At least Twitter will always be here for me when I suddenly realise Final Cut Pro’s clip skimming is legit broken in Big Sur and there’s nowhere else to take my pain and nothing else for me to do now.

We also like tight negative tracking in bold Latin titles, but add letter-spacing for non-Latin scripts. We do this by baking the negative tracking into our Latin font files, and wondered if you’re doing the same? Or if you’re doing some clever style substitutions in product?

[David Owen Morgan @domrgn]

Hey @Airbnbdesign I’m impressed by your type styles adapting for non-Latin writing systems. I’d love to learn more about where you fork these in your type stack? as we’re considering approaches for improving this at Spotify.

[David Owen Morgan @domrgn]

… also your 2020. I’ve been turning the volume up a notch more on Mutable Set with each listen. More and more rewarding.

Thanks @_blakemills for this year’s escape to your 2014 #2020Wrapped https://t.co/tkjdOrgfS4

@thatpedalshow Was one of your @JoeyLandreth shows that introduced me to Heigh Ho. That record unlocked something in me this year. Thank you and keep it up! #2020Wrapped https://t.co/9mkKYXfGxI

Trying to build a personal cashflow database in @NotionHQ. Any pointers on a formula for a running balance in each line item? Table items sorted by date asc, adding their +/– values to the balance of the item preceding them?

What's the best music distributor? Was thinking @DistroKid but this video makes them look like crooks https://t.co/FFiubbFGQb

@frankrausch hey Frank, wonder if you have time for a chat about type at Spotify?

Pip's bday yesterday. Just totally contagious mind blowing joy https://t.co/4rnb5XdHDS

But svg > illustrator > create layers from sub layers > restyling those > ai > ae > create layers > create ae paths > adjusting sequence and timeline of the comp is no fun. Wonder if you have ideas for automating that?

[David Owen Morgan @domrgn]

@ioramastudio Wonder is you guys have been thinking about a script for automating looom’s svg sub layers into After Effects paths?

[David Owen Morgan @domrgn]

Adding looom frame by frame style to AE before lottie.json export could be a killer workflow for me. No better way to draw vector paths for json!

@mattiasjo @figmadesign @bartonsmith Shout out to you and @bartonsmith for being such important design community leaders here! Hard to even put myself back in the headspace from before you sniped me into the Figma trial last summer!

[David Owen Morgan @domrgn]

Turns out this exists, is called drag lock, and I am an idiot.

[David Owen Morgan @domrgn]

I started down this rabbit hole... hack for anyone with accessibility needs like me to barely lift a pinky finger in their daily work. But then wondered: does anyone else actually have this need? Let me know if I should keep going https://t.co/m6nFo1kuev

[David Owen Morgan @domrgn]

Thank you @boniver for spending 37 hours with me this year on @Spotify. You are my #1. #spotifywrapped

[David Owen Morgan @domrgn]

Glad to have J Paul back, even if it took @Drake

I hate word clouds
