    Right, but the issue is that 99 out of 100 designers will do work for you and not get paid for it, while one will. There are some good links to thoughts about speculative work here…

    Are you sure? I came right into the comments and did a Command+F for "ADHD", as this is what I thought as well. Know that all types of ADHD aren't the same, and specifically that t…

    While I like the simplicity of this, I would recommend to keep accessibility in mind: information put into a data attribute will not be accessible to screenreaders, and they would …

    That and the landing page video — it was both cheesy, and patronizing to both musicians and their fans. And after watching it I still don't understand the "decrease price by a doll…

    Not sure how well adopted it is, but Bourbon CSS's mixin for serving Hi-DPI assets includes DPI-based media queries: @media only screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5), o…

    While this only mentions native applications, the same could be done for web apps: html {background-color:#000;} body {background-color:#fff; border-radius:6px}

    As someone who does a lot of work wireframing sites and is always trying to make the move from wires to HTML and CSS take less time, this looks great. Would love to see a fluid-wid…
