Javascript unit testing. There's a large number of testing frameworks and I can't really figure out how testing works. Do I need to learn it if I don't work on single page apps?
Totally agree with this: not worth it unless you need to improve your financial situation. In my case, I'm way better off now as a designer who codes than when I started off as a print designer.
Another thing missing is that you won't be productive at all unless you use some really advanced tooling. CSS pre- and post-processors, templating languages, module bundlers such as Webpack/Browserify, task runners, scaffolding tools - you name it. Good luck designing a large-ish project writing vanilla html/css without things getting out of control.
I would only recommend working like this to the type of person who becomes bored and unmotivated unless given really hard challenges.
Was it this one: www.fullstopnewparagraph.co.uk? He's from London though.
Not sure if this one fits but it's been a favourite since the day I found it: junior.io.
Does anyone know how these animations are built? svg + js?
Any reason for that? Just curious about how do you deal with automation. I use Gulp myself and so far it's been working quite well for me.
Thank you very much for this!
By the way, how did you make the website? It's a static site, right? It's really fast! :)
Looks like some of the writing on this particular page has been copied and pasted from the website of Work & Co. What's up with that?
You could try turning on antialiasing on large headings, looks better on a dark background IMO:

Designer News is a large, global community of people working or interested in design and technology.
Have feedback?
Looks great!
This framework would fit very well in my workflow. I have my own framework which is similar to this one, but much smaller.
Here it seems that you can use individual modules without having to include the whole thing. Exactly what I need!
