Pixel Perfect Picks #88 - Sunday Vibes, Granola, Figlet

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.

Heard Something

On a sunny Sunday, starting the day relaxed, having breakfast, enjoying a Flat White, and sitting in the sun. All that's missing is some good music, right? I had the perfect Sunday vibes with this set, which fits perfectly into this setting. It could become a tradition.

Read Something

The AI notepad for people in back-to-back meetings. This is what won me over with Granola.ai. An AI-first note-taking tool that (finally) transcribes without weird bots in meetings and enhances your own notes. A very clever twist. Now it just needs to be available in multiple languages, and I will have a new favorite tool in my setup.
 

Saw Something

When I started developing Figma widgets, the beginning was easy, but a little help would have been great. I believe I have now found a resource that perfectly addresses this use case. With Plugma and Figlet, there are two fantastic beginner plugins to get acquainted with the topic and take the first steps. This video also explains it well.
