@paddlelogger I owe you an apology! I just gave feedback in your survey about the lack of strava integration…only to see you added it in July! Excellent news. Will be giving the app another go.

@Xero Why is it that, despite folks asking for the last 3 years or more, we still can't sort expense claims by date? This is, hands down, my biggest frustration with the platform, and one that would, seem to be at least, such a ridiculously simple fix.

Ooh. Rather excited about version 13 of the https://t.co/rrXU4JCevO Prototyping kit, coming soon. Thanks for the demo @joelanman! #DSDay22

Day 2 of Design System Day 2022 #DSDay22 Some great workshops and breakout sessions in the itinerary today. Particularly looking forward to the accessibility panel discussion later #govdesign

"Alphabetic is not the only sorting method available" - 'LATCH' methodology @cjforms @calvin_lau #DSDay22

Today is the start of Design System Day 2022! For the next 2 days we’re gathering as a community to learn and share information about design systems that make the best public services. #DSDay22

[Douglas Maitland @DougieDM]

Also, my first experience with “Zoom events”. I like it. #DSDay22

[Douglas Maitland @DougieDM]

Excited for the great programme of events for #DSDay22 led by the team at @govdesignsystem and @gdsteam and kicked off by @amy_hupe

[Douglas Maitland @DougieDM]

@joelanman For me it’s the relaxed pace. I have time to think and plan. And then the feeling of building/developing something. It’s rewarding.

The list of MPs who voted against an amendment to the Environment Bill that would prevent water companies from discharging untreated raw sewage into our waterways. Just a friendly reminder that this is a democracy and you can do something about it.

There is a whole generation of people out there who aren’t thinking about how great their karate is going to be once they finish painting their fence 🥋

[Richard Morton (he/him) @accessibleweb]

This is what can happen when you think that complying with accessibility regulations and standards is enough. Compliance does not equal accessibility. Roadworks mean no dropped kerb, so a temporary ramp is put down but in a useless way. #AccessibilityRegulations #A11y

[Douglas Maitland @DougieDM]

Exciting, constructive and enjoyable collaboration between @cogworx and civil servants @UKEF. More of this please!

@F1 You put "Crowdstrike" on the side of a Safety car?? 🙈

[Douglas Maitland @DougieDM]

Big thank you to Will @supboardermag who gave me some expert buying advice for my new Stand-up Paddle Board (SUP). I used the ‘Ask the experts’ feature through their PRO subscription. Went with a @starboardsup Touring M 14’x30”. Looking forward to many adventures with it. #sup

Ah Dame Emma. Tonic for the soul. https://t.co/Mwifv4F27X

Quite excited about the benefits of this for users. I certainly get frustrated by the disjointed nature of government services. This feels like a step in the right direction. https://t.co/1Wza0ushuw #govdesign

[Douglas Maitland @DougieDM]

Properly gutted about this ��

I love @sketch but Sketch for Teams is a huge disappointment. Thought you'd be able to have teams collaborate on a design file. You can't. Have gone back to the excellent @Plantappio to meet this need and still use @InVisionApp for the developer/stakeholder collaboration.
