Hmm I might have to give that a shot. Thanks!

This is awesome! I dug up my old 2nd gen Kindle in the hopes of following along, and sadly the battery is busted :(

Instead, I'm currently in the process of making a macOS screen saver to replicate this!

I'm blogging my updates at http://jamesliu.io/posts/macos-screensaver/

disposedtrolley··on IBM Type
IBM's last corporate typeface was a slightly modified version of Helvetica, which wasn't particularly distinctive and didn't see much adoption internally.

Plex was introduced a few weeks ago internally with considerable uptake. Intranet articles and corporate comms look much nicer now :P

IBM also produced the Carbon Design System which influences most of their product offerings (most notably on IBM Cloud/Bluemix) http://carbondesignsystem.com/

disposedtrolley··on Ask HN: Why is software quality an afterthought for many people/companies?
I working in consulting, and in a lot of cases while we're well intentioned in delivering quality software, we're forced to fight against clients in time, budget, scope creep etc.

Sadly, things sometimes get rushed out the door and it's not until some time has passed that they realise the enormous tech debt they've incurred.

disposedtrolley··on Narrows: online storytelling system
That's so awesome! Glad to see there's still people working on interactive fiction. Some of the best times I've had were spent playing IF games like Jigsaw with friends.
