im keeping my eye Penpot. open source is great. its growing fast. reminds me of early figma, but can it be better than price?
18f.org Sad. This team set important industry standards for accessibility and design. They had a real mission. I can promise you if this is who they're cutting were in for a dark few years.
If it's true that Elon got rid of 18f, that's a huge bummer. They were a huge proponent of accessibility within government and made some really excellent experiences. They had some really interesting projects there.
I wish I could go! excited to hear from devs and publishers
Microsoft will be at GDC next month, to discuss Xbox Anywhere. “At GDC, we’re inviting game developers to go behind the scenes to better understand the significance and impact of what it means for Xbox to be on every screen” developer.microsoft.com/en-us/games/...

Newsletter: There is no AI Revolution. Consumer adoption of generative AI outside of ChatGPT is barely 100 million people, every single company in generative AI is deeply unprofitable, Microsoft is pulling capex, and OpenAI spent $9bn in 2024 to lose $5bn. www.wheresyoured.at/wheres-the-m...
im fascinated with this ongoing discussion. We have work to do for sure, but im reminded that this is no winner in a race that never ends.
