Week Notes №1 ending 24 May 2019

I think it’s valuable to collect my thoughts as sort of a personal brain log, so as each work week progresses I’ll collect notes and publish them at the end of the week. This is the first installment of that series.

• Jeremy Keith and I are starting a crime-fighting duo, per this picture by Juliana Schütz taken at Beyond Tellerrand.
• New blog post: The Co-opetition of Team Web

Web Fonts

• Google Fonts not only added font-display support but are encouraging usage by including display=swap in the default code you can copy and paste on their site. Updated my blog post at Google Fonts is Adding font-display to reflect this. (via Houssein Djirdeh)
• New blog post: font-display is Incompatible with Icon Fonts

Eleventy

• Added a new GitHub ❤️ Sponsor button to the top of the Eleventy repo. It simply links to our Open Collective page.
• Eleventy’s mascot, Edison the Static-Generating Possum, turns one year old this week! (via Kenneth Luplau-Brøgger)
• Awesome Eleventy launches:
  • The Chrome Developers site at web.dev 🤯
  • Surma’s personal blog at dassur.ma
  • Eyestein’s personal site at eystein.no
  • Have another? Pass it along!

AMP

The bar indicating you’re viewing an @AMPhtml page—and the only visible cue you’re not on the original, real page—seems to be getting progressively smaller, and harder to use.—Ethan Marcotte

The AMP toolbar is shrinking, further damaging the integrity of the URL.

Terence Eden, member of the AMP Advisory Committee posted a scathing review of AMP on his blog. (via Brian Suda)

Burnout

“I only really feel burnout from lack of alignment with goals. So if I work on a project of my own, I recharge because my values are honored.”—Sarah Drasner

Wow—I’ve never seen burnout framed like this but it reverberated through my bones.

.io Domains

Tatiana Mac retweeted an article into my timeline about the problematic use of .io domains.

I made a public pledge to migrate 11ty.io to 11ty.dev after reading this.
