This week has been about 3D icons, testing colour combinations, Rust types, SVG grids, a JavaScript build tool and a React motion library.

# Vite

# Framer Motion

A motion library for React with a declarative interface.

# 3D icons

A collection of 3D icons available in multiple formats including Blender.

# The curse of strong typing

A conversational article exploring the Rust type system with a climax point on smart pointers, and then well an async rabbi-thole.

# Creating Generative SVG Grids

A tutorial on how to use SVG grids as the canvas for generative art.

# Contrast Grid

A tool to test many foreground and background color combinations for compliance with WCAG 2.0 minimum contrast.
