Doing French landscape value studies. I love those skinny tall trees they have here.
I just hired David Lanham to do the artwork for the FilePond landing page! Haven't been this excited in a long time :D 👉 dlanham.com
A misty forest path on a cold winter day. I should’ve done the value study before the color version, you live and learn.
Dialog view transitions with invoker commands. 1. Intercept the "command" and "cancel" events. 2. Run startViewTransition(), in the callback move the view-transition-name from the <button> to <dialog> (and back). 3. Then call `showModal()` or `close()` to toggle the dialog.
Portugal Algarve cliffs, two attempts in watercolor. During my first try I got a bit carried away with the dark colors. It’s still not where I want it but I’m really happy with the progress.
it's not just presentation, it's buggy. FYI it's referencing an element in ShadowRoot so perhaps that's related. It also doesn't happen consistently.
commandforcommandfor 🤷♂️ Dev tools when using `commandForElement`. Firefox and Safari are fine, but could be better. Chrome dev tools looks like it's broken. I guess dev tools still need to catch up to this API?
Anyone at @bsky.app know why some of these stars in the splash screen are smudges? Is it a rushed design job? Are they exposure streaks caused by planetary rotation? Are these satellites moving quicker? Perhaps the motion blur on fireflies? What’s going on?!
The LLM couldn’t do what a front end dev can, instead of: - identifying the horizontal scrollbar - noticing it aligns with the resize button - determining that it must be the textarea that is the culprit - assigning `overflow-x: hidden` to see if the scrollbar is gone It spent hours building tools.
Finally had some time to polish the FilePond v5 docs navigation. Added bullets and each reference entry now has a "kind" symbol making it easier to discern types.
Today I created a FilePond v5 S3 integration prototype and learned how to paint basic trees 🌳
I finally got that one brush stroke sky I’ve been chasing. Next attempt I’m going to focus on the trees. I got a bit carried away painting small details instead of identifying and painting dark/bright shapes. But overall I’m very pleased.
