Overview
This release adds the Flintfox case study and a new Field Note by Michael Gunner, our Tech Lead: ‘Standardise the foundations, not the brand experience’. It also upgrades the site to Astro 7, improves project and Field Notes discovery, and gives designers a manual GitHub Actions workflow for refreshing case study images.
