Holding off a whole month of what appeared at the time as valuable info and see what is still relevant after a while. Also called a nice spin on being too busy.

What I’ve been reading
----------------------

### Dashboard / Data

[https://pencilandpaper.io/articles/ux-pattern-analysis-data-dashboards/](https://pencilandpaper.io/articles/ux-pattern-analysis-data-dashboards/)

It comes with illustrations, just to make the points clearer. I’ll keep getting back to those two for a while.

[Pencil and Paper](https://pencilandpaper.io/) have also a very good series for tables best practices, comes with nice tricks, that everybody should use.

Scratch that, they have a LOAD of nice articles. Check them out at your own pace.

### Work Experience

This one resonates with me, I’m into this right now more than in Jan actually.

### Design

I cannot recommend enough this tool. I’m worried it can do too much actually 😅.

Think tailwind but not quite but still more. Same but different. I think it should be in the Tools section but I feel this need to be here.

We never know enough of it.

Was following this at the start of the series, happy to see it growing to all those problems!

You should trust Andy, I trust Andy. For those times you just want to go fast on the UI without looking too crapy.

Tools

[https://react-icons.github.io/react-icons/](https://react-icons.github.io/react-icons/)

[https://csslayout.io/](https://csslayout.io/)

That’s all folks for now. I see that what remains mostly is tools and knowledge bases rather that article about tips and tricks. I’ll add the rest next week.
