Today in thieves, cheats & grifters on the internet. Talent500, who have a gold check account on twitter, copied a few bits of my article that I worked for 3 weeks on. Could not even be bothered to copy enough to get to a working solution, stopped at intermediary steps. And "forgot" to give credit.

I've been enjoying your onehourjam games! I would've gone crazy on the Wrestling Manager as a 12-year-old. I always loved Football Manager despite not being into football *at all* Anyway, I admire your productivity! Thanks for the games.

FontJit just graduated to v1.1.0! 🎓 You can now also tap into the loading with JavaScript, listening to promises and doing your computer programming based on how they resolve. Still very lean at 743 bytes (minified and compressed, of course)

FontJit is a small utility to efficiently lazy-load fonts! 🚀 FontJit gives you full control over how and when your fonts are loaded, and what should happen before, during and after. Useful if you're working on font specimen sites, minisites, or huge font collections! ➡️

Hey, were we friends in the Twitter days? I don't seem to get much Engagement™ here on Bluesky and I wonder if that's because the algorithm is shunning me, or because I only post occasionally (cause: little engagement!), or maybe simply because nobody likes me here :P Anyway, wanna be friends?

I added a site-wide font size slider to the Wakamai Fondue bètà. It will change *all* font previews, even the ones that didn't have a font-size slider before!

I'm trying out a new variable instance preview on Wakamai Fondue Bětâ. Instead of the green/yellow wall of buttons, I simply preview all of the instances, including the line of CSS you'd need for them. Check it out on
wakamaifondue.com/beta/
and let me know what you think!

I just pushed a small change to
wakamaifondue.com/beta/
to improve the OpenType feature previews. I removed the randomized combinations as they weren't very useful and nobody seemed to like 'em. So the fondue now just shows *all* characters involved in the feature. Also, custom preview for `frac`!

My first real change to Wakamai Fondue's UI is to remove the donation button. It never worked: people only donated twice, and only after I explicitly posted about it on social media, which felt like begging. All donations have been re-distributed to the amazing folks who contributed code! 💸

Had a great conversation with
@sjoy.lol
today. We both toyed around with the web as a hobby starting in the late 90s, before eventually turning it into a career much later on. We talked a lot about that, but then got into accessibility and I just loved how she referred to it as "a heart thing" 😊

Spent the last few days doing some tidying-upping of the Wakamai Fondue codebase. Feels *good* to finally scratch some of those itches. Also, OpenType feature detection is more robust and doesn't take down the entire "Layout Features" section anymore if it crashes!

I just updated
wakamaifondue.com/beta/
again! If your huge font was stalling the fondue, it should work now. I applied supercomputer voodoo programming (a.k.a. memoization) so it can better handle huge charsets. It now parses this huge-ass 12MB font in 30 seconds on my machine!

Are your fonts breaking Wakamai Fondue? Or not all features showing up correctly? I'm looking for fonts to stress-test the fondue, especially the bétà. (Protip: if you open the developer tools, the console might have reported an error that the site itself doesn't mention!)

Unexpectedly, the CSSWG have accepted our proposal for a new <meta name=text-scale> tag!! This will change the initial font size based on the user's text size setting. Unfortunately it's going to become part of the boilerplate for every website you make! But will really improve a11y.

Help me find a C64 SID tune that covers the Last Ninja 3 water level? I never knew the Last Ninja version by Reyn Ouwehand, yet I know that melody at the start really well. But I have no idea where I heard it. Probably another Commodore 64 demo. Any ideas?

Hey Miriam! I was looking for the business site, but can't find it (it was business.³ wasn't it?) Anyway, still convinced that the choppiest of transitions between s and $ communicates *serious* business. Are you using plain Times? Would something like Merriweather work? Can hack s→$!
