Guidelines for designing websites true to their materials: content.
Schöne Einführung in die Prinzipien des Brutalist Web Design von David Copeland, die auch jenseits von brutalistischen Webseiten beachtens- und erstrebenswert sind.

OpenSC2K, SimCity 2000 build with JavaScript
In unserer beliebten Reihe der JavaScript-Nachbauten von Retro-Software folgt heute nach Winamp und MS Paint ein Spielklassiker, mit dem ich damals unendlich viel Zeit verbrachte: SimCity 2000, nachgebaut mit JavaScript, der HTML5 Canvas API1, SQLite und eingepackt mit Electron.

Short Trip
Short Trip is the first instalment in a collection of interactive illustrations created for the web. It has been created as a study into capturing the essence of graphite on paper within a digital context, and to learn more about web-based graphics technologies. Short Trip will run on most devices supporting WebGL, including mobile devices.
Sehr tolle und beeindruckende Arbeit von Alexander Perrin. (via Waxy)
Matt Mullenweg: On React and WordPress
Interesting development in the WordPress community: After creating it’s modern, React-based Calypso interface in 2015, Automattic and the WordPress team are now parting ways with React, because of a patent issue in it’s license. They are going to rewrite their upcoming Gutenberg editor with a new, yet to be chosen JavaScript framework, which then should become the new standard for WordPress.
While Preact, a lightweight React alternative with the same API, would be the obvious replacement, a majority of the community prefers a switch to Vue.js. An opinion I highly support. I had the opportunity to learn and work with Vue.js in my day job and for shortfil.ms 2.0 in the last couple of months and I’m hooked. I think it’s right up WordPress‘ alley, because it’s an easy to learn, yet powerful framework and could be a perfectly fitting foundation for modern front-end development with WordPress in the years to come.
TL;DR: +1 for Vue.js
What is the Future of Front End Web Development?
Chris Coyier hat sich ein paar Gedanken zur Zukunft des Frontends gemacht, die ich alle so unterschreiben kann.
Check! before you launch
Here’s a checklist of small-ish tasks you’ll want to cross off before you formally announce your new thing (app, website, physical product, an art of some sort).
Helpful little list by Neven Mrgan, who launched Stagehand recently.
Dumb Password Rules
Shaming sites with dumb password rules.
Als einzige deutsche Webseite darf die Sparkasse mit ihrem merkwürdigen Online-Banking-PIN-System natürlich nicht fehlen. (via @horn)
