Still sketching. 💪
Spotted a cute tiny restaurant in Amsterdam. I also bought more fineliners and the set included a brush pen which turns out to be great really high contrast sketches and value studies.

The perks of being a solo dev 👉 spend 2 days working on a rectangular progress indicator.
Why 2 days? Because spinning a rectangle is a bit tricky.
With a circle you can just spin the entire thing. With a rectangle not so much. So now I'm spinning a rectangle behind an SVG mask.

This online SVG path editor by Yann Armelin is so handy for cleaning up and/or adjusting SVG paths.
I'm currently using it to make some small tweaks to FilePond icons, just paste in the value of the "d" attribute and start editing away.

After searching around it turns out Chrome dev tools includes this handy "Speculative loads" utility.
The "Rules" inspector told me that I hadn't woken up yet.
Got coffee, fixed the JSON, reloaded the page, and now when I hover a link it starts prefetching the href content.
Push to prod! 🎉

Respect user preferences.
Years ago I published conditionerjs.com to help you conditionally load JavaScript modules based on the current user context and preferences.
Great DX if you’re into sprinkling a little bit of JS on top of your pages.

Turns out it wasn't the attribute selectors but the nesting. Lots of nesting in other CSS files, but that is apparently fine. No idea why this file is different.
This does work. 😮💨

I've narrowed it down to these four, if I uncomment one of them, it's game over. Not sure yet if these are directly responsible or if it's a downstream effect because of children / properties / etc.

Audrey Hepburn using black/white values only. Kinda proud, there’s not a lot of room for error when drawing with a black pen on white paper 😅

I can't believe it took met 10 years to realize you can stack multiple of the same transform functions.

Pintura font sizes can be set in pixels and percentages.
A font size set with a percentage scales with the image size, so is more flexible to use.
Previously manual input was only supported for pixel font sizes, I'm now adding percentage support as well.

I asked to be referred to an actual human, I asked the "actual human" that replied if it was an LLM, it immediately confessed it was not a human.
