Notices by Chee Aun 🤔 (cheeaun@mastodon.social)

@_elena @eloquence I'm kinda on the fence here. I've observed that design communities actually prefer closed silos or smaller niche groups, judging from back-then Dribbble, to Designer News, and now read.cv/post.cv. There's this quote from https://web.archive.org/web/20241207043137/https://solomon.io/designer-news-is-dead/ :

> While this was a gated community, this place was just awesome. Now… listicles, how-to’s, ugly Dribbble shots, “trends” posts, endless UX hot takes, and run-of-the-mill “show site” submissions are the norm.

Been wondering how posts.cv is doing, despite all recent news and hype (Threads, Bsky, noplace, Cara, TikTok, RedNote, etc). Watching this thread https://posts.cv/andy/Db5bv6cPcpieNE8R7eYt to see where the folks will be migrating to.

@eloquence from what I observed, they're mostly designers or product folks from SF (+ their circles)

@dansup gosh some of the PRs are really scary huge changes 🫣

FYI for (new?) #Pixelfed users, using #PhanpySocial will show the media-first UI experience, implemented last year https://mastodon.social/@cheeaun/112286757479031305

@iss-location-bot who's in space now?

@dansup I thought those are per-country 🤔

My Web Development Wish List 2025:

- Play-pause-able GIF components
- Syntax/text highlighting for textareas
- Safe area inset debugging in dev tools device emulation
- Native emoji picker input field
- Native emoji fallback
- Native virtual list
- JS API for browser-native text translation and language detection
- Better MathML for LaTeX Math

15K dev minutes 😂 https://www.wrapped.dev/repo/cheeaun/phanpy

@_elena @stefan sure. I can’t keep up with all the various fediverse servers so bug reports would be useful 🙇♂️

@_elena there’s not much cost. Hosting is free, only the domain needs money.

@_elena yes, the readme has documentation on how to self-host and has multiple configurations for it. There are already a few “community deployments” https://github.com/cheeaun/phanpy

@stefan thanks. I've been waiting to see this one day (on Phanpy) 😂

@stefan you deleted the post? Would be cool to see how it looks on all other clients (and screenshot them) 😆

@stefan I don't see it as obnoxious tho'. As Mastodon is not the only fediverse server, this will happen one day, sooner or later. It's also no different than super-long posts from servers with increased character limits.

For Phanpy, I anticipated this, but polls UI is the only one I purposely left out as I need to observe if there's any such posts. One use-case I anticipated is more-than-4 media attachments (Mastodon sets max 4, but there could be > 4), which Phanpy already handles.

Random thought. Is the 🆓 emoji localized?

How about 🔙🔚🔛🔜🔝?

#emoji

Cool.

lol I was mass editing files with Copilot until exceeded API rate limit, it even auto log-out of VSCode 😂

Context: I was using it to "codemod" (better find/replace?) whole bunch of files.

@timbray $USD10/month.

I was on the early beta (free), then paid for a year ($100/year) when it's out of beta. After that, I stopped paying.

Cool that @cwebber is always pushing the limits of Phanpy's UI/UX+code/perf 😆
