Vous savez ce moment où vous regardez votre historique Git et vous vous demandez qui est le débile qui a écrit ce code dégueulasse ?

Ah bah ouais, c’était vous il y a 3 mois ^^. Eh bien GitType a trouvé la meilleure des thérapies qui est de vous faire retaper tout ça, lettre par lettre, comme une punition de primaire version développeur, totalement gamifiée avec des points, un chrono, et la possibilité de mesurer à quel point vos doigts sont devenus flasques depuis que Copilot fait tout le boulot à votre place.

Le tagline du projet, c’est “Show your AI who’s boss: just you, your keyboard, and your coding sins”. Et c’est pas une blague, c’est un manifeste car pendant que Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude Code et compagnie écrivent du code à notre place, GitType vous fait faire exactement l’inverse… il vous force à retaper du code pour redevenir bon !

Et contrairement aux tests de frappes classiques comme Ttyper ou tt qui vous font taper du texte générique, GitType utilise du VRAI code source. Votre code, celui de vos repos préférés, ou des repos trending de GitHub. Comme ça, vous ne vous entraînez pas sur du “ the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog ” à la con, mais sur vos propres merdes spaghettico-syntaxiques en Rust, TypeScript, Python ou Go.

Le jeu vous propose plusieurs modes. Y’a le mode Normal pour vous échauffer tranquillement, le Time Attack quand vous voulez vous mettre la pression, et des niveaux de difficulté de Easy à Zen pour ceux qui veulent méditer en tapant du code. Le tout avec un tracking en temps réel de votre WPM (words per minute) et de votre précision. Comme ça, plus vous progressez, plus vous montez dans le ranking avec des titres de développeur qui évoluent.

GitType supporte plus de 15 langages de programmation et propose plus de 15 thèmes visuels en mode Dark ou Light, avec possibilité de personnaliser le vôtre. L’installation est simple…

Apple might be busy commanding the spotlight in the tablet world once again, but bigger screens do not always mean fewer headaches. These oversized digital companions can boost what you get done, but they also tend to double the distractions and leave your eyes feeling like they just ran a marathon. It is a classic case of more is not always better, especially when it comes to how much time you spend staring at glowing rectangles.

That is where E Ink, and specifically the BOOX Tab X C, offers a breath of fresh air. Unlike the glare and constant flicker of ordinary LCD or OLED tablets, E Ink technology is famously gentle on your vision. BOOX’s latest and largest Color E Ink tablet promises all the familiar perks: less eye strain, long battery life, and a reading experience that feels almost like paper. If you are looking for a healthier way to stay productive, this gentle giant might be exactly what you need.

Designer: BOOX

E Ink is not just about being easy on the eyes. It is also a champion when it comes to stretching battery life way beyond what you would expect from a big tablet. With no backlight constantly draining power and smart refresh rates that only update when you need them, you can read, write, and organize your day for hours without hunting for a charger. The crisp, high-contrast display makes reading a joy, whether you are flipping through a novel, marking up a PDF, or checking a contract.

Of course, E Ink screens come with a quirk: slower refresh rates and more muted colors. It sounds like a disadvantage, but it is actually a secret weapon. Social media feeds, video binging, and fast-paced games lose their grip when swiping is not buttery smooth and colors are a bit more subdued. Suddenly, it is easier to focus on what matters, and those endless distractions start to fade away.

The BOOX Tab X C truly stands out with its massive 13.3-inch Kaleido 3 Color E Ink display. It is nearly A4 in size, which means you can view documents at their original scale, and even run two apps side by side without feeling cramped. Whether you are juggling spreadsheets, reading academic papers, or sketching out ideas, there is room to breathe and multitask.

Running Android 13 with the Google Play Store pre-installed, this tablet opens the door to nearly any app you could want, from Kindle to Kobo and beyond. You can even sneak in a YouTube break if you are determined, and BOOX’s BSR tech does its best to make even videos look bearable on E Ink.

The Tab X C swaps out Wacom in favor of BOOX’s own pen technology, but unless you are a digital art purist, you will probably find it more than up to the task for notes and casual sketches. At $819.99, it is a serious investment, but if you value your eyes and your focus, the BOOX Tab X C is a big leap in the right direction.

“Working lying down is seldom seen in office environments,” pointed out Timothy Widmer, a student at Lucerne School of Art and Design. Lying down is often associated with relaxing – the antithesis of productivity and professionalism – but if the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that we don’t need an ‘office chair’ or a ‘cubicle’ to work. You could work from a high-chair, a beanbag, a recliner, a sofa… so why not use that as a starting point to revisit how furniture can look and behave?

Designer: Timothy Widmer

Meet Gustav, a 4-piece modular furniture set that comes together in a variety of ways. Its odd shape strays away from any kind of traditional furniture – it looks nothing like a chair, a stool, a sofa, or a pouffe. Once put together, however, you get to understand the kind of freedom and flexibility it brings, and how it could possibly be used for a variety of activities.

The Gustav is position-agnostic. It allows you to use its shape in whatever way you choose. You can sit on it like a stool, recline backwards with your legs stretched out, or even folded in. The stool’s rear space (behind the recliner) lets you store books, EDC, chargers, cables… and the cuboid-shaped pouffe at the end doubles up as a side-table just in case you want one.

A cushion strapped to the recliner can be moved up or down, giving you the height-adjustment you need

“The multi-components allow different constellations to be created – from an individual workspace to a conversation pit,” says Widmer.

Ultimately, a lot of Gustav’s success depends on the upheaval of corporate work culture. Whether offices embrace relaxed working as a practice isn’t something the Gustav can control – but it does pose a very interesting schematic for coworking spaces, cafes, and even lounges at airports. And it asks a rather fundamental question too – if productivity is a state of mind, why does the way you’re seated matter SO much?
