Warm email

from Luke Mitchell | Product Designer [alt+shift+b] in design

29th Dec 2025
I have an email address that you’ll find in the footer below this post, I rarely get emails to it, the ones I do get fall into two categories: very, very kind people paying compliments to me about this website; secondly some sort of cold email, usually from a SEO expert...

Markdown is really good

from Luke Mitchell | Product Designer [alt+shift+b] in design

4th Feb 2025
I was reading Manu’s post about ‘old tech’ and suddenly thought, markdown is really, really good. What is it? Markdown is a markup (get it?) language which aims to make formatting text as easy as possible, while still being easy to read. Markdown can be processed into HTML, which...

Chicken accessories for chickens

from Luke Mitchell | Product Designer [alt+shift+b] in design

17th Jan 2025
This post originally appeared on thoughtbot.com I was browsing an online marketplace the other day because I was a bit bored, and because I have a unique need to seek out dark patterns. Something caught my eye as I scrolled. Amongst all the other suspiciously cheap items, was a...

The time for designers to learn to code is now

from Luke Mitchell | Product Designer [alt+shift+b] in design

12th Jul 2024
I often use the analogy that when we design for print, what are we doing over and over again? Doing proof prints. Why then when designing websites (or apps) are we not getting in to the browser as quickly as possible, rather than creating interactive pictures of websites in...

How I collect & create bookmarks

from Luke Mitchell | Product Designer [alt+shift+b] in design

15th Jun 2024
I have been collecting bookmarks for quite a while, as you read this there are 1052 of them, which shocks me, they really build up fast. What I haven’t done yet is explain how I collect them and how they end up on this site. Ethos Describing my ethos properly is probably another...

My favourite albums of 2023

from Luke Mitchell | Product Designer [alt+shift+b] in design

8th Dec 2023
I don’t have a Spotify wrapped to share this year. So, in no particular order, my favourite albums of the year: boygenius – the record I have followed the work of this supergroups members for a little while. When they come together they create something incredible. This album is...

The fundamental shift

from Luke Mitchell | Product Designer [alt+shift+b] in design

13th Jun 2023
Like David I think it’s going to be a long time before the interfaces I sometimes daydream about will get close to reality, for me the Vision Pro is the first view into the future, which surprised me. That shift is fundamental. The interface for Vision Pro felt like it...

A future of design work with AI

from Luke Mitchell | Product Designer [alt+shift+b] in design

4th Mar 2023
Like a almost everyone I work with I’m thinking a lot about how all this new fangled AI stuff will change my work. Matthew offers the most level-headed metaphor I’ve found so far: Just as fly-by-wire systems have made pilots more efficient (not redundant), AI and automation will...

Good Case Studies

from Luke Mitchell | Product Designer [alt+shift+b] in design

25th Jul 2021
I’m currently thinking about writing case studies for my work, I didn’t know where to start, so I did what I do when starting any project, some research; I needed to define what I think makes a good case study. Here are my thoughts so far. Structure I am a fan of detailed...

Using a notebook as a task manager

from Luke Mitchell | Product Designer [alt+shift+b] in design

2nd May 2021
I’m sometimes asked which app I use to manage my time, to-dos or plans. My answer is none, for the most part. I use a notebook, a real paper notebook. Every morning I sit down at my desk, and turn my notebook to a fresh page. I’ll then spend 10 minutes copying out calendar events...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
