    This article about Goldman Sans is such a great read. "Bespoke typefaces are an increasingly common corporate flex." 🤣

    🙌🏻 We survived another week. But it is starting to look like we're in this for the long haul, so as we contemplate many more months like this, I'd love to hear how you're doing and what you're worried about. Should take less than 5 minutes.

    I'm blown away that the @RangeLabs Slack app hit #1 on , and got featured in the app store. 🤯 So I took some time today to write down what I learned from designing our Slack app.

    Building a Slack app is trickier than it looks. Thanks to for sharing these dev tips for handling user interaction in Slack. ✨

    Tip 0: Update the Slack message with the state you need. Here, I ended up re-rendering the whole message in response, but updating the value of the button with the value of the selected item. So ~react~ive.

    👋 I'd love some help from friends — We're trying to debug a Google Share Drive issue for our customers, but support is telling us we have to pay them money to access the feature, even as developers. 😭 It's super frustrating there's no GSuite developer accounts.

    Tip 12: Links have hover-info. So if you design your URLs clearly, it means you can show a little extra context to users before they click.

    Tip 11: You can remove the label from text inputs by setting the label to " ". Here's an example from our comment-reply modal. Use this technique sparingly though and always add placeholder text.

    Tip 10: Dropdown inputs are crazy powerful. You can group content in them. And you can type-to-search too. That means you can cram these inputs with tons of content and they still work. Here's an example where our users can search and attach work across linked tools:
