Well, I can tell you I've been reading a lot more books now. Ones published before the 2020s, or if recent, written by authors who were well established before then.
Physical books are amazing technology.

Thanks, good catch. Bumped the contrast on both already - it's live now.
Much better now. Glad I could help.

Looks good. I think the website could use higher contrast. Changing the values of --text-dim and --text-muted would help a lot.
I have been working on a Monte Carlo financial planning / retirement scenario simulation with a TUI interface.
All written in rust. The simulation engine has been solid for a while and the TUI is finally starting to expose all of the options needed to really configure a complete simulation.
Nice looking TUI!
I always wanted a minimalistic CSS framework for my projects, so I started to create my own: THINK
THINK is a modern CSS-first UI framework built on semantic HTML, custom elements, and data attributes. Uses :has(), container queries, and density scaling. No classes, no build step.
It‘s work in progress but I‘m pretty happy with the outcome so far, especially the data table component and automated Insights. I know it‘s not AI driven - but it works pretty okay for quick insights on the loaded data.
Looks nice! Semantic HTML is such a relief if you've ever encountered a div hell.

Definitely. And it’s hard to separate out whether the person is actually more productive or feels more productive.
Yes, this (higher perceived vs. lower actual productivity) was probably at least true for early 2025.

one thing i dislike about "good design" in general is that it usually takes away from information density and practical convenience in order to achieve "good design". this feels like a bad tradeoff. i wish that designers cared about making things more accessible and delightful rather than impressing fellow designers.
Agree. Info-dense designs are also more difficult to implement and many designers lack experience in this area. E.g., creating a coherent design system that uses borders instead of excessive padding to separate elements is much more difficult than it may seem.
React:
import { useState } from "react";
function Counter() { const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
return (
<button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
Count: {count}
</button>
);---------- Svelte:
<script> let count = 0; </script>
<button on:click={() => count += 1}> Count: {count} </button> --------------- React: function Editor({ initialText }) { const [text, setText] = useState(initialText);
useEffect(() => {
setText(initialText);
}, [initialText]);
return (
<textarea
value={text}
onChange={e => setText(e.target.value)}
/>
);<script> export let initialText; let text = initialText;
$: text = initialText;<textarea bind:value={text} />
Seeing Svelte 3/4 code always warms my heart. The ergonomics of `$:` are amazing.
Love the matrix UI with the minimap!
Thank you, I appreciate it! I'm also planning to add a graph visualization of the correlation matrix.
Thinking of new ways to visualize market data in 3D like this helical candlestick chart:
