DOC is an editorial platform that explores meaning in the world of design and invites digital product designers to expand their references beyond the UX bubble.

Last week, I updated my blogroll to include everyone in my RSS feed reader. While I read a lot of topical blogs and newsletters, I also follow a goodly number of interesting people I don’t know as well as acquaintances. I didn’t include these personal blogs on my blogroll before, but decided it was time to add them.

When writing in public, there is a common idea that you should make it accessible. This is a left over from mass media.

As social networks become less reliable distributors of the news, consumers of digital journalism are seeking out an older form of online real estate.

In this tutorial, we will build a small microblog that implements the ActivityPub protocol, similar to Mastodon or Misskey, using Fedify, an ActivityPub server framework.

I first got online in 1993, back when the Web had a capital letter — three, in fact — and long before irony stretched its legs and unbuttoned its flan

Personal website manifestos. I’ve been meaning to write some kind of Important Thinkpiece™ on the glory days of the early internet, but every time I sit down to do it, I find another, better piece that someone else has already written.
