I'm absolutely fascinated by this tool that lets you build wireframes using text elements, ASCII art style.
I've seen wireframes in excel, powerpoint, on paper, but this is a first. Still, it's actually quite efficient and exportable. Love it!

I baulked at the idea of ‘friction-maxxing’. But there’s more to it than meets the eye | Gaby Hinsliff Self-help hacks such as ‘cooking from scratch’ or ‘meeting your friends’ may seem ridiculous. But there’s something deeply human at the heart of this trend, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

"Your brain needs friction to learn […]"

"Friction is the name we give to rubbing up against the outside world and sometimes encountering resistance […] that this is simply what it means to love and be loved, to be engaged with society, to think and feel."

"My freedom is stronger than my fear. You are defeated the moment you stop fighting."

A Web Day Out in Brighton I'm in Brighton, and it's blowing a gale outside. The air is fresh and salty and I'm gliding back to my hotel room 50cm above ground, my mind still high on the day's vibes.

Updated my #webdayout post with a few links.

More British teenagers stranded abroad as result of new rules on dual nationals Cases emerge after other people tell of change in Home Office policy on passports that has left people scrambling

"[…] this [is] to enable a "seamless travel experience", while also giving the #ukgov "greater power to stop those who pose a threat from setting foot in the country and gives us a fuller picture of immigration."

Yes, of course #ftl #dysfunctional #bollocks

Apple introduces AirPods Max 2 Apple announced AirPods Max 2, bringing even better ANC, elevated sound quality, and intelligent features to the iconic over-ear design.

Hmm. It seems the @upgrade@mastodon.social Believe t-shirt worked better than the @atpfm@mastodon.social one… 🎧

#AppleMaps walking directions are rubbish. I tried using them in Brighton, and they failed me each time. I always knew more direct route. It's as if they follow car directions. #ftl

What a fantastic day! #WebDayOut really lived up to my expectations, not that I had any doubts. It feels soo good to reconnect in person with like minded people and friends. I’m going home recalibrated and inspired (and hopeful), gliding 50cm above ground.
