Using CSS Grid the right way

I’ve used CSS Grid a few times now but I still sorta struggle with the mental model and end up trying things out in a tedious fashion, Violet’s write up featured loads of useful tips that really helped me get my head around using it IRL.

Font Review Journal

What a treasure trove of in depth write ups about fonts! I really enjoyed reading a few of these this week, particularly Galaxie Copernicus and Windsor.

Future Fonts

Future Fonts sells experimental WIP fonts. What a great idea‽

Monetising data

I’ve been a fan of CityMapper (their iOS release notes are proper good) but the annoucement of an Oyster card rival that will undercut the price sounds like a (morally) questionable business model. This Twitter thread does a great job explaning why.

About me

Jon Heslop is a web developer based in Walthamstow, he lives with his wife Rebecca and their dog, Maude. He enjoys cycling, cooking and hanging out with friends.

Enough of the third person... I was born in London, grew up on the Wirral before coming of age in the Midlands (somehow that’s the accent that mostly stuck). I went to university in London and then spent a while in West Wales.

I’ve been building websites since I was a teenager and I have been very lucky with the places and people I’ve worked with over the years.
