20 Years Hitabis
Hitabis was founded 20 years ago! Of course, that calls for a celebration a day filled with experiences, memories, and time spent together as a team. We kicked things off with an initiative that showcased our understanding of Green Coding beyond software development. Inspired by our work with Oaklean, we planted a truckload of young […]

After all, there are so many AI tools that could handle these […]

Why Japanese websites are so cluttered
Japanese UX design stands out more for its abundance of information than for its minimalism: Anyone visiting a Japanese website for the first time often rubs their eyes in amazement at the garish banners, tiny text, and links stretching as far as the scroll wheel can reach. To Western designers, this seems like the opposite […]
Achieving More Sustainable Code with Oaklean
