Starting date night off strong with homemade steaks, green beans, and hot honey biscuits 🤤

Just ADHD things…

I somehow managed to put the Jif Peanut butter lid on the Nutella and the Nutella lid on the Jif and put them both away 😂

And just like that, one bug fixed, one test case created, and we have the 100th unit test for the software powering this blog 🎉

I'm implementing custom theme settings! This is something I had the idea for late one night last week. You define the settings you want in your theme's theme.json like this:

{
  ...
  "settings": {
    "fields": {
      "accent_color": {
        "type": "color",
        "label": "Accent color",
        "default": "#cc3f2e"
      },
      "background_color": {
        "type": "color",
        "label": "Background color",
        "default": "#f8f4ef"
      },
      "max_width": {
        "type": "string",
        "label": "Layout max width",
        "default": "72rem",
        "help": "Used for the main content column."
      }
    },
    "groups": [
      {
        "label": "Colors",
        "fields": ["accent_color", "background_color"]
      },
      {
        "label": "Layout",
        "fields": ["max_width"]
      }
    ]
  }
}

The result is the UI you see above! Then they can be used your theme like this:

<style>
    :root {
        --accent: {{ theme.settings.accent_color|default:"#cc3f2e" }};
        --bg: {{ theme.settings.background_color|default:"#f8f4ef" }};
    }
</style>

This seems like a small feature but it gives users and theme devs a ton of flexibility! I'm exicted to someday see how people use it.

Today Azure and I went wandering around downtown St. George. We stumbled across this street art by Pepe Gaka and I had to take a picture to look up later.

Someday I'm going to finally build my app to map and tag street art!

I'm making this a photo post because the photo slider got an upgrade.

Previously it was purely HTML/CSS which is fine. However, I decided to progresively enhance it with some simple JS to add some controls to make scrolling more smooth.

As a bonus I also added Open Graph data to every page. Now when you share links to my blog the link previews work!
