- Sarah Fossheim publishes her new project website ethicaldesign.guide. "… Ethical Design Guide is made to share resources on how to create ethical products that don't cause harm."
I did a huge overhaul of my website:
- Changed the page layout to a centered text layout. It feels to me like the centering is letting the text appear more sublime, by providing balanced whitespace around it. I think it makes the reading experience more pleasant. I still didn't use
flex-boxorgridfor the layout, because collapsing margins are important to me when designing a website for mostly text – andflexandgriddon't offer that. - Changed the typeface from Georgia/Sans-Serif/Monospace to iA Writer Quattro, a four-spaced typeface (so, nearly monospace). "… It shares similarities with a proportional typeface. At the same time it retains a lot of the technical virtues of the classic typewriter fonts using wider gaps between the words and giving each letter more room that a classic, fully proportional face." The folks at iA gave most letters the same space, except: some letters like i,j,l received 50% of the normal letterspace; f, r, and t received 75%; m and w got 150%.
- Reduced the amount of information that's presented in the titles. E.g. I'm not showing subtitles anymore. The only things left are the author (if any), the date of writing, and the tagging.
