Today: hot, hot, hot reloading, several people are typing, Framer's gon' frame, Snap makes a Spectacle of itself, and the dating scene gets even more fakeHere's this week's edition of weekend reads. Featuring Microsoft Office, 10,000-year nuclear waste markers, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Oh! Versioning members: I hope you enjoyed the PWA email I sent out earlier, get in touch with any thoughts, requests or ideas for the next subject I can tackle for ya. Lock and LoadFront-endFirst up, how one team used Figma's API to convert designs to React code [blog.figma]. Hard lessons learned when sharing code between projects [smashingmagazine]. Check out Nespero [nespero], a fluent design inspired UI kit inspired by Bootstrap. A collection of live/hot reloading tools [github/hasura]. How to replace animated gifs with video [developers.google]. Get InkedMobile/back-end /programmingHow to build a QR code-scanning app in 26 lines of JSON [medium/@gliechtenstein]. A tale of a very strange bug in WebRTC [medium/confrere]. Husky [itnext] makes adding git hooks super easy. Gojay [github/franscoispqt] is a nice little JSON encoder/decoder for Go. A pure JavaScript version of Heroes of Might and Magic 3 [homm.lekzd]. Not complete, but completely cool! How to refactor a monolith over time [blog.codeship]. A directory of sites covering iOS development [iosdevdirectory]. A little program that, when someone in a Slack channel is typing, makes it seem as if you're also typing [github/will]. I actually handle this task just fine on my own, just by being very long-winded and indecisive. Make your own games with ink [inklestudios], the programming language behind inkle games like Heaven's Vault, 80 Days and Sorcery. Calm After the StormDesign/UX/productFramer's guide to wireframing [framer]. One UI/UX designer's experiences working remotely [uxdesign]. Calm interfaces are here, thankfully [fastcodesign]. This is the first time the words 'calm' and 'interfaces' have ever appeared in the same sentence. Drop a font into Wakamai Fondue, and it'll tell you the features in the font, and provide the CSS to use them in your projects[wakamaifondue]. Trust the ProcessNews/businessLooks like Israeli-based firm Cellebrite can unlock any iPhone, maybe via a brute-force attack [nymag]. Probably worth opting for a longer password so they'll have to wait until the heat death of the universe to access photos of your cat (that's all that's on my phone, at least). Something weird's going on with the repeal of net neutrality, which was supposed to happen this week. The FCC hasn't formally posted the appeal though, which seems strange given how keen they were on it a short while ago [motherboard.vice]. An alarming look at the incel ("involuntary celibate") community - misogynistic men who want to (and sometimes do) kill women for perceived rejection and unfairness [theverge]. Neural networks are creating abstract art now [medium/artists-and-machine-intelligence]. Great! Snapchat's launched a new version of its Spectacles glasses [spectacles]. You can take circular photos and video with them, and they'll work fine if you have a glasses prescription, like I do. I also have glasses though, sooooo… Stack Overflow wants to be more welcoming to newcomers, an overview of the issues facing the community, and ideas for improvements [stackoverflow.blog]. Google's got a new podcast strategy that could be a big deal: it lets you play an episode from the search results, play via Google Assistant, stuff like that [blog.pacific-content]. You Look Nothing Like Your PhotoEverything else (apps, fun tools, gaming, culture, funny stuff)Dating is kinda awful. So awful, in fact, that people are paying others to impersonate them on dating apps [qz]. This review of the Nintendo Labo's music making abilities finds it has actual potential for musicians [factmag]. And here's some of the coolest stuff produced with Labo in its first week of release [digg]. This Twitter bot will save your bad tweets to the blockchain forever [motherboard.vice]. And if you like feeling very small and insignificant, and who doesn't!? Check out this video produced from the data from 1.7 billion stars [motherboard.vice]. Finally, and on a similar tip, a Twitter user stacked some images sourced from NASA's Rosetta spacecraft, showing a view from a comet [petapixel]. That's Friday's edition for ya, I hope you found something useful, and that you don't feel too insignificant. Get your Spectacles on for next week, there's a lot more linkage to come!
