I've been writing music generatively and trying to visualise it.

@sphinxc0re So I guess, yeah, it could also be taken to mean "don't use JavaScript to do this because it won't work with JS off". But NOTHING (not just layout design) works with JS off in a client rendered SPA.

@sphinxc0re In the video, it's about an imperfect layout still providing essential content in an accessible way, hence not "broken", just not particularly visually pleasing. That part doesn't really have anything to do with JavaScript, but I would agree that depending on JavaScript to create layout is generally a bad idea.

@sphinxc0re Not sure what you mean, sorry. A SPA could use CSS progressively?

I just released my first variable font.

@ashley Me too, actually 🙂

@ashley Thanks! Out of interest, which is your favorite artwork?

New 💀Death Garage💀 track!

I’ve made a lot of changes to https://mutable.gallery recently.

★ New and improved artworks
★ Finer grain control on algorithms (e.g. Inverted has an "evil" slider → https://mutable.gallery/inverted/)
★ Ability to order prints of the unique artworks you make (!!)
★ Fullscreen/slideshow mode

Let me know what you think.

@jeena good idea!

@flakoot @jeena @aral Same. Looked into it but found it very confusing. Plus all the instances I looked at were filled with conspiracy crackpots (probably just bad luck, that part)

Big thank you to @aral and @laura for having me on https://small-tech.org to chat. What a great conversation (as expected, love those two!!)
