Another fantastic essay from Sam Rose. His ability to explain complex computer science topics with highly interactive essays is great.

I published this around Figma config last year and it’s probably even more relevant now. It’s increasingly becoming a tool of low quality slop when you want to go further than pictures of websites/apps. You can do better with learning skills that will outlive any design/builder tool.

This is a masterpiece. The 3D models, the motion blur and the Raccoon. Great stuff.

A live coding platform for making music. Such a cool concept.

I’m a real pedant for this stuff so I’m glad Emil has done a great job of articulating what makes an animation great.
