COOL STUFF


WE LEARNED


THIS MONTH


EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO
KNOW ABOUT GREEN UX
While you merrily
browse the internet
and shop online, it can be
easy to forget that your
actions take their toll on the
real world. Fortunately it
isn’t a complete lost cause.
This article takes a look at
how UX designers can
create sustainable,
accessible sites that will
contribute towards a
positive change.

NAVIGATING THE WEB
WITH A GAMEPAD
Chances are you use a
mouse, touchpad or
keyboard to make your way
around the web. But what if
you fancy something
different and have a spare
gamepad to hand? This
tutorial shows you how to
connect a gamepad to your
computer and then convert
it into an intuitive net
navigation tool.

DARK ISN’T JUST A MODE
Dark mode is
becoming an
increasingly common part of
app design and is even
making itself known in web
design. But what does it
actually mean to be in dark
mode? Why does it exist and
does the research on dark
mode justify its existence?
Steven Hoober shines a light
on the situation.

North Meets South
(@northsouthaudio).
@michaeldyrynda and
@JacobBennett‘s fortnightly
bants always have a tidbit that’s
priceless; especially from the
perspective of web development
management. @adamwathan’s
@fullstackradio is more
technical, but I always walk away
from it having learnt something.

always worth a listen :)
