I started a new account — Street Typography @street.rakhim.org

Examples of interesting... words I guess (?) I found on random streets of random cities. Signs, graffitis, weird logos, anything that resembles cool typography.

All pictures are taken by me.

Roma, head of design of Evil Martians, is looking for his next gig.

We know each other for a long time, had endless discussions about font design, he is very meticulous, detail-oriented and with great taste. Martian Mono (his font) has been my daily driver for a while.

Can’t recommend him enough!

Switch to ProCreate, it’s golden standard of drawing on iPad (although with a small learning curve, but nothing crazy)

Updating Clojure dependencies after 6 month. No new releases

We’re excited to announce that @tonsky.me will be speaking at Local-First Conf 2025.

Learn Wasm by building a simple compiler in JavaScript. No compiler expertise necessary. All the code is in the book; we'll take you through it step by step. Get your hands dirty and see for yourself what WebAssembly is all about.

Excited to announce the official launch of our online book, WebAssembly from the Ground Up! 🎉

It's the book we wish we'd had 3 years ago.

No messing with tools and frameworks. It's a hands-on guide to the core of Wasm: the instruction set and module format.
