Datatype is an interesting use (abuse?) of font features that allows you to display inline charts and graphs. It’s free and open source. I had the chance to use it at work on COSMIC and it’s a nice visual aid when displaying numbers.

Sometime within the last couple of years or so, I became totally burnt out (heh) on cool colors. I’ve started using color schemes and themes (in different apps that support them) that employ warm, earthy colors instead.

I recently found this one and one of the things I like about its theme for VS Code is that not only does the dark variant look good, but the light variant does as well, ensuring that all text meets WCAG AAA contrast standards.

It’s rare to find a good light theme with solid contrast. Even more so to find a good one paired with a good dark one as well. I haven’t been tempted to override any of the colors yet, which is saying something.

The excitement—and, frankly, sheer giddiness—with which this developer introduces his new app is the most wholesome thing I’ve seen this week.

From the minute when I started watching it, I was thinking that the last thing I needed was an app launcher, having had a Powerpack license for Alfred for… checks notes… nearly 14 years!

But the more I watched, the more I was intrigued. Before I could even get done with the video, I had the app and the Pro license.

Yes, I am aware I have a problem.

(Yes, I know Raycast can do everything. If you like it, cool.)

Watch this if you need a pick-me-up and want to see a bunch of people fail their charisma saving throws.

Nice color scheme from the CEO of Obsidian. I’ve been using this color scheme in various apps. There are a few versions in Obsidian, particularly in the Minimal theme and the Baseline theme.

I’ve also used the Flexoki variants of the One Hunter Theme for VS Code.

My new tab page browser extension, A Fine Start, also includes light and dark Flexoki themes.
