  • Make texts fade in and out simultaneously ?

    Jump

  • Have you thought of splitting up the string into single letters and animating one letter at a time? The animation would be slightly different than the wipe animation you have going right now, but you wouldn’t have to worry about backgrounds anymore

    What are some good Subs on Lemmy that we should know about?

  • [help] Should I use Django for a small website?

    Jump

  • Yes! If you’re comfortable with Django, that’ll definitely work, not overkill at all.

    If you’re down to get your hands dirty with JS, Astro is really easy to learn and can be extremely powerful if needed. TypeScript or JSDoc will give you the types in JavaScript you’re looking for, and that’s built-in to Astro too. SvelteKit is similar to Astro’s syntax but has more powerful server-side tools built-in and is my personal favorite.

    Up to you, really just depends on how much you want to learn.

  • [Megathread] List of lemmy apps

    Jump

  • Lemmynade has a new icon:

    Also, the current focus is the desktop site and touch-friendly web app. iOS and Android releases are a lower priority for now so it might best to remove it from those lists until announced

  • [Megathread] List of lemmy apps

    Jump

  • Yep, that’s correct, it’s a touch-friendly installable web app. It’s still in the plans to have app store releases, but we’re quite some time out from that and it’s not a priority at the moment.

  • FOSS alternative to google analytics

    Jump

  • Umami is actually pretty great for simple analytics, has 3 websites in their free cloud plan, and is self-hostable. Plausible is also self-hostable. You can host them easily on your own machine with EasyPanel, CapRover, or Coolify

  • What's the latest project you discovered that made you go "wow"?

    Jump

  • Codeium for VSCode. Free alternative for GitHub Copilot and it works surprisingly well

  • How do you feel about TypeScript?

    Jump

  • I’d still have to do some refactoring in and around my classes though. There’s some syntax that is TypeScript-only, including things like extended classes.

  • What's the dumbest thing you've shipped?

    Jump

  • Next time keep it on a leash so it doesn’t run away

  • Adding "flashlight effect" but with white "darkness"

    Jump

  • I would look into a circular/radial CSS background gradient on a fixed-position fullscreen div with pointer-events set to none. You can make the center transparent and the rest whatever color/transparency you want. Then, use JS to set the circular gradient’s position relative to the cursor (use CSS variables if necessary)

    Perplexity AI, leveraging OpenAI’s GPT-3.5, offers a chat-based conversational search engine that provides precise answers to a wide range of topics, supports text or PDF file uploads for focused anal

  • Well it’s not open-source, but you can hook it up to Siri using Apple Shortcuts… 👀

  • Framework of Your choice and why

    Jump

  • I went from React → Vue → Svelte

    Svelte/SvelteKit is just so simple to use and feels closer to vanilla JS/HTML/CSS that I find myself missing it when I use the others. SvelteKit supports SSR, so if you’d like you can build out your whole backend API as well.

    Svelte has an awesome interactive tutorial you can jump into right away

    Come hang out at !sveltejs@programming.dev if you have any questions!

  • When sharing a post, or comment from lemmy, which link should you share?

    Jump

  • I’m trying to make this simpler with !lemmynade@lemm.ee. Sharing a post, thread, or single comment will always share the original link (canonical link) from the original instance, that way it is the most up-to-date version

  • Lemmy hot sort

    Jump

  • Hot is likely just a blend between Active and New to give you a good balance of popular content and encourage engagement with posts that were just posted. The algorithm could definitely be improved, but I’d bet as Lemmy grows in content and content creators Hot sorting will get better too

  • certain phrases preventing posting?

    Jump

  • Each instance has different word filters, thus each community has different filters depending on the instance it’s on. What community were you trying to post on?

    For example, you can find the word filter that lemmy.ml uses somewhere on this page here: lemmy.ml/api/v3/site

    It’s kinda messy, but it’s after/under “slur_filter_regex” and it’s written in a format called RegEx

  • Some images not loading, some threads not scrolling. Is it the site or the app (Connect)?

    Jump

  • There have been some users maliciously posting illegal images to target certain communities recently, thus some instances have removed recent image uploads or have disabled image features in some way. This attack was happening on lemmy.world, but other instances have taken action too. That at least could explain why you’re not seeing some images.

  • I was hired to fix, not to read 😤

    Jump

  • I’ve always been confused by “README”s. I wish the name was more self-explanatory
