Going through @CakeBitesize content training - some great practical tips e.g. on use of bold and tone - that I haven't seen so explicitly written down before (it's somewhat implicit in other style guides)

If your government (national, local, whatever) or organisation (public, private, whatever) has ever made use of the GOV.‌UK Design System (code, guidance, whatever), please reply and let us know what impact it had. RT for reach? Thank you! 🙏

this seems very bad for anyone that owns one of these bikes—you have to unlock it with the app! and unless something has changed, it's owned/maintained by an external vendor... who won't keep it up if they aren't paid

Designing a high-converting form is not achieved by using float labels. It’s achieved by: 1) Asking minimal questions 2) Making those questions clear 3) Using simple interactions that users understand Prioritise the hard work over visual fluff.

Looking for advice: we have delivery managers from different backgrounds, how can we help ourselves to get a good grounding in digital/technology basics. The outcome we are looking for is that DM’s can ask good questions, plan well and know enough to follow technical chats.

I said most people's cats jump on the kitchen counters when no one is watching because cats are ungovernable and don't care if they're not allowed up there. I got angry replies for months from people insisting their cats would never.
