I started a full time job this week, so I won't be posting during the day and some nights.

Tonight's Image Enhancement 🐞 Finally fixed that bug that caused the HSL view in the fx panels to suddenly shift hue wildly when sliding lightness. This was the longest living, most pesky bug. I dedicate tonight's image to its memory. #buildinpublic #indiedev #solodev

Color Extraction and Image Enhancement of the Night Did you know Saturday was World Pear Day? Party. For the pear. #buildinpublic #indiedev #solodev

I'm not the only one making color tools. Check out this beautiful project!

🦋 Debugging with ChatGPT tonight: AI: Problem is A. Me: Nope, see how it isn't A? AI: Ah, I see. Your problem is B. Me: Nope, see how it isn't B? I'm going to start taking out components to see if I can isolate the problem. Me: AI: That's the right strategy! Here is how you remove components. 🙄

Hey guys, my husband and I’s *award winning* 🏅📖 E-book officially releases today, if you like sci-fi at all give it a look. It’s only $5 and really helps independent authors get noticed. a.co/d/3JFZMpa

🦋 Great development day. Finished data reader and it is the fastest of its type I have ever written. Time for late night chess puzzles on chess.com (not sponsored). It's an up and down journey and I do the best I can. And yes, I have solved 33,163 puzzles. #persistent www.chess.com/member/frost...

Image Enhancement and Color Extraction Portrait of a Woman, Called Maria Taylor Byrd School of Sir Godfrey Kneller 1700–1725 #buildinpublic #indiedev #solodev

🦋 I am so inspired by the art on Bluesky. With people like you here, it feels like a home.

🦋 Okay, the color tool now enters the maintenance phase for a while. I have an opportunity I need to get on right now while the getting is good. The kind of opportunity that can cure diseases and save a life. It is also the kind that can pay rent. #buildinpublic #indiedev #solodev

🦋 I removed the in-canvas controls for post FX for now because they just got in the way. The kind of controls they really need are things like angle and center. The sliders make more sense for mix, thresholds, etc. #buildinpublic #indiedev #solodev

🚧 Massive refactor. Mutton core is now node.js compliant. New release system. Some bug fixes. Ahead Sheep seems solid right now. Tech debt fully paid with very little interest, since I designed the system to be highly maintainable from the beginning. #buildinpublic #indiedev #solodev

We walk the hard path to make it easier for the next ones!

🦋 US midwesterners often mistake confidence for arrogance. Confidence is when you say you're good at what you do. Arrogance is when you say you're better than others. It only becomes arrogance when you belittle other people. #indiedev #buildinpublic #solodev

Hai :D

As I’m building more and more, I totally get this ❤️

🦋 I love making software. It's my art and it's all I ever want to focus on. The world is too complicated, and my sight is too limited, to get distracted by noise I have no control over. Just trying to get better than I was yesterday. #indiedev #buildinpublic #solodev

Palette of the Night Saw blanket, sweater, and keyboard box and said, "Those colors look harmonic!" I used the mobile "small screen" mode to snap the picture and export the colors to Google Drive, then imported them to Ahead Sheep. And I was right! #buildinpublic #indiedev #solodev

OK, this took way too long, but I couldn't not add these to the site. 😅 GIFs everywhere!!! 🎉 Wishlist⇢ sloppyforgeries.com #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #art #digitalart #games #videogames

🐞 Fixed flip orientation issue in gradient view for custom sizes. Now, you can choose 2048² on the top and if the custom size you chose does not match any buttons, none of them will be chosen, but the custom size will show at the bottom of the gradient. #buildinpublic #indiedev #solodev

🐞 Fixed bug with Print Marks page where the regions were not tappable. 🤓 This happened because I added an SVG layer to the pinch view for the new in-canvas post-fx controls, but forgot that it overlaid the entire workspace, blocking taps and drags. #buildinpublic #indiedev #solodev

He would probably have a solemn reaction like this 🥀 I need to invest in a cat toothbrush ngl. little man got some bad dental genes 🥴

When you see a post starting with 🦋, it means it is a Bluesky exclusive: not on X or LinkedIn. Bluesky is Ahead Sheep's preferred platform (not sponsored).

🦋 Oof, I did not count on doing node.js stuff when I made Ahead Sheep. Separating out the DOM stuff from non-DOM is quite a task! Also, I used static classes for utils. Shouldn't have, so tree shaking didn't do as well either. Well, sleeves up, and hold my 🍺... #buildinpublic #indiedev #solodev

🦋 I'm excited to start a new project now that I have a mature framework. The timing is right and there is a deep industry need for what I'm going to do next. The color tool was fun, but it's time to make something that will pay the bills. Sheep has rent too. #indiedev #buildinpublic #solodev

🆕 In canvas controls for post FX. In response to a request. I will probably add more, but this is an Agile project, so I release often to get it in front of you, my beloved shareholders! #buildinpublic #indiedev #solodev

🦋 Bluesky Exclusive: Working hard on new pinch controls today for various effects (image might not reflect final product). Didn't want you to think I was slackin'. #buildinpublic #indiedev #solodev

🚧Gradient controls now depend on what you have selected in the two choosers. More controls to come. 🤓Since the refactor to use the two choosers, the site has become more absurdly performant because the DOM tree has less leaves on it. Good change for autumn! 🍂 #buildinpublic #indiedev #solodev
