Typography of code : Design meets the IDE. How can the visual presentation of code be made more functional and aesthetic. Syntax highlighting doesn't have to be the zenith of how code is displayed. (Once upon a time indentation was a radical new idea!) I'd love to ideate and build prototypes with like minded coder-designers.

Blog post I wrote about the steps in developer experience up till now: https://wanderingstan.com/2020-02-04/the-evolution-of-develo...



Interested in learning more/working on this. Any reading you recommend beyond the blog post you linked?


Sadly there really is not much. Glad that you're interested!

This talk from 2018 is asking the right questions, though I'm not a huge fan of all his ideas: https://hilton.org.uk/presentations/beautiful-code

I have a rough Google doc I've been dumping ideas and links into that I'd be happy to share.

You can email me at <my username>@gmail.com

Would love to collaborate to develop some ideas and build some prototypes to try them out!
