Designing With Integrity: The Ethical Designer's Handbook On Dark Patterns.
In the digital age, where user experience reigns supreme, the design landscape is constantly evolving. However, amidst the pursuit of innovation and engagement, there exists a darker side known as dark patterns.

The Price is (NOT!) Right – Repair edition.
We organised this game of "The Price is (NOT!) Right – Repair edition" in Brussels to show policymakers the outrageous and unfair reality of spare part prices.

One interesting thing about Open Source is that one is probably never prepared. You might encounter tricky technical problems, or have to keep up with the new technologies, but there are also a bunch of things other than coding that you have to deal with. You have to be your customer support to answer questions; be a designer, a writer to prepare nice documentation; a project manager to keep the project on track; a team leader to onboard new contributors and keep the team motivated; marketing your stuff; speaking at conferences; and so on. Those are the "side-effects" of being an open source developer, many things come to you in a bundle, not only the code.

9 years of Apple text editor solo dev
At some point, I started calling the app Paper because, in pursuit of ultimate minimalism, I’ve reduced the editor to nothing more than a blank rectangle. To top it off, I’ve made the corners 90° instead of the typical rounded ones. Silly? Maybe… But it was my app so I could do whatever I wanted. 😈
