My first foray into human flight was when I was six years old. I fell like a rock from the tippy-top of the playground, but my head stayed in the clouds.

Years ago, @erikdkennedy wrote an awesome piece on using color in UI Design (https://t.co/xJCtO9Ux7e) and inspired me to build mixins for handling monochromes. I've since created Huey, a two-dimensional palette generator for UI designers. https://t.co/AL2uP9itWz

@johannes_ux @erikdkennedy Yes, it uses a color picker input—though it might not be the best experience on mobile 😅

@theMosaad @erikdkennedy Thank you! Huey's earliest iterations stayed at 10% for years, too. Stick with it 💪😤

[Zak Erving @zakerving]

Thanks for using Huey! I'm always improving it, so feel free to make requests 😀

@kikiding @mathdroid @arwasil I'm actually using this right now! It generates color names, as well as CSS/SCSS variables, and Tailwind configs too. https://t.co/Wk0CB3WBB0

@levelsio @ckomagan I’m American, but I’ve even got a raised eyebrow or two and a half-assed “welcome home.” Meanwhile I’m sweating bullets for my Singaporean gf still waiting in the other line. She’s had similar experiences as you.

@scott_riley If you wrote an entire book that was just two lines of dialogue, and the second line was a 60,000 word hyper-specific insult towards the speaker of the first, I’d buy it in a heartbeat. Then I’d buy it every time a friend had a birthday and send it to them. 😂

And just when I was doing some planning for Bastille Day this year 😅 What timing!

@gulpjs I still remember when I was first getting into JavaScript and using @gulpjs for the first time. As a novice, it blew me away that something so powerful had such a simple, legible syntax. Meanwhile, I’m more advanced these days, and when/if I use another bundler I just hope & pray

@AndrewCrow Get a reeeeeeeeally long HDMI cable. Bam. Couch-deeeeeeesk!

Just got a marketing email from @AmazonKDP and both images used feature book covers I worked on ~6 years ago 😅

@brad_frost Played thru Abzü with my girlfriend on a slow morning. Beautiful experience :)

@webalys are Ego icons available for purchase? Everywhere I look for them I'm rerouted to Streamline, and I already have that :P

[Zak Erving @zakerving]

@ZacharyZorbas realized after our chat that I didn't have your email 😅 Here's the side project I've been working on: https://t.co/l9Z2fhKCxv

@ErikCH Thanks for the intro on socket-io! Your walkthru was the first one where the concepts really sunk in :)

[Zak Erving @zakerving]

@ChadZaugg @seanwes Do you at all feel that once you get going it's a little easier bc of your accumulated experience & knowledge?

[Zak Erving @zakerving]

@brad_frost Please tell me no one actually uses "Devigner" as a job title.

Obviously "Deseloper" is where it's at.

EVERYTHING IS FINE NOBODY PANIC

@jrsinclair I'm really enjoying your posts on JS .reduce() methods. I don't suppose you do code reviews/consulting for hire?

@candicewalsh Remember driving through that snowstorm with @SeattlesTravels and @LostBoyMemoirs?? What was that, like late May?
