I backed this pen Kickstarter despite breaking my rule of no hardware Kickstarters - the company, Antou, seem to know what they're doing but we'll see. They have a lot of nice stuff on their site including this pen rest. The pen should be arriving in August some time. Pica is a new font management app that looks great and it's free. I need to get a handle on all the fonts I have. I'm not a font designer but if I was I might need to make proofs and Hellbox is the one. Two fascinating fonts I came across: Datatype is a "variable font that turns text into charts" and then this person built a chess rendering engine into a font which is wild. Matt did a handwriting font, something I've done a couple of times to varying levels of success. The last font and writing link is this post about backtrack-free cursive. I don't write cursive (or in lowercase for that matter) but this is really interesting. What intrigued me about files.md is that it uses an API I wasn't aware of to access local folders and files. I'm not dropping Obsidian any time soon but this is an API I want to try out more. Friend of the blog made equinox to test light and dark mode at the same time which is handy. I'd come across but not heard of the XY problem before: "asking about your attempted solution rather than your actual problem". Nice to have a name for this scenario. P4LETTE is another colour palette generator. Can't have too many. Daily games is a thing now and I've been enjoying 4x3. I also found Gerrymandle which is interesting but doesn't spark joy for me. Signalbox, a live train map, does spark joy though. Finally this is a fun article about using public domain image archive for art ideas.
