New STRICH (strich.io) release undergoing QA. Important to test with real, physical devices, especially low-end ones. @infrequently.org has great guidelines for device selection here: infrequently.org/2025/11/perf...

Finally adding Micro QR Code support to STRICH (strich.io), my library for barcode scanning in the browser. Error correction is buggy, that's why it's scanning gibberish. Seems like I'll have to deep-dive into Reed-Solomon error correction – pretty fascinating stuff.

For the next iteration of strich.io, my JavaScript barcode scanning library, I‘m using animated SVG icons for switching cameras, zooming and flashlight toggling. It was fun to learn how to build these by hand, with the amazing Whimsical Animations course by @joshwcomeau.com. Highly recommended!

Having a lot of fun with @joshwcomeau.com new course "Whimsical Animations". Revamping some icons in my camera HUD. Hand-written SVG and CSS transitions, so much fun!
