a while back I made a little PWA to decide and list the evening meals for the week.

Since then I've been using a template in reminders, but it's getting a bit ridiculous.

Going to take a look at seeing how I can improve this idea today

Here’s The Architect’s Newspaper with a withering review of Joe Gebbia’s “National Design Studio”, and what it really stands for: www.archpaper.com/2025/12/nati...

As design critiques go, this is one of the best ones I’ve read in some time.

Last chance! The Design System Report survey closes tonight at midnight. ⏳

If you haven’t had a chance yet, this is your final opportunity to share your design system experience with us. The survey takes just 15–20 minutes, and your input truly makes a difference. 🤍

the only good thing about your substack is the rss feed I just found.

At the end of last week I pushed an update to ReliCSS that would create a 'report' as an .html file.

Would (if I could) a PDF be more useful?

Either / Or / Both?

I've just pushed an update to ReliCSS that now includes the option to export an HTML 'report' of the results along with some bug fixes and UI updates.
