2021 week 36—Vector & Raster, Inclusive Design 24, Accessibility articles
Links Worth Sharing for Web Developers and Designers.
Hi there,
It is 2021 week 36. This week my favorite tool gets updates and I'm now working more productive with Basecamp. Also a very good read on how we can combine vector and raster for performance. Some accessibility links, including the upcoming Inclusive Design 24 event, and 3 lists with loads of accessibility articles.
Enjoy!

Turbo, formerly Turbolinks, is the secret of how the Rails framework uses server-side rendering and still feels fast via sending HTML, instead of JSON, over the wire.
