The branding for the new Swiss eID looks gorgeous, I really dig those gradients 🌈

W is a new European platform aspiring to be an alternative to X.
What if we told you that it may actually be launching as an ATProto powered app?

I wrote up a primer on the AT Protocol designed for normal people, trying to explain why it's such a big deal, and giving tips on how to get started. Near the end I listed some ATProto apps that people can use, so please let me know if there are others I could add!

I'm currently building v2 of my personal site with @getkirby.com.
The core idea is to have a unified feed of all my content in one place.
I've now backfilled my whole Twitter archive + regularly fetch posts from Bluesky. So cool seeing everything come together.

One skill I recently created for Claude Code and quite enjoy using is called "continuous-learning".
It goes through the last n git commands and identifies learning opportunities that could be documented in CLAUDE.md or specialized files.

Agent Skills in general really are one of the best innovations of the last couple of months when it comes to coding agents.
I'm experimenting quite a lot with them these days and it's so interesting. Especially because they are essentially just .md files (with additional references, if needed).

Interesting Claude Code skill to get more polished designs. Especially handy if you don't have a fixed design ready and want to iterate.
I used to just append prompts with "Think about how Dieter Rams would approach this", but this skill is so much more comprehensive.

Affinity is free now and an all-in-one tool?
I'm a bit worried there is some sort of catch here (maybe not now but in the future) and that a one-time fee like before would have felt more reassuring.
But let's be happy while it lasts, Affinity is great :)

🎨 TIL why OKLCH is a superior color format compared to HSL (which is what I currently use most often).
In short, OKLCH supports the wider P3 color space natively and it works with perceived lightness instead of the absolute one.

CSS Color Module 4 adds oklch(), and we gain P3 wide-gamut support, boost code readability, and improve developer-designer communication.

Third places
The “third place” is the concept of a public space where you can connect with others over a shared interest. It is called that because it complements your home and your work/school. A common third place might be the local library.
