An interactive keyboard that helps you memorize shortcut keys from several popular apps. (I really like keyboard shortcuts!) The studio that created this site made that “it’s faster than memorizing a cheat sheet and stickier than Googling the same shortcut for the tenth time.”

Hand drawn emojis. Frank Rausch, the author, shares the set as a font (*.ttf and *.woff2), images (*.png) and vectorized (*.svg). “Remember when the computers were fun?” he asks.

Opening up about my screen addiction on Manual in May drew a strong response. Among the many comments and emails I received, one message from a reader, R., stood out.

Buy a pro running shoes, drink whey protein every day, sign up and pay to run with other people and receive a banana and a cheap tin medal at the finish line.

Clicks, a US startup about to launch its first phone, told Mobile Time [pt_BR] that it is working to expand its presence in Latin America.
