There’s a rather old project that may do what you want: https://github.com/zoran123456/Comic-Smart-Panels
I also use AlternativeTo to look for …alternatives! Unfortunately, the other alternatives (besides Comic Smart Panels) are all proprietary, varying degree of “free”: https://alternativeto.net/software/comic-life/
Reddit was (still is?) considered as the “front page of the Internet” for over a decade. It’s likely we all need time to unlearn the habits we picked up from Reddit. I know I still have that habit of refraining from commenting in certain threads because I don’t want to potentially get bitched at.
I do wonder if a forum-based UI would help promote the kind of community you’re looking for. Some people have suggested that text-only posts might help encourage more discussions and that is essentially what the forums are like. If you want to link to something for context, that just goes into the body text, rather than have the content show up first and foremost. That said, I don’t think Beehaw is interested in switching to a forum-based UI. I could be wrong though.
The “News Flash” bit was unnecessary. Please keep your replies to other users respectful on Beehaw.
Thanks!

That being said, CSS frameworks are still wonderful, used right they can save a lot of time during early development by outsourcing the majority of design to the framework devs.
That’s actually my intent with using a CSS framework. A personal project of mine reached minimum viable product statud status (phones…) recently, I included bulma, and used some of its components for stuff like menus and modals. It was definitely faster than writing everything by hand early on. But I also ended up writing my own CSS anyway, especially with the grid, which is the foundation on which my app works on (it’s a grid-based colour mixing app).
I agree, I think CSS frameworks have a place for prototyping and we shouldn’t rely on them as a project moves towards a proper release 🤔
Then again, some people might think the obfuscation in 20+ classes is somehow a good thing…frankly, I think it’s worse than inline styles. It’s basically obfuscated inline styles!
My reasons for taking notes is basically “yes” to everything you mentioned.
Recently, my notes came in handy when I finally submitted my project as a final project for an online course I was taking. It spanned about 4 months of start and stop progress so a lot of my initial thoughts would have been lost if I hadn’t journalled about what I did on days I worked on the project.
In my last job, I would take notes of what I’m doing by hand. Or sketch out plans of what I want to do with the internal tools I made just so I’m not wasting time or falling into the trap of feature creep.
I also do it to practice writing.
I’ve done most of my note taking in Obsidian.md (and I sync them with git), but sometimes I leave notes in a private Discord server if it’s something I want instant access to.
Thank you for adding the warning 😁 I bet many lemmy admins and mods appreciate it!
Using this tool in beehaw will get you banned for spamming. If you choose to use this in an instance you do not own, be sure you get explicit permission from the admins + mods of the target community before you do so.
Even if a community is meant for this sort of archiving, be sure to ask first. They might have a specific set of rules on choosing what they want to archive.
Please use this tool with care.
This reminds me of REXPaint.
It looks pretty neat though, and a good examples of what Textual is capable of. Gonna give it a spin later today.
Thanks for sharing!
Not making a game yet, but I want to thank you for bringing this up! I wanted to make GIFs of my app’s howto clips and this looks like it’ll fit the bill.
In the future, if you wish to link to an article, please include the link(s) to either the project’s official site, their source repository, or both. Just in case a reader would rather look at the project first before digesting someone else’s opinion. Plus, ItsFoss.com can be very ad-heavy (made the mistake of going there without an ad-blocker once) and not everyone uses ad-blockers.
Thanks!

If you don’t mind me asking, why this scorekeeper? The fact that it isn’t open-source leaves me hesitant to dig around in the code.
Oh sweet! Thanks for posting this. I should’ve checked first 🤦
Until this gets implemented, have you tried using the mouse middle-click? At least on Firefox, it opens a link in a new tab.
I vaguely recall there being a setting to force all links to open in a new tab as well…I’ll edit this comment when I have a chance to look into it.
I’ve been doing a little bit of digging into lemmy-ui’s codebase. No promises, but I’m definitely curious about adding the feature now 🤔 I would like to just have links open in a new tab automatically, as well.
Edit 1: I’m a derp. I realized this is going to require a change in the backend too, in order to save the setting to your account on the server. So the more immediate fix is to either force all links to open in new tabs…or save the option client-side. Which means you’d have to make this change on every single browser you browse beehaw on.
Edit 2: According to luciole’s comment (https://beehaw.org/comment/666753), the feature was already added. Just gotta wait for the admins to upgrade the instance 😊
Natron is essentially the FOSS version of Nuke. And Nuke may seem overkill, but using it for simple tasks at first is a great way to familiarize yourself with the tool before using it for more complex ones.
I used to use Nuke just to do some colour grading, or composite two animations together, back when I was in school for 3D animation. “Simple” stuff that Blender could’ve handled, but I liked how Nuke was designed specifically for composition and VFX. The focus helps, I find. Which made me happy that Natron is a thing (although I recall it having some stability issues with me).

I remember hearing about it but the prospect of not being able to replay it turned me off. At least, that’s what I gleaned over the years. I vaguely recall someone posting a picture of them framing the board when they were done with the game (campaign?)
Maybe I got the wrong impression? I suppose I should take another look-see.
I haven’t played that much Pandemic, really, so the mechanics have yet to get old for us 😅
I can’t help but love when subreddits do this in response to the threat of removing mods if they stay private. I remember there were some that were posting “sexy” pics of John Oliver. iPhone was limited to posting “sexy” pics of Tim Cook. Working with what they have in order to continue their protests. I like it😁
It has malicious compliance written all over it 🙃
Hello!
I’ve went though a stint where I just didn’t want to play boardgames. Largely because a lot of them are competitive and I don’t like the vibe that usually brings out of me. Recently, my housemate and I grew our collection of co-op games. I have to say that the “Star Wars: The Clone Wars - A Pandemic System Game” is our favourite so far. We only played it a few times and…failed on all counts! It’s a Pandemic game and we haven’t played the system much so we haven’t figured out the best way to work around it. I do look forward to figuring that out!
As for TTRPGs. Oh man…for group play, I would say the Genesys system (EDGE/FFG Star Wars RPG…yeah, there’s a pattern 😉 ). But I’ve shifted away from group play and into solo play. Ironsworn: Starforged, as a system, is my favourite. Not a huge fan of the setting but there are people working on addons and mods so it wouldn’t be hard to adjust. I also plan on making an attempt at solo-playing SWRPG/Genesys. I’ve noticed a lack of solo-play podcasts for that specific system so that’s something I plan on doing in the near future!
I also have a ridiculous amount of TTRPGs I’ve…collected over the years. The two I definitely want to play, solo or group, is Cities Without Numbers and Eclipse Phase 2e. I really like the cyberpunk + future tech settings and haven’t had a chance to really play a game like that. Maybe a one-shot once upon a time.
I think that’s all I have to share for now! I’m excited to see and chat about this stuff with y’all 😄
If people felt they can’t really escape an essential product from a shitty company because of cost, or even convenience, I’d understand.
But this is a video game. Playing video games is my primary hobby. I do it a lot. It’s how I spend quality time with my long-distance partner as well. But it is not essential to my life. We actually have a very viable option of not buying a product from a company helmed by evil, shitty people. It should’ve been more clear-cut.
Ultimately, my disappointment over this runs pretty deep. I will never respect Blizzard as a company. Honestly, I had hoped that MS acquiring them would mean breaking them up and scattering the resources to different departments. The fact that I think MS is the better of the two probably says a lot about my disdain for Blizzard at this point.
Howdy! We’re removing this thread for being posted in the wrong community and essentially an ad/spam.
