Five things I like right now
Listen

Read

Eat
Doing a bunch of gluten free baking as one of the people I live with is maybe gluten intolerant.
Some lessons:
- Things based on non-gluten flours cannot be indistinguishable from gluten-including things. The texture is fundamentally different.
- you can “fake” gluten with xantham gum, which is often included in “bakes like real flour” gluten-free flours. The texture is almost the same as wheat-flour.
Think
As UX becomes commoditised, something else will become possible. I’m not sure what it’s called yet, but I think I almost know what it might be.
