Pixels of the Week – March 29, 2026

Pixels of the Week is my weekly-ish curated newsletter for designers, UX folks, devs, and anyone building accessible, inclusive, usable (and let’s be honest, awesome) digital products. This week, we replace AI with humans and draw prompt answers, discover how AI hallucinations confuse shoppers and tourists and answer the question “can we educate accessibility overlay companies?”. Also enjoy the longest line of sight on earth, beautiful illustrations, and an adorable Ikea x Tiny Chef collab.

Now: what I’m currently up to

I’m not going to sugar coat it, it’s been another week of way too much work in a very short time frame. So, at the moment I have little time and energy to read or test tools before sharing them with you. My “articles I want to write” and “books I want to read” list is becoming giant and kind of haunting me. I hope things will be back to a more normal rhythm, after Easter.

People trust AI hallucinations and it’s becoming scary

People coming to shops with AI hallucinations is starting to become complicated. I’ve heard of support, having to deal with AI hallucinations like product features that don’t exist. Imagine working at a beauty product shop, with people who asked chatGPT to generate a full skin care routine and half of the products don’t exist.

It’s also happening in the tourist industry, for example: AI sends tourists to Tasmanian hot springs that don’t exist and Buckingham Palace Christmas market: why tourists flocked there – and found just locked gates and big puddles

Can you educate overlay companies?

I tried to educate an Accessibility overlay company from the inside (5min) . If you can’t beat them, join and educate them? This is what Chris Yoong tried: he joined an overlay company, checked the product, put together a presentation to explain why it was harming people. They could have pivoted. Instead, they decided to double down, and changed their rationale to keep the same for profit. In case you wondered: Educating accessibility overlay companies from the inside doesn’t work.

Curiosity cabinet: non-design/tech rabbit holes I enjoyed

The Longest Line Of Sight welcome to another piece of random knowledge that I find absolutely delightful. Did you know that the place on Earth from which you can, in theory, see further than any other is between an unnamed Himalayan ridge near the Indian-Chinese border and Pik Dankova in Kyrgyzstan. It is just over 530km. And it comes with a map that lets you calculate the longest line of sight at a specific location.

Inspiration: fun experiments, beautiful art, and great ideas

Barbarbarart is an illustrator based in Italy, with a bright colorful world. Also, I love the tomatoes in the shop!

IKEA x Tiny Chef Internet’s favorite little cooking chef found a new home at IKEA and it’s just deliciously cute and funny. I love it when brands take creative risks, especially those days when everything becomes AI. We need more super creative collabs like that!

Useful tools & resources

Sticky Comment a Figjam plugin that lets you export your sticky notes, with the comment threads associated into CSV, XLSLX or JSON. This is honestly quite nice when you are a consultant, you know that at some point the mission will be finished, you own the Figma project, but still want to export some version of if for the client.

NothingHere a small Mac app to hide everything that is currently on your screen (with whitelist). And yes I know, a lot of people think “if you have to hide it, it means you should not be using it”. But, there are many legit reasons where you are in a setup where you work with sensitive data that you sometimes need to quickly hide when passersby come and talk to you at your desk.
