Hey there
Hope you all have a great weekend. Despite this being a shorter week after the Easter break, I felt quite productive and lots of different projects are finally moving in the right direction again. More on that later.
But first: here are a few things I found worth reading.
Open Web Endgame
Anil Dash about how the open web is assaulted by big tech and why it’s worth it (and how it actually is possible) to fight for an open web in the future. Agree.

Future Revisions
Brian Coords on the idea of “Future Revisions” in WordPress. I actually had some similar thoughts about a month ago and even started to experiment with a plugin that would allow you to “fork” posts and pages for exactly the same reason. His idea sounds way more thought-through than mine though and I would love to see this happening.

On why CSS subgrid is super cool
I shied away of using subgrid for exactly this purpose just last week, ending up using some nested calc() functions to calculate spacing instead, but now I’m starting to question my decision again. Maybe I should give CSS subgrid a chance for this again.

The new White House App is ridiculously bad
The White House released a mobile app which is tracking users, loads insecure stuff on every page load and does all kinds of other nefarious crap. So basically, a perfect representation of the carelessness of this current administration. Read a break down of all the things this app does wrong.
