Boring avatars is a tiny JavaScript React library that generates custom, SVG-based, round avatars from any username and color palette.

At GitHub, we pride ourselves on delivering a first-class developer experience. A considerable part of our work is on our front end, which we strive to keep as lightweight, fast, and accessible as possible.

For a product as large as GitHub, this can be quite the task. Like many front-end codebases, we leverage components, independent, isolated, and reusable pieces of code that allow application teams to deliver high fidelity UI quickly and efficiently while still keeping to our high standards of quality.

We’re using Web Components in a big way at GitHub. We have over a dozen open-source Web Components and with dozens more that are closed source.

Overall, we’re thrilled with the changes that we’ve made to the GitHub front-end since our last post. According to the internal developer surveys that we’ve conducted, our developers are pleased with Catalyst and ViewComponent!

Developers enjoy the encapsulation of ViewComponent, making it easier to test UI and increasing developer confidence. Developers feel Catalyst is a welcome change from “old-style” JavaScript without the massive leap to a different framework or paradigm.

Gradients have been trendy for a while now, they initially made a comeback in a conventional way in backgrounds and images. Spotify made them popular again by applying duotone gradients over photos as a characteristic element of the brand in its campaigns and microsites. History is currently being revisited, taking us through an exploration of the different aesthetic movements of the 80s and the beginnings of web design in the 90s. This revival gives us multicolored retro gradients and duotone gradients from V A P O R W A V E to Memphis Design.

In the end of the article, lots of gradient generating tool are introduced. A good list to add to your collection!

We needed a solution that would allow us to standardize telemetry usage at GitHub, while making it easy for developers around the organization to instrument their code. The OpenTelemetry project provided us with exactly that!

OpenTelemetry introduces a common, vendor-neutral format for telemetry signals: OTLP. It also enables telemetry signals to be easily correlated with each other.

Below, you’ll find first-hand accounts of how essentially every major consumer app acquired their earliest users, including lessons from Tinder, Uber, Superhuman, TikTok, Product Hunt, Netflix, and many more. Enjoy!

My biggest takeaways from this research:

1. Just seven strategies account for every consumer apps’ early growth.
2. Most startups found their early users from just a single strategy. A few like Product Hunt and Pinterest found success using a handful. No one found success from more than three.
3. The most popular strategies involve going to your user directly — online, offline, and through friends. Doing things that don’t scale.
4. To execute on any of these strategies, it’s important to first narrowly define your target user. Andy Johns recently shared some great advice about this.
5. The tactics that you use to get your first 1,000 users are very different from your next 10,000. A topic for a different post.

In summary, top seven strategies to acquire your first 1,000 users

1. Go where your target users are, offline
2. Go where your target users are, online
3. Invite your friends
4. Create FOMO in order to drive word-of-mouth
5. Leverage influencers
6. Get press
7. Build a community pre-launch

Landing pages are central to successful marketing campaigns; they allow you to target particular customers with particular solutions to particular problems.

It’s easy to confuse what a landing page is because users “land” on many pages. When we talk about landing pages, we mean a page that is entirely dedicated to a particular type of customer. In fact, if we could create a unique landing page for each individual user, that would be awesome.

You might think your homepage is a landing page, but it’s not; users reach your landing page in various ways — directly, via organic search, or backlink. A landing page is normally dedicated to a specific marketing campaign. It is accessed from a link in an email, via social media, or most often via a PPC (Pay Per Click) advert.

Here are 10 elements of landing pages that are proven to convert successfully:
