Pardon my dust! I just migrated my website to the fantastic Eleventy and am recording the redesign process of adopting my design system for our AI & Design Systems course.

Sidebar is back from its break. Of ideas that can’t cease to exist.

OMG, this is such great news! My favorite newsletter Sidebar is back from its break. Designer Fabricio Teixeira is taking over the duties. He explains the spirit of Sidebar:

Sidebar has always felt different. It has advocated for a healthier web ecosystem and has always prioritized links pointing to small, curated digital gardens around the web. Links that come from the makers and doers out there. Sidebar was a signal boost for the kind of web I think many of us miss. A web built by individuals, not algorithms. It championed the small, the curated, the personal. I’ve always seen Sidebar as a force of resistance or sorts. Built for people who still believe in the web as a platform for knowledge sharing, long-form writing, and community.

I agree, which is why I too was heartbroken when Sacha announced he was taking a break from diligently publishing the newsletter for over 12 years. So yeah! If you love a no-bullshit newsletter that publishes 5 daily links about design and the web, subscribe to Sidebar here.
