I know it is more niche to the online/websites POV, but “Don’t Make Me Think” is a book that needs to be somewhere in the lines of “The Design of Everyday Things.” Of course, I re-read the latter as reminders and catch-up readings.

I like how the author correctly shown the cover image for the "The Sciences of the Artificial", with plural 's' in 'sciences', but then in the paragraph praising it gleefully ignored it.

Probably means this article wasn't written by AI!

Ha ha, I love even the cover photo of “The Design of Everyday Things.”

Noted couple of books. I've been curating (mostly design) books on a digital library: https://links.1984.design/books

This isn't really a tasteful collection. It is just a bunch of popular books, all of which that I have read being about minimalism.

If that's what you want you can just use Apple as a case study because that's what you end up getting if you want "modern" and minimal. Even just drop the CSS file from source into an LLM and go through how it is implemented.
