Still one of the best images to illustrate what’s wrong with the Mercator projection. Its Web Marcator sibling is de facto the standard used by Google, Apple and others for a 2D maps on the web.
Different world map projections - mercator etc.

I started to use Cloudflare for my personal projects and it's crazy what you can get for free. I use: – pages hosting + CDN – data storage w/ Workers KV – R2 file storage w/ $0 egress – tunnel my localhost to a public URL – turnstile for spam & bots – 0trust for access mgmt

Getting map data into layered vectors should be easier. Most map design workflows still start with a mess: find the data, export it, clean it up, split layers, fix labels, then rebuild everything in Illustrator or Figma. So I made Map2SVG 👇

Why are Apple icons becoming more unified and standardised? Having so wide portfolio with different platforms is always a hard balancing act between consistency and ways for expressing personality... weblog.rogueamoeba.com/2026/06/26/f...

What if AI didn’t just answer… but showed you? Claude now creates "mini apps" inside responses. That’s a different kind of learning! Perfect if you think visually like I do.

Use /btw command in Claude Code to ask questions without interrupting current task.

New 🗣️ /voice feature in CC works like a charm. This easily replaces external apps like superwhisper or whisprflow for me. But how many tokens does this actually consume? Anyone knows?
