I am so excited to finally share this. I've been working on it for so long, and, with this version, it finally feels real. Zero-config. Instant deploys. Superpowered markdown. This is the website builder I've always wanted.

Genuine question about #atproto: How will the economics work when developers start dumping users’ app data onto their PDSs? From a developer’s point of view it’s unlimited free data storage, right?

There’s some nostalgia colors for you.

Supposedly brussels sprouts have been engineered to taste better, which is awesome because I friggin love brussels sprouts.

When I set this up, I made the avatar and header change to match the latest palette, but I just updated it so that the horse’s mane is a different color from its head. It’s all in the details.

It's giving Bauhaus. I rewrote the bot logic to make the output feels a bit less surreal. I think it would be cool to assemble a directory of these palettes using the generated names. "Which theme is your blog using?" "Industrial Renaissance, of course."

Well that’s lovely.

I revamped the @color.horse generator to produce more coherent motifs and include an explicit link to the full palette. Subscribe for daily color inspiration 🎨

ok, its time to try my way now. what if we just trusted one another and promised to be good?

I love this effect! The ball's motion stays constant. The only thing that changes is the shadow animation, and that's enough to trick our brains into thinking the ball is moving back and forth *or* up and down. The shadow positions the ball in 3D space. 🤯 🔗 @codepen.io: codepen.io/editor/amit_...

Are you looking for a color scheme that conveys the crippling burden of the panopticon? Look no further!

markdown doing the heavy lifting

I love it.

I love how weird these are, but I concede that they are not working. I think I need a new system.

Typo is human watermark.

Do not try to generate random output with a machine designed to generate statistically probable output.

I have a favor to ask 🫣 Today is my first promotional push on this project that I've been working on for almost three years. If you can, please spare a like, repost, or comment on the post below! (Or, better yet, send me a message with your thoughts — positive or negative.)

Oh, and I forgot to mention: It publishes any atproto lexicon from markdown directly to your PDS.

Here's how to build a wardrobe that lasts 10+ years. 🧵

As a big fan of @standard.site I wanted to write down some thoughts on where I think it could improve and grow, highlighting some of the rough edges I have bumped into. I would love to just see this grow! jola.dev/posts/though...

LLMs are very useful if you use them for unoriginal work. But they’re also weirdly useful for a type of work where you need to identify something that is implicit in collective knowledge but generally unstated, like “what is the most random number?”

I’m almost done the docs for @vowel.cc v0.7, and this feels like a really big push, but I’m so excited to get it out. I want this to be the best way to make a website. I dunno if it’s there yet, but I’m really loving the dogfood.

Some actual data on the Yandex DC drone strikes

My conspiracy theory is that @jevbot.bsky.social is a horse_ebooks-style troll.

I'm rewriting my icon selector and title generator for these, and jeez it's hard to name color palettes.

Plz give me your opinion

Question for folks who use #markdown: I'm working on conventions for metadata. For example, title and date: # Hello 10/31/25 What about this for og:description: # Hello 10/31/25 Lorem ipsum. --- Dolor sit amet. Is a single generic paragraph above an <hr> a good convention?

wait RYB in a picker?? ok that's sick, my whole color intuition still runs on kindergarten paint mixing (red + yellow = orange forever)

I added two new selectors to color.horse: "Color Wheel" emulates additive and subtractive color models with "RGB" (red-green-blue) or "RYB" (red-yellow-blue). "Gamut" optimizes the palette for screen or print by limiting available colors.

Woah. Buckminsterfuller minesweeper.

Same vibe.

Some of these definitely read as surrealist pop art.

This is some lovely aquatic color palette inspo. Get the hex codes for the whole palette in the linked color scheme. #design #graphicdesign
