Ever thought that Augmented and Virtual realities are cool?

Great article on building AR/VR with HTML and JS 🔥

Off to North Korea for 10 days ✈️
There is 99.9% probability that there will be no posts during this time

Look through what you've skipped last time, there will be more cool stuff when I'm back✊🔥

Got back from North Korea (safely☝️). God, tell me about digital detox now😂. No internet, phone, limited information inflow.

The posts will be back in usual schedule from now on.

Some of you asked me about traveling to NK - its massively unrelated to this channel's content, but if anyone is interested in a few humble, subjective words about my experience vote for 🇰🇵 and I'll tell you a bit about it.

​​☝️To add a bit on the above.

Personally, I think you can and should make with typography great things. The best is when it contains a part or the whole logo. Companies like Facebook or Uber got it ages ago and it makes them easily distinguishable.

Get some inspiration from logopaul

​​​​Found a nice startup that has a huge database of places in the world, where you can live and travel to.

Was looking for quite some time for a similar service.

Build nicely and is quite fast, considering the amount of data it analyzes.

Best part is that its in a very well designed format, it gives me the basic things I need to know about the place:

💰 Cost of living per month
🖥️ Avg. Internet speed
🌦️ Weather

Plus give you statistics such as crime rate, fun rate, taxes, medicine, quality of life, traffic, tollerance, startup score (💡), WiFi in cities and a bunch of things I won't even mention👍

Definitely have a look for your next freelance travelling.

For lazy ones - 📍Canggu in Bali has the top score!

nomadlist

The guy, who created nomadlist turned out to be quite a motivating person💎.

⌛️When you have a spare hour have a look at his speech on Turning side projects into startups.

In short, when he was going broke he decided to jump on a marathon 12 startups in 12 months. And while most of them didn't succeed, it got a lot of attention and some of them like nomadlist and remoteok got him to $600k a year.

His recipe is quite frankly links to the concept of MVP (build as fast as possible something that can work to see if there is traction) and also he points out the fact that 90% of people won't do it even though they say they want it, which I agree with.

Only hard work and ability to stand up after failures and try again✊.

​​Those who skipped this nice service from the previous selection that I shared.

Picular.co - Google for colors. Next time you need all the shades of 🍺 or 🍸 give it a shot.

And yep, that's a PWA.

Framer X is out!

All your tempting 💅 design aspirations can be challenged now.

They offer 2 weeks demo version or 3 months off a yearly plan.

If anyone is also planning to give it a go, send me a note - we can create a chat to share our experiences 🤝.

PS for those who are feeling 'wtf is that🤷‍♂' its a tool to design web/mobile interfaces - possible competitor to Sketch, Figma and Adobe XD

users vs channels split is something I am really waiting official telegram client to launch.

Time for some good stuff.

If you are like me and waiting for official telegram client to add group/users/channels split - then read below.

When you start using telegram a bit more often, you typically find yourself burdened with dozens of channels that will push to you all their 'crucially important content' just like @thefrontend does 😂

Just after you finally realise to mute all your channels, you might also consider trying a better telegram client 🤔.

By better I mean having such a basic, but important split, where all channels are separated from your friends.

For Android users thats a Plus Messenger - gave it a go for a few days, it is actually a great alternative + turned out to be more battery efficient. It has a few other perks, but those are cosmetic changes.

Oh yes, and its also fully customisable.

Apple fans can check out - Teleplus, you'll have to Google it as I don't have 🍎

Talking about customisation, please go for dark theme - it looks so much better and might even help your eyesight 👓

PS in official android telegram client:
Settings - Theme - Dark

Plus messenger vs official Telegram client battery consumption🤷‍♂

Not sure if that's intended, but the numbers talk for themselves.

Phone: Pixel, Android Pie

Interesting fact. Try to guess if its more or less than Boeing 787 avionics + its online system?

Critical thinking in software development

Have you ever heard this:
Good code should always be DRY (Don't repeat yourself)

But when you hear such argument, does your opponent considers you unique scenario?

Found a great article for you that proves that this is not always the case and describes other typical misconseptions and stereotypes in software development.
