Join Platy’S Readwise Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Platy's read, .
It would be entirely fair to call LoveFrom’s obsessive approach to its serif as ouroboric—a process that goes so deeply into itself that it will always create its own new problem. As Ive holds up the initials SJ set into monumental bronze, he teases how much more complicated the serif becomes when considering its existence in the 3D world.

The coolhunters each had their own way of finding hits. Every morning, Harper scoured a list she’d assembled of blogs and internet arcana, searching for interesting videos. When she found ones worth putting on the homepage, she would add them to YouTube’s “Featured Videos” banner, which stacked small frames of videos in a column of 10. Her team swapped these slots every four hours, giving YouTubers behind the videos they selected a guaranteed cascade of views.

There are two ways for a web page to write to the system clipboard: the old, deprecated [`document.execCommand`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/execCommand) API and the newer [`navigator.clipboard.writeText`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Clipboard/writeText) API. (Only the newer API was broken in Chrome version 104.) The newer API is significantly easier for web pages to use, because the old `document.execCommand("copy")` requires `window.getSelection()` to have a range of text on the page selected first, which may require adding an HTML element to the DOM. Whereas `navigator.clipboard.writeText` can write any arbitrary text to the system clipboard with no preparation required.
