Gatsby and GraphQL finally all clicked for me the other day. Super keen to use it on a project ⚡️

I wonder what the benefits would be if agencies gave their team members a couple hours each week to just contribute to open source?
I don't mean just to repos that they use in client work, I mean literally anything. Could even be commenting on some UI in a dribbble shot

Still rate the Instagram web UI 👌

Can anyone point me into the direction of a deep well I can yell my driving frustrations into?

Either I'm not following enough design minded people on here or the design community here is lulling.

What's everyone working on?

I'm part of a few Slacks that are for a variety of topics, but are there any front-end orientated Slacks that you'd recommend? Ones that are helpful, kind and welcoming to newcomers as well as the more experienced?

@hankchizljaw snooping on your Stars: omi js seems interesting, tried it out but got stuck on the custom element attributes coming through https://codepen.io/daviddarnes/pen/ePjPoP?editors=1010

Anyone else using Toot! app and getting issues with notifications? Just noticed that I’m getting them on my old account and not this one (.design instance) 🤔

Just stumbled onto a site that has cursor: pointer set of every element. This is upsetting

Had an impulse to buy a domain along the lines of "Accessible CSS" so showcase simple tricks, properties, values and media queries that assist in making content more accessible / user friendly.
However calling "Accessible CSS" makes it sound like the CSS itself should be accessible 🤔

My wife found my first ever job offer letter and it’s awful. If people are interested in finding out what a first time designer graduate gets offered around 10 years let me know 😬
