Speaking of RSS, a new reader just dropped from @terrygodier.bsky.social. I'm intrigued 🧐
This one does away with unread counts and follows a different design philosophy to what I'm familiar with, with older articles fading away (configurable) after some time 👀

No more stalling, once I get a copy of my data it'll be goodbye Discord.
In the meantime I'll do the rounds to try and follow good folk on other platforms, or (hopefully) via RSS 🤩

Last week when adobe said they were gonna discontinue animate I got really angry and started building my own animation program. I’m calling it FrameBoy.
I want it to be a free animation program for everyone forever.

Bases search is here! (early access) 🥳🤩
I know we could do stuff with filters, but it's so much easier to just hit CTRL-F and type. I just gave it a test and it's working really good for my collection of over 200 items.
the CLI looks neat too, might need to give that a try one day.

broke down how I built the CRT effects on hypertext.tv entirely using vanilla CSS 🧵
hey! thanks :)
there are a few different effects going on here, and they're all made with vanilla CSS. i'll try to break them down.
this is what the general markup looks like. there's a television wrapper with a few overlay layers: the two we're interested in are .screen-blur and .scanlines!
