Yesterday I discovered the excellent [unDraw](https://undraw.co). Apparently,
|
|
it's been around for quite a few years now.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, after a little 'how did I not know about this earlier?' moment and a
|
|
quick investigation, it was bookmarked and, with a determination not to
|
|
completely forget about it within minutes as I usually do, I happily went about
|
|
my day.
|
|
|
|
It's now one day later and I just so happen to be starting a little personal
|
|
web project of mine. And what would be the perfect little touch to start it off
|
|
with? That's right, a nice little vector illustration.
|
|
|
|
{{<
|
|
figure
|
|
src="/images/undraw-01.svg"
|
|
alt="A stylised illustration of a developer sitting alongside a huge laptop."
|
|
class="medium"
|
|
>}}
|
|
|
|
So, I go to find the bookmark and it turns out, there's two bookmarks. Exactly the
|
|
same. So, I did know about this site. For how long? Who knows. I haven't got the
|
|
best memory so it could reasonably be anywhere from a month or two, to years.
|
|
|
|
And, I'm fairly certain it's not the only duplicate in there ...
|
|
|
|
Anyway, the point of all this rambling? It's about time I did something
|
|
and that's where this post comes in.
|
|
|
|
My resource 'Hall of Fame' if you will. A place to memorialise the less used,
|
|
but nonetheless worthy resources of mine. Never again, to be lost in the annals
|
|
of time.
|
|
|
|
Probably not too much use to anyone else, but just the thing for me.
