Hey there 👋

Welcome to this installment of Pixel Perfect Picks. Here I'm sharing something that I heard, read, and saw. You can subscribe to this newsletter here. I'm additionally publishing a more extended essay about software development, design, and freelancing every month.

I can't even count how many good conversations I've had in the last week and the incredibly amazing things I've heard. I received great Figma plugin recommendations such as the Master Plugin or the Fix-Detached Instances Plugin. Or how I could do another deep dive into my little color nerd topic (See my talk at Into Design Systems) and thereby oklch(), learned about the color system of Radix or the new color scale of Material Design.

During my trip to London, I spent the waiting time at the airport and on the airplane with Cal Newport's new book. I enjoyed the time with Slow Productivity a lot, as it resonates well with the current times. Personally, I found it lacking a bit in practical tips for implementation, but it remains a great philosophy on natural work.

Last week, I didn't see something, but rather many people. With Memorisely, we had our workation, and it was simply wonderful to see so many great people and to forge many new friendships. Thank you for everything, Memfam! I look forward to what's to come!

PS: Probably many new readers will now be here for our Memorisely Workcation. If you are reading this: Love ya'll, Memfam 🫶

Until next time. Keep creating awesome stuff ✌️
