💺 Design, Tinder own API Gateway and The ethics of reclining airplane seats

Hello there!

I spent the last two weeks working on a lil’ personal project with SvelteKit — I’m ready to say I’m a fan, it’s such a neat experience! Although it definitely takes some time to get used to the differences coming from React. 😅

There were also so many cool announcements: I personally loved the fonts Mona & Hubot Sans, Rome finally becoming stable (and posting some solid numbers!) and Solid Start!

Let’s get it on with this week!

  • Good Design “We do new designs every year for the same old things, not as an improvement, but for following the trend.”
