A couple of weeks ago in Cambridge, we got a room full of designers, contributors, friends, and the Rocketspark team together to celebrate the launch. After a long stretch of writing, second-guessing, and rewriting, it still feels a bit surreal that people can actually buy a copy....

Resizing text, adjusting spacing, nudging things until the phone version feels as good as the desktop one. Yeah, we've been thinking about that one.Designing for mobile has always felt like a second pass. You build the website on desktop, then go and "fix" it on mobile, which is essentially twice the work for one website...

No Silver, no Gold. We'd rather talk about why than leave you wondering."Most years we see more awards in Rocketspark's seasonally larger months. January and February are often lower as many of our designers are off for the holidays. That said though, to win an award in a quieter month means you don't have to share the exposure with other award winners, so it's a good time to try and get an award." — Jeremy, Co-FounderJanua...

That single link in an Instagram or TikTok bio that opens up a neat little page full of clickable buttons.

But if you already have a Rocketspark website, yo...
