Really interesting site, it’s well written and chock full of neat info. On top of all that it looks really great, I love the blog-like feeling. The different “art directed” looking issues (I guess you call it) are a joy to look through, there’s no telling what you’ll find here as you slog through the site’s content. Really fun and great to look at.

Large, close targets are faster to hit than small, distant ones, that’s Fitts’s Law. A look at the 1954 rule behind buttons, prime and magic pixels, thumb zones, and dark patterns.
Your working memory holds about four things, not seven. Chunking groups loose information into meaningful units that slip past that limit, the psychology behind phone numbers, scannable pages, multi-step forms, and grouped navigation.
The Call to Action hasn’t changed in a decade, but the bar has. A fresh look at prominence, copy, mobile tap targets, and accessibility, with lessons from three major design systems.
I love their header and the use of the large condensed typeface. Not sure what that is. Looks like it could be Univers Ultra Condensed but I don’t think so. Anyhow, great site!
The little sidebar is a way to save articles. If you’re logged in, you’ll see little plus signs by article titles. Clicking that allows you to save it to one of the three sections.
@john – Cool, i’ll give that a try. They might want to think about adding something to that sidebar for people who aren’t logged in, it confused me a little. But that is a great detail to the site.
I agree. I just happened to stumble upon it myself.
