It is not. The original is much better.


Sometimes things don't have a reason beyond: "It was fun to make." shrug


Grug wanted me to let you know that Grug sad and Grug will fix.


See Sleeper Agents (https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.05566).


Who in their right mind is going to blindly take the code output by a large language model and toss it on a cruise missile? Sleeper agents are trivially circumvented by even a modicum of human oversight.


We think cookie banners are horrible and couldn't design one that isn't disrespectful to you all – developers. Also, privacy is good?

Sometimes there is no conspiracy theory. :)


Good question! We just shipped GitHub Discussions to millions of developers and we can learn whether people use and like the product by looking at whether people are creating discussions, customizing categories, and answering questions.

The argument that you need to follow users around every step of the way to build great products is simply untrue.


The engineering team sketched them out by hand and were later translated into vectors by the design team.

The vector graphics were made in Sketch (https://www.sketchapp.com). Another popular alternative at GitHub is Figma (https://www.figma.com/).


Creator of CloudApp here (no longer involved). This is really neat, thanks for sharing! You could potentially monitor ~/Desktop on OS X and identify screenshots with:

  mdls 'Screen Shot 2016-10-24 at 4.14.54 PM.png' | grep IsScreenCapture
That would match the original behavior even closer.

Edited for brevity


Props. Didn't know you were no longer involved. Sale? Is this why it got super expensive?


Thanks for the tip.


A slightly modified version of Tablet Gothic (https://typekit.com/fonts/tablet-gothic).


Here you go (we'll update docs momentarily):

https://cdn.herokuapp.com/deploy/button.svg


You should just convert to .svg the white icon, the rest of the button will look better in CSS.


That may be the case, but there's many contexts where you'd use this button where you can't alter the page's CSS. Perhaps the prime example being GitHub READMEs.


I'm not on a retina display but that doesn't look as nice. The letters are so thin they start to disappear even before using the light-purple-on-dark-purple font.


the font does look thinner but I like it (doesn't look any more invisible from my eyes)


The fact that on a Mac the font is thinner makes me wonder if you can even see it on Windows?


Judging by my windows machine and using just my eyes, yes, it's a little thinner, and no, there's no problem reading it. The faded-grey-ness of the words "to Heroku" is a much bigger legibility problem than the minor change in font weight.


Very impressive
