45 minutes from 0 to a new app icon. Watch the 2022 GNOME app icon workflow. I don't think I make a single remark during the whole thing ;)
Really appreciate the free software tooling for all this. Thank you!

So remember how I was saying you shouldn’t have to know or care if your operating system is immutable for an immutable operating system to be usable by everyday folks? (You know, clever folks, like brain surgeons and astronauts, not just your regular garden variety tech hobbyist with time to spare following instructions from a wiki.)
Seems others think so too… #VanillaOS sounds very promising. #Fedora #Silverblue folks should take some notes.

You’ve heard of lorem ipsum, now meet… *meta* lorem ipsum!

So, folks who build web sites, I just added this conditional syntax to Kitten HTML template strings. Thoughts?
(See third code example. The is().yes().no().endIs() function chaining. My goal is to provide an alternative to the JavaScript ternary operator that’s easier to read. Does this succeed? Any suggestions?)

Lipstick on a Pig: learning the most important lesson in design
I just released a little tool called Lipstick on a Pig for GNOME that helps keep the visual appearance of command-line applications that implement custom colour themes for syntax highlighting in sync with the current light/dark mode setting of your s…Aral Balkan
Wow, I just accidentally realised that Helix Editor’s increment number feature (Ctrl+a) can understand dates, even those embedded in URLs.
What a delight :)
(To go from the partial URL in the first screenshot to the second, I just had to press Ctrl+a once.)

And, finally (there’s so much more but I’ll stop raving now and get back to work), the web-related features, like a built-in accessibility and scripting panel and access to the SVG source, styling, etc.
If you’re creating illustrations for the web (or, heck, in general) and you’re not using this absolute gem of an app, you’re missing out :)

Question to JavaScript folks who have experience with Node.js… how does the following (theoretical) code listing for a server-side route that renders an index page with a count that’s persisted in memory on the server and updated any time someone loads the page read to you?

E-Ink Design Principles for Web and Applications
... I’ve looked for existing sets of guidelines without luck, so apparently I get to draw my own line in the sand. An earlier version of this post proved popular on Mastodon, I’m expanding it here. This is a first effort and some of my suggestions may not hold up, though I hope most will. Further discussion on that point at the end of this post....

- Pixels are cheap

I felt this needed and deserved a post-length treatment and so it has one.
I'd very much like to hear criticisms / improvements.

This issue summarises the issue and suggests a good solution (to have an option to override just the color-scheme setting without disabling fingerprint resistance in general).

Right, so there is such a thing as going too far… this should at least be a configurable option so that folks who want web sites to adapt to their system light/dark mode settings can have that.
There’s a line between protecting people and being paternalistic. And I can’t believe I’m the one having to say this but privacy isn’t the only concern when designing (e.g., in this case you might be overriding someone’s accessibility preferences).
I love the system-wide light/dark mode support in GNOME 42. And wouldn’t it be even better if light mode extended to the system elements too?
Elliott Shugerman has made a great start on this so I just opened an issue to encourage the GNOME devs to consider it as inspiration.

Given the production values, I’m assuming they’re VC-funded but, regardless, @charm are doing some really interesting work in command-line apps via ssh (and all their stuff is open source).
Take the VC/corporate focus away for a second and their approach is actually very similar to that of the small web (ar.al/2020/08/07/what-is-the-s…), only on the command-line and with ssh.
Lots to learn from their approach for making traditionally complicated things easier to use.
What is the Small Web?
Today, I want to introduce you to a concept – and a vision for the future of our species in the digital and networked age – that I’ve spoken about for a while but never specifically written about: The Small Web.Aral Balkan
So the hyperspace “page” transition effect on Federico Dossena’s web site is bellissimo :)
(Warning: there is a white flash during the transition so perhaps avoid if you have photosensitive epilepsy, etc.)

Hmm, an #intro. I'm a farmer at birdsongorchards.com. We grow 200 varieties of fruit and we have a you-pick rose field. Come on by if you find yourself in the Monterey Bay area!
I also #design #software, most recently for sage.com.
I'm a longtime member of the lines/monome #music community and I'm a huge fan of the Disquiet Junto weekly provocations (though the results of any inspiration I might find are often kept private).
Trying to get better at #painting. Trying to get better at #drawing. Trying to get better at making the computer do these things too, sometimes with the help of some machine learning.
I'm trying to get better at being comfortable with ambiguity. Many things are neither good, bad, nor neutral. Stuff can be complex and multifaceted, containing multitudes.

Hi all, Roel he/him.
An artist and designer with an interest in computer networks, materiality of the internet, digital community infrastructure, DIY/DIWO approaches, FOSS culture.
You might know my work from the LowTech Mag's solar powered server project solar.lowtechmagazine.com
Currently pursuing a #PhD in Interaction and Participatory #Design at Malmö University. As part of that research I work together with actors in the cultural sector to co-design alternative social media infrastructures with/for them. These are mostly based on fediverse applications, so I am also interested in aspects of #federation #governance #contentmoderation and more generally how to transition to and improve alternatives together etc. This space is far from perfect and in some cases insufficient but we need to start somewhere??
I'm a founding member of varia.zone, and also part of lurk.org. With LURK we've been running a fediverse instance called post.lurk.org since 2018, for which I am happy to be one of the co-admins! As part of that I boost #introductions, calls and questions..
This is introduction is really long because post.lurk.org has a character limit of 1337
