Here as well…

I love you

It BSODs!

I think most people (safely) assume that saying such a thing won’t cause this response and some might say it because they find it a funny thing to say. I can imagine some people in my close circle of friends/family that might say it, but if they’ll find that it caused such a disastrous situation they will feel very bad…

Fonts are awesome, I once made a font that embeds (guitar) chords as ligatures, so when you write the they “stick” to the words they belong to.

Assuming you live in Germany you could type “14:00 in LA”

What you suggested lastly is possible, most work will be coming up with a dumbed down editor for such a font. Per each ligature, the user should be able to provide a SVG(?) and control its y-offset and scale (currently I use the same values for all the ligatures).

DM me at Twitter (@verydutzi) if you want to talk about it, I’d be happy to!

Another thing about these chords ligatures is that they are “zero-width”. When you type /a/ it will get replaced with a the ligature for the A chords, which is a the shape of “A”, above the line (translateY: -150%), and report “advanceWidth: 0”, so the next character shares the same X position. Now, if you want to add m6 to it, I technically cannot support rendering it “to the right of the A”, since its width was set to 0. So I need to pack the font itself with both the A and the Am6 ligatures…

I think a more “advanced” use case like the one you described can be addressed by something like https://lilypond.org

Not sure why you got downvoted as well, that was very educating.

I never studied music theory, but I play guitar for >20 years, so I just picked some library I found that listed a few common chords, and put it there.

I never (knowingly) played a D6, so didn’t know to look for that one in particular :)

I’ll add the option extend the list, and see if I can find a better list of defaults.

The thing about those ligatures is that each one adds a bit to the font’s weight, they’re not referencing one another - it’s a lot of duplicated “paths” (and IIRC I can define up to 65,536 in total).

If memory serves me right, Mari uses it for her art.

Nice! Check out Konva and React Konva as well :)

~2 years ago I used it to create a dashboard (a fancy table) that renders some data it fetches sporadically from the web.

It was a lot of fun to make and stylize, but felt slower than it should. I guess it was the “layout stage” (IIRC lots of h/v-boxes).

It was 2 years ago and seems like it’s been well maintained, so maybe they sorted those things out.

There was also the Adobe Loves Apple campaign

Lovely website <3

Lovely website!

A popular story told to Israeli Defense Army soldiers who serve at checkpoints is of this gesture: https://i.ibb.co/ZBJSY1c/image.png

Apparently, in Italy it sort-of means "go f*ck yourself" (for Italian hnewers, this means "please wait" for the rest of the world).

The story tells about a soldier who once did that gesture to a car carrying some Italian politician, on their way to the West Bank.

Don't remember the rest of the story now, but it did not end well.
