Oh I see, you‘re not only talking about assignments.

I think your before example can be replaced by the logical AND operator (&&=).
developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...
It only checks for truthiness, not for nullishness. so it might be a little tricky in some cases.

Logical AND assignment (&&=) - JavaScript | MDN
The logical AND assignment (&&=) operator only evaluates the right operand and assigns to the left if the left operand is truthy.

🆕 I'm finally diving into the world of noise. This is a grid distorted by simplex noise and fractal brownian motion.
It's fun play around with but I'm not satisfied with the results yet. I want to try domain warping next!

🆕 I have refactored my interactive playgrounds to finally use relative units.
This makes them resilient to size changes which in turn allows me to switch up the page design a bit.

My soft-proofing saga continues:
Sadly colorjs.io doesn't support #CMYK yet.
After some research I found #jscolorengine which I can use to load the ISO coated v2 #ICC profile. I can now convert my colors from P3 to CMYK and back.
That gives me a good estimate of what the image looks in print. 🫠

So my trusted printshop told me I should try exporting my prints as PDF-X4. I was sad to see #inkscape does not support this. But I found #scribus which seems to be the holy grail.
The UI looks a bit rough. Just as any good #OSS does. But the color management options are just wow.

I've been adding a font-selector to the wordy-playground.
I thought I'd have to scrap the idea because the outlines were drawn weird. After some research I found the magic #CSS:
paint-order: stroke fill;
It cuts my stroke-width in half but that's fine.

🌟 I might have went a little overboard with the filters. But I was trying them out in inkscape so that I can include them in my tools. SVG in general are weird but maybe I get something out of it. Also, repeating gradients are great!

For those who don't know, this is an SVG in the browser. Depending on your machine, perf will still be bad. Reduce the number of shapes to get drastically better performance.
