Pixels of the Week – July 7, 2017

This content is 7 years old. Remember that the following content might be outdated.

Every week I post a lot of my daily readings about Web, UI and UX Design, mobile design, webdesign tools  and useful resources, inspiration on twitter and other social networks.

This week’s selection: a tool to help you decide if it’s ok to work for free, UX tips, discussions on Progressive Web Apps, CSS Grid based System, Atomic Design, navigation and split buttons, date and time picker design, dropdowns alternatives on mobile, gamification, Split Screen design, designing for emotions and some fun Android color theme animations.

You can follow me on twitter to get a dose of links every days.
