Last year's shutdown of @glitch.com was a huge blow to my pedagogy. Glitch was ideal for creative coding classes and workshops. I looked around for alternatives. But there was nothing that was open, decentralized, and not at the mercy of VCs or Big Tech. So I built my own. Here's Glitchlet.

A new version (v0.1.8) of p5.plotSvg, my #p5.js library for plotter-oriented SVG output, is now out. It includes support for Inkscape layers, and several bug fixes. github.com/golanlevin/p... #plotSvg #creativeCoding #plotterArt

How fun is this? Watch an audience cheer and laugh in amazement over pixel zooming and an eraser tool. People had never seen anything like it. You can even hear Jobs saying "incredible" as Bill Atkinson demos panning around an image while zoomed in.

German public TV does not provide English subtitles. "Found" subtitle files are often not in sync. But it's possible to linear correct srt files by using subshifter.bitsnbites.eu and syncing the first subtitle's timestamps and the last in the file. It's a bit of work, but it works! #DIDit

We have built a raised bed in our campus garden and are now starting gardening.

For some super arcane deep cuts, I've ported JT Nimoy's "Textension" vector font (1999) and Douglas Hofstadter's "Letter Spirit" gridfonts (c.1987-1996) to p5.js, now available in my archive of p5-single-line-font-resources: github.com/golanlevin/p...
