Digest #10 — Community links and who’s hiring
Hey we made it to issue #10 of our newsletter, thank you for reading with us! A couple months ago we launched our referral program and promised a sticker pack for anyone who referred 10 or more people. Well we finally got around to finishing them (illustrated once again by Adam Eastburn!) and will be sending out our "Mind Expansion" sticker pack shortly. If you invited 10 people and haven't claimed your stickers just search your email and you should find a form where you can input your shipping details.
On the Side
A bi-weekly recap of interesting links we've hand-picked from community profiles. Want to see more? Check out our Front Page!
Chord Sofa
You might have to sit down for this one.. Nathan Martell and Steve Suchy have collaborated again to design yet another incredible sofa system - practical and perfect for just about any space!
Visual Journal
Feeling stuck in a creative rut of sorts? Alessandro Scarpellini has got you covered! Featuring branding and graphic design projects from all around the world, his personal blog will be sure to leave you inspired.
Zouzoukwa
You’ve probably used YouTube to learn something at some point in your life. O'Plérou Grebet did just that! A video tutorial on creating emojis on Photoshop, however, soon led him to create over 365 emojis to promote African cultures - a mission he has continued to share as the project continues to expand.
The Third Space
Familiar with the concept of a “third space”? Jessica Chang, Patricia Mou, and Inga Chen evidently are. Their monthly newsletter features thoughtful reviews on third spaces they love (and that you’ll likely be fond of, as well!)
web3-to-butt
Julius Tarng’s tribute to the classic cloud-to-butt extension is more than just peachy. With Web3 being such a prominent subject of interest on the internet now, you’ll definitely be able to find a whole buttload of amusing phrases when you least expect them!
Produce Stickers
Hungry for some more creative inspiration? Feast your eyes upon these quirky veggie people designed by the incredibly talented Adam Eastburn!
Indigenous Internet
We’ve all come up with ideas that we immediately forget about the day after. Jake Advincula, however, has transformed his half-baked 7pm tweet into a wonderful Are.na board exploring the application of ecological and Indigenous ideas to how we understand online spaces!
Kizie
Twitter can be pretty overwhelming to use, especially with everyone tweeting their Wordle scores now! Thankfully, this Twitter client by Rishi Mohan has an impressive arsenal of tools and features to help you focus more on the important stuff.
Seasons of Your Day
Up to make some unexpected discoveries? In collaboration with Brad Hill, Rlley McMaster has created an interactive multimedia web experience that encourages viewers to escape into another world for a bit.
Little Fat Boy
If you’re growing tired of getting the same old takeout dishes, look no further! Frankie Gaw pays homage to his Taiwanese American heritage with a plethora of wonderful dishes that you can replicate and tweak to your own liking - all in the comfort of your own home.
