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

This week’s selection: mobile modales and default browser zoom, how to align irregular icons, some pizza app/mobile site user testing, the amazing Mad Max cars, a little bit of flexbox and WordPress performant images, a nice font for coders and the evolution of the mobile phone presented in an animated SVG.
