You can just make things.

for fellow freaks who want to render sheet music by writing plain text inside of markdown inside of Astro, well, I made something for you! astro-lilypond converts text to SVG and works in markdown or with a <LilyPond> component. zero client-side JS. 🎶 docs and install: lilypond.ky.fyi

Trying to figure out what’s clickable in modern UI

Back on my bullsh

how do people name aesthetics? one of the worst parts of trying to learn Blender is not knowing what to call the look I have in mind.

Today marks 20 YEARS since Animator vs. Animation by Alan Becker was posted to @newgrounds.com.

Being able to build apps faster than ever has helped me realize that building the apps was never the hard part. Marketing. Marketing is hard.

this demo from flipbook.page is pretty impressive! if you could get this immersive while researching a topic, I think the experience would be really good. Imagine if you could browse wikipedia like this?

`overflow: audio;` just sighs when content overflows the container

Loved this take. Not against AI as a tool, don’t want to lose what “good” looks like, and ultimately looking for like-minded people who want a high quality web.

Back when I was finding my feet in tech everybody was buzzing about building positive change. Somewhere along the way, something changed. Fortunately for us though, tech is not the first industry forced to defend itself against dubious practices. What might we learn if we were to look elsewhere?

Read this off a @swyx.io blog / freeCodeCamp interview from a while back, in the depth of the footnotes. No Zero Days. Loved it. www.reddit.com/r/getdiscipl...

making side bets on how many responses we can go before the AI chatbot suggests naming something "Nexus"

how it feels to get react native running again after an upgrade

How long has the `prefers-reduced-data` media query been in consideration? I like the idea of the web respecting my system settings, rather than me having to change my settings on every. single. site. Sometimes I’m running in low power mode and I want what I’m browsing doing less too.

I really wish Slack would let me visually shrink the link preview without deleting it. Right now on mobile, it takes up 50%+ of the screen and I end up ignoring it like an ad

Will never look at LinkedIn the same

Need sound on.

Still a favorite photo I’ve taken from a while back. Guess which one is the Figma design and which one is the production site?

Started messing with fragment shaders the last few days. Got something going quicker than I thought with Windsurf. Turns out AI is pretty good at helping you figure out the basics.

It is with a heavy heart I must announce I have to install Java

There are true gems hidden among the countless personal blogs scattered across the Internet. I wish there were a curated library with only great articles on a wide variety of topics—a kind of search engine stripped of all the clutter: no SEO gimmicks, no ads, just quality content.

I feel this with blogging. In case anyone needed to hear this—you can just write and publish on your blog because you want to. No metrics. No clout. This has always been my guiding principle with my blog (Pawlean.com) which is why 357 posts later, I’m still here. Even if NOBODY reads 😁

I feel like this site's demographics can be described as "still mad about the loss of Google Reader"

The smartest tech founder is My Space Tom: - Founds MySpace - Sells for $580 million - Lives his life in anonymity “Anderson is content to let his inspiration guide him rather than jumping back into the tech world because of the expectations of others.”

Myspace Co-Founder Tom Anderson's New Life as a Landscape Photographer

Tom Anderson is an astonishingly good landscape photographer, for a guy who's arguably most recognizable from a grainy, postage-stamp sized photo on Myspace. That's right: Tom, everyone's first friend...

CSS only balance slider ☕️ the trick: a scroll-driven animation on the [type=range] thumb that updates custom property values which are then used in a counter for the labels and to style the bar (few lines of JavaScript to "polyfill" it) video reveals the <input> 👇
