Discovered this little #CSS trick by accident today.

You can play with the values to change how noisy or colorful the pattern is :)

Also, I made a browser game called Threeka! You can play it, if you want, at https://threeka.com

I haven't played around much with VS Code tasks, but I just configured one to check the current node version when I open a project and switch it over, if necessary. Expecting it to be pretty handy, since I've been burned one too many times by firing up a project in the wrong runtime environment, lol.
Welcome to my website! It is an endless barrage of slowly blinking skeleton loaders.
Will meaningful content ever load in to replace them? Who could say!
This headline in The Guardian broke my brain

@normplum@fosstodon.org Nice! It's a relatively new thing. Browsers are shipping so many neat little web standard features these days, I feel like I have that very same "whoa, I didn't know about this" moment once a week, haha.

@normplum@fosstodon.org If you're concerned about loading a ton of images all at once, when the user might not even scroll down to see them, you could just pop `loading="lazy"` on each `![]()
`. You'll also need the width and height attributes, if you know them, to support Firefox.
This should defer the request for each of those unseen images until they're actually in the viewport. Whether this is the right solution depends on the specifics of your project, but it's simpler than implementing pagination!
Threeka update! Found the time to implement a few items on my to-do list, including:
1. An audio mute button on the title screen
2. A new accessibility setting for players with colorblindness
3. A countdown-to-game-over meter that appears once you hit the top of the jar
4. An animation on the score box showing how many points you've just earned
5. Improved performance on the Learning Center (i.e. lore) page
6. A less frosted jar texture with improved edge definition

Whoa, the shadcn package init script silently commits its changes to your git repo with zero warning. Doesn't ask permission, just does it. And the commit message is utterly useless, too: "feat: initial commit".
It's a bit disconcerting, like opening your diary and finding that a stranger has written in it, lol.
