and you should because it’s fascinating from a tech perspective), you should 100% read this reply from Zig’s lead developer: andrewkelley.me/post/my-thou...

Same. I love how well @danabra.mov explains the concepts there (everything clicked for me reading that post!), and wish he’d write a version for a less technical audience 🙏

Yup, we were discussing this over at discourse.atprotocol.community/t/theming-at...

These are stored on my PDS, which is Eurosky. But you can save them on Bluesky, or anywhere else (including your own self-hosted PDS) atproto.at/uri/at://did...

To be honest, it’s fun 😅

But more seriously: data stored in the PDS is open, public, and truly platform agnostic. You can read it from anywhere, and can build different tooling that reads from the same place.

Think of it like a database, but decoupled from any service or platform.

Why I like it:

- uses Markdown for your CV
- generates nice, clean, simple PDFs by default
- works entirely online, so I can tweak stuff from my phone
- keeps a history of changes (both in Markdown *and* in PDF)
- it was really fun to build 😅

If you’re looking for a job, you’ve probably found yourself looking for something that outputs nice PDFs of your CV.

I did, so I made this small tool that I’m enjoying very much. I hope you like it and it helps you land your dream job: github.com/bomberstudio...

Even better, you can play on the web too, so it’ll work on your phone and tablet:

This was pretty enjoyable to read, thanks for sharing!

I’m definitely sending the link to my (dev) friends who say “I’m not a designer” 😊

Today’s plan: listen to @choan.es’s latest album on rotation because it’s beautiful and soothing.

You can do the same (which I definitely recommend doing) and buy the album at: choan.bandcamp.com/album/dream-...

No sabes cómo empatizo con todo esto.

De un compañero de curro aprendí hace años mi frase favorita sobre este tema, que he usado mucho desde entonces:

“Lo siento, no hablo fútbol”

Cada día, gracias a $deity, me hace menos falta.
