New site, who dis?
Ok, it’s not really a new site. But it’s an important refresh!
Glossy finished products are fun, but the real meat is hiding in the sketchbooks. Makers love to see the raw ideas, the struggle to make it work, and the tradeoffs made in service to shipping. Previously, we only had project pages, but we didn’t have a place to showcase those intermediate artifacts of our work.
Our new site makes it easy for any member of Next to share a learning, a screenshot, a thought, or a full-blown essay. It could be a tiny demo, or an update to an existing project. Working for the public good — and largely in the open — is one of the key perks we enjoy at Next. We’re looking forward to sharing more of our behind the scenes with you, without needing to fit everything into a tweet-shaped chunk of content.
Under the hood, we also wanted to transition to a static site framework like Astro for ease of maintenance. Shoutout to the Astro folks, it’s so good.
Enjoy the new site, we’re excited to share more with you!
