### 🎨 Design

[**Humans VS AI: Who’s Better at Designing?**](https://medium.muz.li/humans-vs-ai-whos-better-at-designing-part-1-7193738f50ff?utm_source=unicornclub.dev&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=unicornclub.dev&ref=unicornclub.dev)

Some may think that the essence of a designer’s work is to create beautiful pictures. However, our philosophy states that a designer creates user experience.

### 🧠 UX

[**3 questions to evaluate design patterns and avoid unnecessary work that degrades UX**](https://adamsilver.io/blog/3-questions-to-evaluate-design-patterns-and-avoid-unnecessary-work-that-degrades-ux/?utm_source=unicornclub.dev&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=unicornclub.dev&ref=unicornclub.dev)

Altering the normal pace or direction of scrolling can contradict user expectations, control, and freedom.

[**Indeed’s Design Principles and How We Made Them**](https://indeed.design/article/indeeds-design-principles-and-how-we-made-them?utm_source=unicornclub.dev)

Inside the collaborative approach a content designer used to get a UX organization of hundreds on the same page.

### 🧑‍💻 Dev

Do you remember the time when it used to be so simple to just open a new browser window, type a website address into the search bar, and then wait a bit while the site loaded?

[**How to Create a Meteor Effect with React and TailwindCSS**](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-create-a-meteor-effect-with-react-and-tailwindcss/?utm_source=unicornclub.dev&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=unicornclub.dev&ref=unicornclub.dev)

A while ago, I saw a post on Twitter that had some fancy beams of light emanating out from behind the main image.

[**The virtual keyboard API**](https://ishadeed.com/article/virtual-keyboard-api/?utm_source=unicornclub.dev&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=unicornclub.dev&ref=unicornclub.dev)

Have you come across an issue where there is a fixed element on mobile, and when the keyboard is activated, that element will be hidden underneath the keyboard?

### 🖌️ CSS

[**Terminal CSS**](https://terminalcss.xyz/?utm_source=unicornclub.dev&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=unicornclub.dev&ref=unicornclub.dev)

Terminal CSS has no overhead and is lightweight (~ 3k gzip). The source is written in pure css to be accessible for everybody and easy to contribute.

[**CSS Selectors: A Visual Guide**](https://fffuel.co/css-selectors/?utm_source=unicornclub.dev&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=unicornclub.dev&ref=unicornclub.dev)

CSS selectors are patterns used in CSS to select and style HTML elements on a page, allowing us to dictate how styles apply to specific HTML elements.
