ON THE HISTORY OF PASTA ๐ŸŽง

Quartz Obsession's Pasta: A global staple1 was an amazing listen. The podcast reminded me of Malayalees' missed opportunity to be pasta consumers2! (Read N S Madhavanโ€™s เดฒเดจเตเดคเตปเดฌเดคเตเดคเต‡เดฐเดฟเดฏเดฟเดฒเต† เดฒเตเดคเตเดคเดฟเดจเดฟเดฏเด•เตพ3 if you liked this cultural info! [Novelโ€™s English Translation available4] )

PERSONAL WEBSITE ๐ŸŒ

I revamped my website. It now has a cleaner homepage, and support lists along with a few other improvements. The Jekyll template is yet to be updated, as I am stuck with two bugs. Let's hope it will be sorted by the end of June! (Btw, Thanks for 100+ stars on Github!)

GUESS THE MOVIE ๐ŸŽž๏ธ

Framed.wtf5 is an over-simplified spin-off to Wordle6, targeting cinephiles. Guess the movie, from the screenshot, you have 6 chances. Btw, the screenshots are from the ShotDeck7 library, an interesting database of HD images with advanced search and collaboration features.

AUTO LAYOUT ๐Ÿค–

Figma has come up with good updates this time at Config.8 While auto-layout got improved9, it's still missing the basic CSS-Grid features. For example, you can create a 3x3 grid with a tidy up and config, but not with auto-layout as it is unidirectional.

VARIABLE FONT โŒจ๏ธ

Roboto Flex10 Variable Font version is now available. With ~8 values to configure11, the options provided by Roboto have increased exponentially!

FRONT-LOAD MONDAY โœจ

Anand12 shared an article Front-Loading your week13 this morning. My first reaction was "I am not a Monday person", but after the whole day, I think I was wrong. Mondays can be productive! I Should try this method!
