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.

And if you use Wrangler (their CLI), you can do many of your tasks even without leaving your favorite AI agent / touching the web interface.

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

There's many more examples of this like Radithor (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radithor) or Heroin cough syrup (www.bbc.com/news/world-a...). I’m also curious what people will think about mobile phone signals, Wi-Fi and all the other invisible waves flying through the air in 20, 30 years...

You can even add your own custom map if there's a specific style you're aiming for. It started as a quick weekend project but in the end I spent much more time on polishing it than i expected… 🤌😁 Try it here: polygrid.dev/map2svg

You open the map, define the area and just copy or export the SVG. Or you can search for any place on earth and get back exact geometry as vectors. Or simply right-click into the map and select what you want where you cursor is. 👇

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...

Claude. Dá to v pohodě. Z mojí zkušenosti Gemini má pořád tendenci si vymýšlet, i když tomu dáš exaktní data a řekneš, že má vycházet jen z toho.

That’s why I still believe in starting low-fidelity: no visuals, just structure and content. 👉 github.com/agilek/wiref... This skill turns plain language into structured wireframes & prototypes. Some ugly samples: Let me know what you think – any feedback welcome!

🚀 Launching a new agent skill today. Everyone’s generating full websites with AI. UI is easy now. Deciding what belongs on the screen isn’t. If the content is wrong, the whole thing is wrong.

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.

Btw did you know about this one? Use it to ask questions in one session without stopping currently running task.
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?
