@lnkr Thanks + do let me know how you get on 💕

Just added a code breakdown for the Draw Together¹ Kitten² app to my blog post with the tutorial video:

https://ar.al/2024/03/26/draw-together/

Draw Together, in ~50 lines of code, is a real-time collaborative drawing tool on a 20×20 pixel grid where people can click to toggle the colour of each pixel.

(The full source and explanations fit the four screenshots on this post.)

PS. Thank you to everyone who reported the issue – I appreciate it.

:kitten: 💕

Right, I just fixed the dark mode colour contrast regressions I introduced this morning and the Kitten web site now conforms to WCAG 2.1 AA in both light mode and dark mode.

Let this be a lesson to you: remember to test both your light and dark mode styles for accessibility.

(PS. TIL that overriding CSS variables in :root {} also overrides :root nested in @media blocks. I’d have thought those would have greater specificity. See https://codeberg.org/kitten/site/commit/a8983f9e0c52b2ea5c8e05368c09f73a649ce546)

I feel J.D. Vance so much. Why is it allowed for fact checks to interfere with my so well constructed opinions?

@forgejo @silmathoron Congrats :) 🎉

@EndIsraeliApartheid Sometimes you see someone who makes you wish hell actually existed.

Hey, don’t worry, chum, it was all just good business. All just good capitalism. https://mstdn.social/@DemocracyMattersALot/113323083522065435

I don’t know who needs to hear this but if you’re having this much trouble differentiating yourself from a malignant narcissist convicted felon, maybe you could try not funding and arming a fucking genocide.

@tychotithonus Ah, crapitalism strikes again.

@josh @kathimmel Silicon Valley is one helluva drug.

@niqwithq Some of us are trying to do just that :)

@LauraleeDukeshire @davidarnell Not just conservative parties either but also neoliberal ones, which are often shown to the be only alternative in two-party systems.

Folks, I’m aware I broke dark mode; will fix, just finishing up lunch :)

@nulll I’m not sure I follow.

@nickcolley Thanks, will fix :)

@pieceofthepie @lnkr Actually, I also know why it’s happening :) Shouldn’t be a hard fix.

@pieceofthepie @lnkr Thanks, lunch almost done; will look into this first thing.

@lnkr Ah, carp, dark mode? Which browser/platform. Will have a look after lunch - thanks! :)
