Use to be my blog but is now my inspo dump on Tumblr

Some great text first layouts from Jason Kottke and Gina Trapani

This website by Logan Williams sits between an acacdemic-ish website (you know those ugly ones with long lists of papers, conferences, etc. in pure text) and a more general homepage. Make sense because Logan is an electrical engineer turned data visualization engineer. Reminded me that I'm an electrical and electronics engineer too! And it would be fun it list out my projects on my website too!

Ethan Marcotte just screams web 2.0 to me! Some feels like a website from a bygone era. The fox logo is beautiful and the cloud rangoli thing at the top is a nice touch; though I don't like it interfering with the title text.

These illustrations are gorgeous! They capture a lot everyday things ands iconic places across Bombay and Bangalore. The style reminded me a bit of Mario Miranda. So lovely. Got check out https://madebyvarunika.com/work

Friendship ended with Maggie Appleton, Nikhil Anand is my new best friend (for homepage and digital garden inspiration).

That sketch, those cute physical DVD case style movie listings, and similar physical cases for music and games, stark opionionated yellow colour theme, and so many other details gushing with personality. 🤌🏻

Gorgeous page which creates a bokeh-ish blurry portrait of Golden Gate bridge. Simply beautiful and so soothing. Fara Yan - San Francisco
