I haven’t written weeknotes in a little while because I don’t always have loads to say. So I think I’ll say things when I have something worth saying. Seems sensible to me. In defence of graceful degradation I finally published the article I paired on with Amy. This one, as Amy said, nearly killed us . I think that’s.

Versioning prototypes, design system bits and article updates. Versioning prototypes In the past 12 months I’ve created 5 different prototypes using the GOV.UK Prototype Kit. At times, due to the rapid pace of iteration, I’ve not been the most hygenic when it comes to versioning. That means different versions sometime.

Finished Insanity Max 30 After a very stressful day on Tuesday I woke up early on the Wednesday feeling like shit. So I ended up missing day 3—booooo! But hey that’s life.

I'm a huge fan of CodePen (No, they didn’t pay me to write this). I'm using it for prototyping, experimenting, sharing code, and in my latest blog post, The Dark Side of the Grid , I'm also making use of their Embedded Pens .

A disproportionate amount of time is spent designing complex interactions that hide content at the cost of usability. Links are hidden within menus; hints behind tooltips; images in carousels; all sorts inside accordions and tabs; and labels inside inputs .
