This is just for fun. My coworker introduced it to me yesterday. A great practice for anyone that toys with the frontend, and a good opportunity to showoff for experienced typography nerds. Move the letters left and right to properly kern each round. And of course share your score 🙂
Issue #456 “One of the marvelous things about community is that it enables us to welcome and help people in a way we couldn’t as individuals.” — Jean Vanier, Community And Growth Howdy! Thinking about WordPress history lately in terms of business and product acquisitions, key investments and hires … it says A LOT about…
If you’re a developer, then i highly recommend reading this “Cult of the Complex” post from Jeffrey Zeldman on A List Apart. Zeldman covers the trend in the tech industry to make things (such as front end development) far more complicated than it needs to be: “The question for web designers should never be how…
Mel Choyce explains how to design a Gutenberg block for restaurant menus. Mel provides a Sketch file, and if you want to use the design to build a restaurant block, give Mel credit and a link in your plugin readme.txt.

I did this the first time yesterday and got a 74, but that’s with a zero on the first test because I messed up the controls 🙂 88 this time. Did pretty well throughout, but 40 something on Toronto. Ouch!

Right up my type nerd alley.
