I giggled but it’s dangerous as a prank (say if you were on that site during a break, then shared a screenshot of a design from your browser)

FWIW it took me waaaaay less time to import 30k+ photos from a Lightroom catalog to Capture one than into a fresh Lightroom install.

Granted it was a few years back, but we’re talking about minutes vs hours.

Love this. I especially liked shape based reflow example.

This is something I've been thinking for ages and would love to add to Ensō (enso.sonnet.io), purely because it would allow me to apply better caret transitions between the lines of text.

(I'm not gonna do that because I'm trying to keep it simple, but it's a strong temptation)

Now a CSS tangent: regarding the accordion example from the site (https://chenglou.me/pretext/accordion), this can be solved with pure CSS (and then perhaps a JS fallback) using the `interpolate-size` property.

Regarding the text bubbles problem (https://chenglou.me/pretext/bubbles), you can use `text-wrap: balance | pretty` to achieve the same result.

(`balance` IIRC evens out the # of lines)

No, neither solves the problem. And even if `balance` did work, it's not a good substitute because you don't usually want your line lengths to all be the same length.

Ha, I didn't know about that, I stand corrected, thanks!


text-wrap can help to balance out the number of words per line, but it still doesn’t eliminate the extra empty space on the right edge of the box.


Did you get this to work with docker where the agent/dev env would work on the host machine but the stack itself via docker compose?

Many of the projects I work on follow this pattern (and I’m not able to make bigger changes in them) and sanboxing breaks immediately when I need to docker compose run sometask.sh


Check your ad blockers. I needed to switch off the one blocking the gdpr consent banner


I thought it came back in a recent release, just before/around the time we got Opus with a longer context window by default.


Who is this for?


Is the computer in the room with us right now?


Your comment made me realise that there's logic to this (like this :), since in HTML we can:

    <li> do this
    <li> and this
instead of: <li> ... </li>

and <img alt='this'> instead of <img ... />

You might like Lisp, but what you're saying reminds me of the late 00s/early 2010s xHTML2 vs. HTML5 debate :)


I'm an avid defender of xHTML. You can pry it from my cold dead hands


You monster.


Thanks, I hate it :)
