You're right, there's no gradient.

Great game! I really like how it removes any possible letters or connections. I managed to finish two zanagrams without any wrong answers. It’d be great if there was a way to gain a “perfect” score.

Great game. I love playing chess so this is quite a unique way to play it.

One piece of feedback: dragging a piece on mobile seems inaccurate at times. I’m used to chess apps where it works great. Here it seems the dragged piece doesn’t always end up where I’ve left my finger. I’ve lost a few rounds like this.

I waited a couple of years to get one. Glad I got it last December. Wouldn't have bought at this new price.

It feels like the one used in the Papers, Please video game.

I'm building a small video utility app, built on top of ffmpeg. It allows you to convert from/to different formats, split a video into clips, combine videos into a single one, take screenshots…

Oh very interesting. Even with these restrictions, there are quite a few variations, and it seems only one ends up with white winning.

I'm all for creating new frameworks that are faster and more secure. But I don't see how this one relates to Wordpress (not in PHP, serverless, not "plug and play", dependent on Astro, "AI Native"…).

It looks like a good open source project, but just call it a new CMS. I think calling it a "spiritual successor to WordPress" is just to gain some marketing points.

These road signs are iconic. They’re noticeable but not distracting. They inform without imposing themselves. There’s something very soothing about them.

If you’ve ever taken the A10 motorway France between Bordeaux and Paris, it’s about a 500 km stretch that is fairly straight and, thus, a bit boring. But seeing these golden signs along the road was always a small event for me as a kid. They act as sporadic milestones: every time you see one, you know you’ve made progress and entered a new region.

I was expecting it to open the FFmpeg website at the end.

The website feels quite sluggish, especially when hovering color palettes. There's some missing CSS optimization here.

And I'm not sure what the point is linking to a Github repo that only has a License and a Readme?

Interesting. I used Expo recently and loved the development experience. I also built a simple iPhone app with Swift, and it was a decent experience. I have plans of building another iPhone app and was considering Swift again, which would make me miss building an Android app, but maybe Skip would allow me to do it anyways.

Thanks for the feedback. The toggle should be simple enough actually. Adding a soundfont is also a good idea (I'd never heard the term before).

Funnily enough, if you Google "Calibri", the page itself is in Calibri. I've never seen that happen for any other font.

Yes I think on mobile, having only the list scroll would be great. I actually had the Apple alarm interface in mind for a bit but thought implementing it would be more difficult. But you're right, it's probably a better experience.

Thanks, that's great feedback.

For number 2, that should be possible, since I have the position of each item in the list (and the position of the list itself. Using a <canvas> might be the way to go.

For number 4, my main concern would be that it would feel like "scroll-hijacking". What I did however is prevent the picked item from going beyond the list, in both directions.

Number 5 is a good idea as well, easy to implement.

That's a great idea actually. I'd have to find a way to highlight the possible landing spots.

Sorry, it's public now.

One of those apps that "just works". Been using it recently to share files between an Android phone and my Mac. Turns out it works better than Airdrop itself when I couldn't send a file from my iPhone to my Mac. Great user experience as well.

For reference: CUDA means "Compute Unified Device Architecture".

Having designed websites with Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator and Sketch, I absolutely love Figma and especially Auto Layout. I don't think people realise how annoying it was to design a list of repeatable items. There already was a concept of "smart object" or "component" that could be duplicated in instances with variations. But laying them out was really cumbersome: if one of the instance had a different height, it would mess up the design because all subsequent items would need to be repositioned. The gap between them was also not a value: it was just space that wasn't used, so you couldn't interact with this gap.

Auto Layout fixes all those issues: you have a list of items of variable height with a fixed gap. You can very easily add/remove/reorder items, without breaking your design. You can even make it wrap, with different column and row gaps, and thus replicate a flexbox layout with "flex-wrap: wrap".

Each item can either hug its contents, have a fixed width, or grow. That's essentially flex-shrink and flex-grow in Figma. So useful.

You'll also notice that prototypes have a "responsive" mode, and it's amazing how Auto Layout will easily adapt to _any_ screen dimension. If you create a data table with one column that "fills" the space, you have a responsive prototype right out of the box.

Also, you can now drag an Auto Layout and it will fill it with component instances and replace its text content, essentially allowing you to fill your design in seconds. Incredible.

If the author still wants to manually place frames around, they still can. Just use fixed dimensions frames, with fixed positioning. That's similar to using "position: absolute" in your CSS. It's just a different type of design. Nothing forces you to use Auto Layout.

Very fun game. Got 15/20. I think I'd do better at an HSL version.

A tiny numbers mobile game, playable on Android, iOS, and the web.

I still play that game! Fairly popular in France, but nobody seems to know it in England weirdly enough. The newer board is a bit less readable than the 90's version. I also play it on my phone, although the AI isn't that good.

Inter is a great suggestion to try out modern font features. The lab is really useful: https://rsms.me/inter/lab/

TIL you can grab the scroll bar on iOS!!

Thanks for this. Jumping to the bottom of a page was such a chore for me.
