“Deep Dive into Text Wrapping and Word Breaking / Coder’s Block”
“Glitch acquired by cloud service provider Fastly”
I have confessed to an anti-Glitch bias in the past (it gives me such a strong SixApart vibe) but I hope that this isn’t a prelude to an “our incredible journey” entry
“Readability: The Optimal Line Length – Articles – Baymard Institute”
“Hog Bay Software – Bike: Tool for thought”
I’d definitely try this out if I were still a macOS user.
“The Surprising Truth About Pixels and Accessibility: should I use pixels or rems?”
