I write stuff, and sometimes I dump links (mainly as a way to offload my open tabs). This month's #linkdump is up:

Here are my favorites; a thread:

1. A brand new CSS property allows to control text according to the font's x-height instead of the previous half-leading technique. I'm curious how this can change the practice of #webtoprint in the future. For the better? Use it and tell me how it goes!

2. Make CSS-only pseudo-random styles for a list of elements using the :nth-child property and the Cicada Principle (prime numbers). This requires no JavaScript, no complex calculus, only a few lines and your expert decision. Also, it's consistent across all screens, as the style never actually changes.

3. Si vous ne voulez pas payer pour un nom de domaine complet (ils peuvent s'avérer chers), #Netlibre propose des sous-domaines gratis, et comme ça vous ne donnez pas de sous aux géants des #DNS . Par contre, ils ne vous hébergeront pas.

5. There's a new model in town for financing and supporting / contributing to open and shared #typeface projects. Contribute to a font by paying for it, getting the font and a license to use it, and help it grow until it reaches its funding goal and becomes libre! and adopts OFL.

It's an interesting proposal to pay the designers of our fonts while also contributing to our commons. I'll have to think about it though, I'm not entirely sure about it.
