Hello Friend 👋
Here are Seven Things I was curious about this week:
Design: The fight of dark vs. light mode rages on. While the preliminary results of my polls on Linkedin and Twitter contradict each other, an in-depth analysis on the topic conducted by Salesforce shines a light on why that may be the case.
Design: Speed up and improve design work with designresourc.es, which hosts links to everything from tools and icon libraries to jobs boards and accessibility resources.
Data visualisation: Keep doughnuts for breakfast and avoid these seven data visualisation sins.
Startup: When faced with too many problems to solve, nothing focuses the mind more than some good old prioritisation and refinement. In the latest episode of Product Nuggets, we'll use a simple prioritisation technique and the Lean Business Canvas to move our project from a range of problems, towards a focused product business.
Startup and VC: How young companies can break free from the “unicorn or bust”-culture.
Tech: “Research & Development at The New York Times explores how emerging technologies can be applied in service of journalism.” Some impressive case studies range from scanning environments in 3d and capturing motions of athletes, to curbing the spread of misinformation and more.
Diversity in Tech: I joined the Intrapreneurs Club as a Council Member and mentor, an inspirational charity looking to increase diversity in tech by breaking down social silos. If this is an area you’re interested in and you’d like to get involved, get in touch!
