as days pass by — A (limited) defence of footnotes
https://www.kryogenix.org/days/2025/07/03/a-limited-defence-of-footnotes/

Nice and thorough. Footnotes are style and should be used, whenever you think you should use them. Design them, and do so with attention.

Hiut Denim | No Growth
https://hiutdenim.co.uk/pages/no-growth

I agree with the idea that businesses do not need to grow. Growth is the ideology of a tumor, of a parasite.

Why and How to Write Minimal and Valid HTML, a Link Guide · Jens Oliver Meiert
https://meiert.com/blog/minimal-and-valid-html/

A list of resources about minimal(ist) HTML. As with all minimalism, in a way it continues removing stuff until it is broken, and then it stops, which is one step too late. It should stop before it is broken. In this case: keep HTML readable for humans when viewing source.

Design Beyond Barriers
https://designbeyondbarriers.com/

I don’t agree with this quote, as someone who uses code as a design tool, but …

But readable type, intuitive navigation, and smart color choices start in design, not in code. Developers build the product, but we set the foundation. It’s time to own that responsibility.

… but I really like the website and I think it is a great idea for a book.

https://svgees.us/blog/hsl-bad.html

So there is no scientific proof that hsl is easier to use. But it does resemble the way human describe colours, much more than rgb.
