I’ve always enjoyed Jonnies case studies of how he engineers sometimes very intiricate animations and transitions. That’s some top notch design engineering right there.

Another thing I very much enjoy: case studies of somewhat obscure or niche UI design problems. Like this one from Lea Verou on how to capture sentiment while keeping your data structured.

I’ve had Jon Hicks’s post about how his perfect music app does not exist in my post queue for so long that he meanwhile went and built it. Which makes me think, should I?

Last week, I read a story about how Waymo (self-driving taxi service) is partnering with Door Dash (food delivery service).
And it surprised me. I was genuinely shocked. I couldn’t believe it. Because when I first read the headline, I thought it must be about putting food in a car and driving it off to the recipient. Which would have been stupid enough. But the reality was much stupider. Waymo is paying Dashers to close the Waymo car doors that passengers leave open.
