I have a few comments unrelated to high DPI that could better the readability, slightly: The indents of the first line of the paragraphs are not necessary as the paragraphs are already spaced vertically. Chose one: vertical separation or in

While setInterval works, requestAnimationFrame(time) is probably better suited for animation purposes.

That’s why I wrote “Dropbox was…” in my lament.

I’m looking forward to test this client…! Dropbox was an exceptional product with perfect OS integration and interesting features like the “public folder” with an added web server, a versioning system, etc. My use case was not storing big

A few: - Many dialogs (like “Resize canvas”, “Transform”…) don’t hold the values when re-opened for a second time - No “trim” function - Crop tool is imprecise, no snapping, no numeric input - Quick masking is strange - Macros don’t allow c

I switched to Affinity almost immediately and it was liberating to free my machine from the Adobe Cloud bullshit… Unfortunately I have to say that Affinity Photo is still not good enough for my use cases: the difference lies mainly in the m

Strange. In which situation exactly if I may ask (sorry if I’m using the thread for debugging purposes)?

That’s a very slick page! By inspecting the animated diagrams they switch from text rendering in a PRE element to a CANVAS renderer when the page width shrinks below a certain size.

Thank you, will fix! Note: some CSS attributes for the pre (or canvas) can be set trough an exported “settings” object: export const settings = { fontFamily : 'Monaco' }

The “r”, which looks a bit like a hook, is what makes this font special. The reason it was chosen is that the name of the website contains an “r”…

I adopted this style for a while (I mostly code individual and personal projects so I’m not obliged to follow style-guides) but reverted back… This looks better in monochrome text but usually the editor colors allow a fast distinction of th

You are very cautious with me in not taking any offense; thank you (I won’t)! For me the aligning and the subsequent empty space which is created between the two columns allows very fast skimming in the values of -both- columns. I don’t h

I always line up columns like the example above. I think it is a distortion from my background in typesetting and graphic design, but the readability improves greatly… for me at least! const style = { x : 3, y

No mention of the open source font Hack (maybe because it doesn’t fall into the category of great personalty, but there are many options to customise it…), so here it is: https://sourcefoundry.org/hack/

There is a bug in Safari’s inspector where the line number is omitted if the error is generated inside an ES6 module... For me it’s basically impossible to develop and debug on Safari. I submitted this to WebKit months ago. https:/&#x

Thanks :) Both Python (v2 and v3) servers work more or less but they have an issue: the first page load takes about 30 seconds on my machine, usually. I never figured out why exactly and that’s why I started using the PHP server.

I used it as a quick html server as an alternative to the Python “simple” ones, which always had some issues for me. Useful when coding small demos: php -S localhost:8000

My domain with the associated email is https://ertdfgcvb.xyz (and .ch, .com): I felt so clever and proud when I came up with it until I had to spell it on the phone. At least it’s easy to type…

I love ST. As many stated here one of its strengths is speed: I “close” the editor when I’m done with it and I reopen it when needed: the boot time is <1s; but the speed is not just loading, it’s all over the application. It really feel

Slightly off topic rant: Safari’s dev tools are completely unusable too: most of the times the line number of a (JS) error is absent or wrong, especially if the error originates from an ES module (I submitted several bugs to webkit). It’s a

We proposed – as a counter-point to the many “light-festivals” – a festival of darkness: all the lights of the city would be off for one night. It didn’t get trough, unfortunately.
