Hello! from Rick Cogley

Listening to BSI’s “The Standards Show” today I learned about the British “Kitemark” for service excellence and others. Interesting concept of having triers adhere to multiple British or ISO standards to achieve a given Kitemark scheme. Can any Brits share their thoughts?🪁

Reading about the lovely next-gen programmer font “Monaspace” on GithubNext, also found a cool fork of it, Moralerspace, that merges in Japanese “IBM Plex Sans JP” and a nerd font. Nihongo looks good, and the “nerd” symbols mean tricky Terminal prompts will display as well. 😎

CleanShot is fantastic & featureful screenshot software for Mac, which has the basics, but also annotation, cloud storage, capture history, screen recording, OCR and more. If you share any instructional content, you’ll want to check it out.

Unlearning old, bad CSS habits and replacing them with shiny new ones, with Andy Bell’s Complete CSS course. He said it took a year to produce, and you can tell. It’s outstanding. 🤩

Do you know about CUBE CSS, a thoughtful approach to CSS and website design authored by @bell.bz? I think this approach is great because it leverages CSS’s basic nature (and doesn’t fight it), and probably, makes it a little easier to work in a cross-disciplinary team. 👏🏻

I did myself a favor and subscribed to polypane.app by Kilian Valkhof, which is just an outstanding and multifaceted tool for web dev! 🎛️
