Five links for your inbox from this week.
1. Grace
Privacy-respecting parental control on iPhone.
2. Hipstamatic
“Take a trip down memory lane with Hipstamatic, the camera app that brings back the golden age of mobile photography. Join a community of like-minded creators. No ads, no AI, no algorithms, just pure creativity from you and your friends.”
Is this the Instagram replacement the world has been waiting for?
3. Microsoft lays off team that taught employees how to make AI tools responsibly
A healthy reminder that ethics are rarely a priority in the world of big tech, whatever their public position. What could possibly go wrong.
4. Stock photos of people with disabilities
A useful collection of stock photo resources.
5. Zed
“Zed efficiently leverages every CPU core and your GPU to start instantly, load files in a blink, and respond to your keystrokes on the next display refresh. Unrelenting performance keeps you in the flow and makes other tools feel slow.”
Projects + other things
-
I’m now offering Power Hours, a simple, low-risk way to get an outside perspective on your website.
-
I recently revoked my 1% For The Planet membership. I’m continuing to donate 1% of my business’ turnover, but this will now be split between projects that take action against climate change and organisations that fight muscular dystrophy.
-
I’m currently booking projects from May onwards. Get in touch if there’s a project you would like to discuss.
-
My Unoffice Hours are available every other Wednesday. Next slot: 3rd May.
