Hi @ossia, really enjoyed your @freeCodeCamp article on spaced repetition freecodecamp.org/news/use-sp… — I've been trying to make Anki a little more fun with github.com/badlydrawnrob/Ank… themes. Might be a useful addition to the forgetting problem?

Recently watched "Objectified" documentary; slowly rekindling my interest in design. It might be useful to consider "timeless design" in the digital world, too — not chasing the latest trends: medium.com/startup-grind/can… #design #ux #ui

In the past 5 minutes I've "experienced" a freewall (forced registration), as well as a hidden do not track "optional" button — both ad-industry sites. Coincidence? Where's that back button ... thedrum.com/opinion/2018/11/… #advertising #gdpr
