Thanks, @figmadesign 🥰.
Next up is @andrewcouldwell's "Laying the Foundations", another great primer on design systems—in particular I love some of the thoughtful content on approaches to roll-out and not perfecting things too early.

So I designed and built a simple, content-driven one-page website. The design is super minimal, so the experience needed to be more captivating. So I added a subtle delayed scroll, animated load of content, and changing colours as you scroll.

This new website needs to simply communicate what I do, why I'm qualified to do it, how I can help, and share some basic examples of my work.

My other site ( is fun and does a good job of promoting the web design & development I want to do. But it isn't good for promoting the more 'serious' side of my work; consulting, product, and system design, where I'm targeting a very different audience.

Actually, this is my second website, in addition to a portfolio website. But why do I have two websites? Read on. .

This is my favourite thread on Twitter. It's amazing how bad our industry STILL is at both responsive design and the mobile web! 😬🤦♂️.

@andrewcouldwell @owltastic Man I just finished this book and it opened totally new horizons and ideas how to systemize my own development process and how to create better #designsystems for our clients. Highly recommend for any UI designer and Web developer👌.

So for anyone who finds this tweet and is looking for a potential fix. The power at my house cutout, forcing my Pixel Stand to reboot. When it did, the Photo Frame starting working again! 🤷♂️ Don't you just hate it when that happens 🤦♂️

Anyone here using the @Google Pixel Stand? Photo Frame is one of it's best features, which worked the first few times I used it, then just stopped working. No settings changed, updates, nothing. Searching online, it seems like a common fault with no fix! 😞 Anyone found a fix?.
