Built this desktop-inspired startpage entirely in vanilla JS years ago - been using it daily but the code under the hood is a mess. Gauging interest before I commit to refactoring it into a proper browser extension... would you actually use this? #startpage #javascript #webdev #frontend

After a few months away, nice to get to work on a personal project again. v2 of my personal site janton.dev is up and operational. Nothing too fancy, but that's how I like it 😄

"There’s real value in faster prototyping, scaffolding, and automation. But LLMs don’t remove the need for clear thinking, careful review, and thoughtful design. If anything, those become even more important as more code gets generated. ... That’s still the bottleneck. Let’s not pretend it isn’t."

ordep.devWriting Code Was Never The BottleneckLLMs make it easier to write code, but understanding, reviewing, and maintaining it still takes time, trust, and good judgment.

If anyone needs it, (and for future reference) this is a solid mp4 to gif conversion command with ffmpeg, crisp output + minimal file size ffmpeg -i fileName.mp4 -ss 5 -loop 0 -filter_complex "fps=30, scale=-1:720[s]; [s]split[a][b]; [a]palettegen[palette]; [b][palette]paletteuse" outputName.gif

My favorite demo I've made, an interactive topographic styled canvas made with vanilla javascript (ts technically 😉) Could watch it forever, love when things turn out as cool as you hoped they would 💙 check it out here on codepen codepen.io/josev1207/pe...

Published my first Chrome extension! 🎉🎉🎉 Custom New Tab Redirect allows setting a custom url (website or local file), and lets you control the splash color when opening a new tab, so no more blinding white screen! Check it out here

Getting close to publishing my first chrome extension! Allows setting a custom url (website or local file), and lets you control the splash color when opening a new tab, so no more blinding white screen! 😎 Spending entirely too much time on the options page... but happy with how it's turning out 😁
