What's your favourite CSS selector pattern?
Mine is the lobotomised owl. * + *.
I've only used it once for a personal small project, but I was smiling for at least 10 minutes afterwards.
Slightly off topic, but my 'favourite' 'just' ever was at work when head of marketing handed me some wire frames and said: 'Can you just colour these in?' I've hated her ever since.
Does it not depend on who the article/website is aimed at?
Power users have better ways of sharing than using the sharing buttons. I use the tools baked into my RSS reader if I want to share. Most of the time, it's for Instapaper, Pinboard or Twitter, depending on what I want the article for.
Non-power users would probably never visit Solomon.io or Information Architects.
Those sharing buttons are not for you. They're for the cat-picture-sharing crowd.
On a more important note.. What's with that horizontally-flipped apostrophe in the headlines on Solomon.io?!
I don't know.. The pen tool in illustrator is the best in terms of behaviour and responsiveness, feature-wise Illustrator is the most complete, but man! I hate it.
It takes 5 minutes to start up on an old 2011 MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM, SVG export is absolutely awful and has been for years.
If you need gradient grids (or whatever the hell they call it) it's necessary, otherwise..
Man! Did I say I hate Illustrator?
I don't think full alpha support would work very well on iOS.. The Springboard would look a gods-awful mess if every icon was differently shaped. It might work if users had more control over icon placement like in Android, but, alas..
Still, I agree with you that the Android icon is nicer..
Hmmm.. Not very attractive, is it..
Mind you, I've got a (much prettier to look at) Apple Watch on loan from work, and apart from being good at telling the time, has a great weather app and makes me feel bad for not getting enough exercise, I still prefer my cheap-ish, but awesome analog Nixon watch.
Stunning stuff! Even works on my iPad mini 1! A bit tricky to control it, but it works...
Looks really good! I love the simplicity and basic functionality. The syntax is intuitive, should take no time at all to learn..
looks nice. I get horizontal scrolling in the Reeder in-app browser on your site though..

I've tried IconJar and loved it until I started using Lingo.
Not only does it sync, but you can also subscribe to icon collections which will ensure they're always up to date (so far I only subscribe to the Noun Project and Google's Material Icons).
Heartily recommended and it's free!
