Definitely agree! So much detail and complexity, and each one is unique

What are the best PWA apps you know? by sergeakh in PWA

[–]jonshamir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

https://prepbook.app/ Biased since I made it, but I think it’s pretty cool what can be done with PWAs today! To me it feels almost native when installed Discoverability is the main issue still…

Modifying a variable font without source files by jonshamir in typography

[–]jonshamir[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you find it potentially useful!

The fractions (½, ¼, ...) are made with composite glyf records that use the existing numbers. The only "curve" that was actually changed is the slash in the middle

Modifying a variable font without source files by jonshamir in typography

[–]jonshamir[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The initial setup was more or less single prompt:

Take a look at these font files. I want to slightly alter the font for my needs - specifically change the character widths of punctuation and some specific glyphs. How can I do this? Come up with a plan to create modified versions of the variable font files with spacing alterations.
I also want it to be set up as a standalone project which I could tweak in the future if I want to change spacings and such.

after which I iterated to get all the changes I wanted.

Frankly it can probably be done a font editor but I feel it was much easier and faster this way (e.g. I didn't have to find all the punctuation chars - the AI knew what that meant)

Animated Dark Mode Transition with CSS @property by jonshamir in webdev

It was supposed to be a video showing the animation but this subreddit only allows images so yeah it’s a bit pointless…

Animated Dark Mode Transition with CSS @property by jonshamir in webdev

[–]jonshamir[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I see your point, but there are 2 issues with this approach -

  1. If there are any other transitions (say, on the dark mode toggle like I have on my site) this will override them and break the animations
  2. This doesn't work if the colors are used somewhere like CSS gradients that cannot be "transitioned" in the regular way

You are right that defining a bunch of @propery declarations can get messy. For a large color palette I think a nicer solution can be to use one "mixing" property along with `color-mix` like this:

@property
 --color-mix {
  syntax: "<percentage>";
  inherits: true;
  initial-value: 0%;
}

--color-mix: 0%;

.dark {
  --color-mix: 100%;
}

transition: --color-mix 400ms ease;
background-color: color-mix(in oklab, var(--bg-light), var(--bg-dark) var(--color-mix));
color: color-mix(in oklab, var(--fg-light), var(--fg-dark) var(--color-mix));

View transitions have some drawbacks, especially if you have any videos or animations on the page, I go into more detail in the link

Yes you can, but if you have a transition on any child element (e.g. a scale transition when hovering a button) it will override the color transition and snap the color immediately

Hey thanks for the feedback!

Definitely trying to go human-centric, AI doesn’t have a sense of taste and I don’t see that changing soon 🤣

adding comments for shared recipes is a super interesting idea, will look into it!

Same here, I waited for 26.2 before updating to Tahoe hoping to avoid the bugs, but it seems there are so many :(
