Making things happen

I have spent the last fifteen or so minutes exploring the newly-released Internet Phone Book. The book is a collection of hundreds of websites, as well as stories of the web. When I first saw the book online, I knew I would love it: it’s a mix of old and the new. Holding the ...

Just gave @penpot a try for a project. It is much more mature than I had expected! But there are still quite a few bugs, quirks, and inconsistencies that make working with it very cumbersome. Still a way to go until this is a serious alternative to #Figma IMO.

Just to name just a few bugs: text is suddenly jumping to different positions, some gradients are flipped in the opposite direction while editing, I get sudden color changes for multiple elements although I was changing the color for just one element, and my collaborator can’t see images I added to the layout. Also, the color picker just stopped working completely in my project – whenever I want to pick a color, Penpot crashes.

And as the project has grown a little, zooming and panning is now starting to get really laggy… 😕

Hope the team fixes most of those issues quickly, because overall it definitely is an impressive open-source tool. 👏💚

DevTools features I like: Computed CSS

One of my favourite parts of working with the web is the developer tools available. With browser developer tools, we can inspect individual elements on a page. We can even move, edit, and remove elements. We can change styles, inspect the values of scripts, and more. There ar...

Honestly, the new Fujifilm X half looks really appealing. I think there should be way more playful digital cameras, too - like this one.

play; ground

I love playing with code in the browser. I often create blank HTML files to explore ideas and to learn. I like experimenting with CSS features I have never used in a new file so I can learn the fundamentals and explore. I can start from a blank slate and see how my code – and...

“This is not mixing!”

@danworrall is back and reviews an over-marketed AI-powered channel strip audio plugin that claims to do the hard work for you so that “you’ll effortlessly get your mixes spot-on 100% of the time”…

How do you expect it to end? 😉

The bookshop

Poetical Works of Scott read one of the titles on the shelf in the Poetry section. The word “Poetical” stood out to me; we would say “poetic” now. Language changes over time., I thought to myself. We simplify words; we make new ones; some words fall out of fashion; some are m...

Telemaco Signorini’s Waverley Bridge

Whenever I go to an art gallery, I strive to make sure I have time to see any Impressionist exhibits. Impressionism is my favourite type of art. Today, with no plans for the afternoon, I went into the National Museum of Scotland. I have been a few times, so I headed directly ...

A spring day in the city

The sky is wonderfully blue. I can’t see a single cloud. I wrote as I was walking through the park this morning. When I see the sky so blue, I cannot help but crane my head around to see whether I can spot a cloud. I couldn’t! Maybe there was one hidden behind the tall green ...
