Normally all remote(ish), Viget's entire 16 dev team is in-person this week for a few days (hence the later-than-normal 17 newsletter 😅). 18 19 It's very easy as a remote worker to feel isolated — remote communication tends 20 to be much more focused, leaving less space for the type of connection-building 21 edges and spaces of an in-person conversation. 22 23 Hence Viget's [4]practice of TTT's and Offsites. I'm thankful for this — it's 24 not a simple or cheap thing to organize! But it absolutely strengthens team 25 connection and unity! 26 27 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 28 29 Interesting Web Bits 🍿 30 31 Web Stuff 32 33 • Chris Coyier walks us through the [5]power of shape(). 34 • Scott Jehl gives us a nice [6]self-destructing fade-in technique. Which is 35 fantastic to ensure elements that fade in WILL be readable. 36 • Daria Nevezhyna shows us some [7]more complex use cases for Rive. 37 • Looking for a new colorscheme? If you're not already using [8]one of the 38 best ones, may I interest you in some [9]Root Loops? (Also, checkout 39 'expert mode') 🥣 40 • While we're talking about colorshemes, Nikita Prokopov has some [10] 41 opinions on syntax highlighting. I think I've had bright colors for so long 42 I don't see the issue in his 'problematic' examples... 🤷 43 • Watch this [11]voxel creature mutation/evolution simulation. My money's on 44 the aggressive cube-folk! 45 • Evan Hahn shares some of his [12]custom scripts. 46 47 Other Stuff 48 49 • I guess they're putting [13]Steve Jobs on a coin? 🤷 50 51 Watch and Play 52 53 • 📺 A tiny peek into an [14]iconic NYC rubber stamp shop. 54 • 🎮 [15]Gem Getter Pro is a lovingly-made roll-and-write with STELLAR web 55 implementation. I've been hooked on this recently! 💎⛏️ 56 57 Don't miss what's next.
