last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far
i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

Since you can’t hire Paravel anymore, I can wholeheartedly recommend that you hire Set Studio to unfuck your website and get your apps on a good user-centered path with incredible, world-class design.
A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020.
It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too 💛

Adults: it suck’s how binary everything is these days. Everybody is Team A or Team B and no earnest discussion happens.
Roblox: You have 10 seconds to pick a candy and then you’re given a rolling pin to beat everyone who picked the other candy to death.

So, if you’re in a position where you’re able to do so, help me make sure JavaScript for Everyone lives up to its name by paying a little more for it.

Creating a universal app store for PWAs seems like an obvious win here vs. heuristics triggered installs. But think about smaller, more bespoke app stores! An app store for your intranet apps. An app store for your webring of online mutuals. An app store for kid-friendly apps. That's fun territory.
On the Edge team, we think web apps should be easier to install.
The default browser install button is great, but we'd like something which you can use on your own site, how and when you want it.
That's why we're proposing the Web Install API, which you can now test!
