@gw3m.bsky.social I'm writing a tool to converts MOD files into maxYMiser songs. I have successfully created song and voiceset data, which load and play in maxYMiser :) I want to create some basic instruments for the songs, but can't find any documentation on the file format. Does anything exist?

Simulating Container Style Queries with CSS Animations

Conditional layout in browsers where container style query support is lacking, using CSS animations.

Made a new Web Component: RichInput. It's a drop-in replacement for text-based <input> elements that can colourise user input. A "stylepattern" attribute accepts a regex pattern and the resulting capture groups can be styled using CSS `::part(group-n)` keithclark.github.io/richinput/

Using module `registerHooks` in NodeJS to intercept the assert module and return a Proxy that logs assertions outcomes to the console is a very simple way to build a unit test tool

CSS system colour differences in the wild: Safari uses `Canvas` for inputs, where as Chrome/Firefox use `Field`. In this screen grab, the browsers from left to right are Safari, Firefox and Chrome. In each browser, the left column contains my web component and the right is a native element

I wish browsers would expose their default style choices (colours, borders etc) to CSS so that, when creating a Web Component, I don't have to impose my opinionated, halfway house set of default styles on developers. I'd like to style elements that fit with the native elements, until overridden.

Working on a colourised input web component that can be used as a drop-in replacement for `<input>`. It uses a regex pattern (set via attribute) for capturing content groups and CSS ::part() for styling them. Now trying to find a way to proxy its DOM interface to the input in the shadow DOM.

A few years ago, I wrote a "JSON to Type Doc" tool, which I use for all JS/TS projects that talk to JSON-based APIs but lack type definitions. I've moved it to a more accessible location and made some improvements. I hope it's useful to some of you. keithclark.co.uk/apps/json-ty...

Added uniforms support to my <shaderview> Web Component. You can now pass data to a shader from JavaScript using `element.setUniform()`. There are some basic pointer tracking examples on the website. keithclark.github.io/shaderview/

Adding support for uniforms to <shaderview>. This example is an animated smiley that tracks the pointer position. Original shader can be found here: www.shadertoy.com/view/lsXcWn

I often go back through my old CSS experiments to see how things have fared over time. It's also a great reminder of how far CSS has come! Last time I checked this old "zero element" demo, it didn't work correctly in any browser: codepen.io/keithclark/p...

Updated my Shaderview Web Component to offload rendering to a Web Worker. The performance difference is massive now that the main thread is unblocked. I've also used an IntersectionObserver to pause running shaders when they leave the viewport. ⚡ keithclark.github.io/shaderview/

First experiment for shaderview will be offloading the renderer to a worker so slower devices stay responsive.

Working on a <shaderview> Web Component that can render GLSL fragment shaders into HTML documents. Shaders receive a limited set of uniforms (e.g. time) that can be set from DOM attributes/properties, allowing scroll linking and playback control. Shaders in this video are from www.shadertoy.com
