Curious since you're sharing a lot of the work involved in reviving Pebble - would you happen to know what's the hardest part of making it available in other markets, like India?
Here's an example page that looks good but succumbs to the same issues as most other scroll-based animation pages:

My #uiux hot take is that scroll-triggered animation is mostly garbage on desktop.
You often have to rewind your scroll because you missed reading some text, or awkardly finish scrolling down just to see the last few frames of an animation.
It doesn't make sense to port that over from mobile.
πΈ I should shoot with my camera more often
π± My phone is fine for the odd picture, but if I'm going someplace worth shooting, I should just carry my camera, the added bulk is justified
βToday's phone cameras can be great - I just don't want to buy a camera-first phone like the Vivo X200 Ultra

I only took a handful of photos with my mirrorless camera on a recent trip to Vietnam, and I now regret not shooting more with it.
These examples aren't great photos in terms of composition, but the results are far more colour accurate and detailed than anything my phone can capture.
Beyond citizens feeling warned by this, are governments taking notice and thinking about the future of productivity, social welfare, and universal basic income?

Really enjoying particle.news to get my daily headlines from across media outlets and topics.
You get links to various articles covering the same story, as well as quotes and big questions.
Works best on iOS, but the desktop site is solid too.
I find it pretty nuts that my 2021 Asus gaming laptop can run stunning titles like Horizon Forbidden West at 1440p - looks great on a 32-inch monitor.
Props to great art styles, game optimisation, and PC hardware (Ryzen 9 + RTX 3060) that hold up years after release.
This 2-minute read resonated with me - and I believe it extends to disciplines beyond design:

No hate, but...
Considering how often Slack asks me to update its Windows desktop app, I wonder why it doesn't simply auto-update. Is there a technical/best practice sorta reason behind having me update manually?
Especially when there no new features/major fixes announced.
Always wondered why 'Sport' was part of the brand name of an indulgent chocolate bar.
TIL 'Ritter's Sport Schokolade' was launched in 1932 after co-founder Clara Ritter suggested creating a bar that would fit into any sport jacket pocket without breaking but weighed the same as a normal bar.

Pebble's industrial design was always off the charts. This STILL looks so good.
1) 43mm Ratio Quest field watch
Lume, 100m WR, anti-reflective Sapphire glass, Seiko quartz movement, engraved case back. It's also got a titanium case, which should be corrosion resistant and light.

I've been shopping rather obsessively for #watches on a sub-10K INR/$100 budget lately. Here's what I'm looking at:
streaming music services should never have been this cheap.
it's absurd that I pay so little (Rs. 129 for YouTube Premium in India) for unfettered access to virtually every song ever recorded.
It's even more absurd that artists get such a raw deal today.
