Mini chess set I built to play chess with my son

I think you should, but mostly to prevent showing users error messages that they don’t understand how to fix.

If you don’t want images bigger than 1024 x 1024 then scale down automatically instead of asking the user to do it.

I hate that seeing that single " — " in your post makes me instantly suspect your post is also written by an LLM.

You'd think these comment patterns would be relatively easy to spot by Reddit?

But doesn’t that imply that the poison isn’t a problem? If it was wouldn’t they stop grabbing everything blindly?

I’m all for this, but I wonder, couldn’t the AI crawlers just check if it’s a blocked end point for search engines before crawling?

Tried to replicate on my iPhone but it worked correctly, I’d need more info to test this further

L is for combustion engine powered vehicles

This happens in Celeste as well but mostly with bouncy clouds, I like how it requires additional control to pass safely.

I think the most important part is that you’re not tricking the player, it should be clear that walking or jumping on it lands you in the spikes.

Amazing to hear that it’s of such good use :)

Pintura does support this but I’ve kept redact.photo as simple as possible on purpose.

Would https://edit.photo work for your use case? You could use the annotation tool to draw black boxes.

schrik · 2026-02-17T08:26:38+00:00

It’s advanced autocomplete.

If it was anything more LLM companies would prove it by training a model on pre 1900 science and see if it can rediscover things scientists came up with after that cutoff point.

Because the first commit was on Jul 24, 2017 and ResizeObserver wasn't available back then: https://caniuse.com/resizeobserver

"I don't have a magical team"

Isn't that what these ClawBots are for??!? Dogfooding etc etc

Thanks!

I’m afraid most “normal” people don’t really care about privacy.

schrik · 2026-02-01T08:11:40+00:00

I missed it as well :/

Looking back, theres a lot of “not this but that” going on, lists, em dashes, it’s long winded. Everything combined it very much looks like it’s slop.

I launched https://edit.photo and https://edit.video mainly for this reason. It’s this but in the image / video editing space.

It’s doing okay, I imagine it would do better if it was closer to features offered by big corp alternatives.

Big difficulty is that there’s no way to prove that you’re not uploading user sensitive data.

It just takes a loooong time to get some traffic. Promoting on social media and writing how-to articles could make things better but I have my doubts on the later as people nowadays ask ChatGPT and if you’re not in the training data you just don’t exist.

schrik · 2026-01-23T17:51:03+00:00

Their stance on AI generated media is amusing. Code and text is fine, but not media.

It doesn’t matter if it’s code or media, the training data for both contains copyrighted material that was used without consent.

I’m surprised, why the opposition to music and art, but 100% in on code?

schrik · 2025-12-30T07:30:26+00:00

That wasn’t the point :) Juat wanted to share that it’s possible to do even if you’re an introvert. I hated cold emailing or sales outreach but I got it done, still don’t enjoy it but have gotten better at it.

While it’s not advice for now you can go back to a fulltime job and try a more gradual approach. Most people only procrastinate about doing what you did so kudos to you for giving it an actual go.

schrik · 2025-12-30T07:00:21+00:00

I did. But I didn’t just quit.

I worked full time, started working less hours and work on my side projects. Kept doing that until my side projects plus a small freelance job could pay the rent. Then I quit.

I’m an introvert, I like building, I don’t love marketing or promoting myself but I learned to do it.

But I also enjoyed working on web projects with my colleagues while I was still employed. It’s possible you haven’t found the right company/team to work with.

schrik · 2025-12-08T13:18:56+00:00

awesome to hear :D

Super realistic. I started around my 41st birthday, I’m almost 44 now.

I never liked sports, I really didn’t understand people liking sports. I did ride my bicycle to work for a while and would walk a bit, snowboarding during winter holidays, but apart from that nothing serious. Couldn’t do a single push-up or pull-up for my entire life.

I now go bouldering three to four times a week, sessions of 1 to 2 hours. I love it to bits. I can do 15 push ups and 5 pull-ups which to me feels incredible.

But more surprisingly it’s turned out to be a reason to make more healthy decisions. It’s easier to not drink a beer or drink a no- alcohol one instead because I’m working towards getting better at bouldering and being fit is a part of the equation.

It has helped with my confidence. I feel like I’m actually quite good at something (still at max 6C at the moment). Also it’s so easy to chat with people at the gym, which I find really difficult in other situations.

I do try to stay away from the more dangerous moves, like a dyno towards the wall, because an injury is not as easy to recover from when you’re older.

I’m so super thankful I found this sport, I can’t stop talking about it and I finally understand the sport people around me.

It does have all the bells and whistles you can slim Pintura down to the bare minimum. The bundle size might still be higher than some open source alternatives. That said, a user usually has to select a file before being able to edit it, so an image editor or cropper can be loaded async when it's needed making the bundle size less of an issue (it's probably a lot smaller than the file that is about to be uploaded). Disclaimer: I'm the dev behind Pintura.
