β€‹β€‹β˜οΈ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:

πŸ’° Cost of living per month
πŸ–₯️ Avg. Internet speed
🌦️ Weather

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

Definitely have a look for your next freelance travelling.

For lazy ones - πŸ“Canggu in Bali has the top score!

nomadlist
The guy, who created nomadlist turned out to be quite a motivating personπŸ’Ž.

βŒ›οΈ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 πŸ’… 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 thatπŸ€·β€β™‚' 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 πŸ˜‚

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

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 πŸ‘“

PS in official android telegram client:
Settings - Theme - Dark
Plus messenger vs official Telegram client battery consumptionπŸ€·β€β™‚

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.

Found this Russian book in one of the North Korean libraries πŸ€·β€β™‚.

It called: Business for beginners. How to open an online shop from scratch

I think they are pranking themselves with this πŸ˜‚
I keep getting requests for free online dev courses. What I normally say is don't limit yourself like that and if you really want to master specific topic prepare to go through both: free and paid material.

Wrote an article to elaborate a bit on this.

Someone just told me that promoting 'informative channels' in telegram is useless and people don't need it as they only need movies, memes and porn.

Wait. What?

Do you agree with that?

You asked about personal recommendations for good quality channels that I follow myself.

The above post is from @dev_useful_stuff - a small channel that collects all the good dev stuff and share it in a very nice, short format.

The content is similar to what you saw on this channel in the beginning (well, before it somehow got mixed with a travelling blogπŸ€·β€β™‚πŸ˜‚) - the NK story is on its way, guys.

Anyways, have a look at the channel - give the guy some support for what he is doing✊.
How commenting your code can screw you over πŸ€·β€β™‚

As some say extensive comments are used to either compensate too long, unreusable code or simply stuff noone understands.

As an example to prove the point, look over the 2 code snippets, which one is easier to grasp?
