Pixels of the Week – September 23, 2016
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: CSS level 4, loaders and shapes, a lot of article about mobile (AMP, Progressive Web Apps, designing for the thumb zone, mobile error states and a list of mobile tools), the imposter syndrome, a little bit of performance and typography and a few things about accessibility (designing for autism, using button and some accessibility dos and don’t posters).
You can follow me on twitter to get a dose of links every days.
