Hey 👋
This week, we’re diving into a mix of topics—from Squid Game's stunning use of minimalism and contrast in design, to Nokia’s design archive (it's a treasure chest of forgotten brilliance—seriously, who knew?).
On the dev side, there’s a HTML trick, plus a controversial case for sticking with Sublime Text in 2025.
Also, heads up—Unicorn Club merch has officially landed! 🚀 Free stickers are up for grabs with your T-Shirt order. Details below, don't miss out.
Enjoy 🦄 - Adam at Unicorn Club.
