You've probably already heard me talking about this, but the first ONCE product from 37signal is available now, it's called Campfire. The idea is that instead of paying for Slack forever, you pay for this once, I really hope more of these types of products take off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAzRUbE1AAw

After selling their Freehand tool to Miro in November last year, InVision have just announced they'll be shutting down at the end of 2024. It's kind of crazy to see how quickly the rise and fall of a company like this can happen. They had a valuable of over $2billion just a few years ago, I remember when you basically couldn't move in the design world without seeing InVision everywhere. It's not surprising, Figma basically took all the utility away from InVision - and even Sketch has it's own prototyping too these days (but who still uses Sketch anyway?) Still, I think InVision played a big role in modernising design collaboration, so it's kind of a shame we won't see anything else from then again.

It's the holiday season, so things are probably starting to quiet down for most of us, so thought it'd be interesting to hear what you all like to do in your down time? I'm pretty terrible for taking downtime, but when I do my go-to activity is gaming, though these days I stick to single player games I can clock in around 40 hours, I find it way too easy to get sucked games and sink 100s of hours otherwise. And when I want to get away from the shiny rectangles for a while, I like to do a bit of woodworking or DIY, or building mechanical keyboards. As for my plans over the holidays, I'll be firing up the PS5 and digging into Spider Man 2. What about you?
