I agree! I remember that we used to joke that at last we didn't need designers to do designs anymore. Colored rectangles were enough for everything! Which I think was the reason that Microsoft did it that way and Apple tried to resist

In past instances similar to this one, when Heroku wasn't acknowledging or giving any details it was a case of DDoS. It makes sense to stay quiet to avoid other potential attackers to pile in. Maybe they have found an AWS endpoint that

Working in a SaaS, I'm always surprised by these companies giving two months notice before shutting down services that are powering pretty significant websites. This move is going to cost companies using Gatsby Cloud a lot, especially

Yes, that's what concerns me. Since it's not really clear what's going on, how can we trust a third party service by uploading personal data?

I was thinking to a 3D representation of a library or a zoomable interface. It could leverage our good spacial memory while also allowing accidental discovery of books

Sure you lose track, but it's so much easier with physical things to bump into already seen items and recognize them. Or also casually being interested by a cover or by the size of the books. I feel like there could be a better way to

I'm very interested in visual ways to explore ebooks, papers, articles. A physical library helps discovering new stuff or occasionally bumping in something. With files you need to be much more deliberate and I feel like you can accumul

I don't like the idea that tech comes first and people last. That is often the case when the automation is simply meant to replace inefficient humans, without really thinking to the consequences. I'm of course pro-automation as I
