  3. I've been working on a "major" update to my website for a few months. It's quite similar but has… 5 themes! And a better synth on the About page (definitely need to get a real one again). Still with eleven_ty of course—render + i18n are great plugins! 🔗 chriskirknielsen.com/

  5. I made a couple of designs for #CSS lovers out there, hoping to sell a few to help with my wife's dental bills. It's '80s retro and dystopian-cyberpunk inspired, respectively. 100% my jam, maybe it's yours too? 🔗 teepublic.com/t-shirt/14125152-retro-css?store_id=49603 🔗 teepublic.com/sticker/14123881-css-demo-sheet

  7. So for this week's CodePen #CodePenChallenge, I wanted to go minimalistic… I present the ISO50 art generator! Love Tycho's stuff, so figured it would be a fun project! 😄 codepen.io/chriskirknielsen/full/gOXYQNL

  10. For this week's CodePen #CodePenChallenge, it's about randomness… how about a random Liam Neeson movie poster? Not a real movie, but a fake one that almost-kind of sounds real… Find it here: codepen.io/chriskirknielsen/pen/ExwRYXO

  13. Made a little update to my About page, having a bit of fun with my VHS tapes: chriskirknielsen.com/about/ JavaScript plops out a number in [-1,1] range for each tape, assigns it as a CSS custom property, and CSS handles the rest. ☺️

  14. Namecheap Hi there, I want to renew my domains with your services, but you use #accessiBe on your website. Have you committed to moving away from it, or should I look for another domain provider? Thanks!

  16. Finally added a Dark Mode toggle on chriskirknielsen.com — everything has been ready for months, aside from a styled toggle… Heavily inspired by hankchizljaw's piccalil.li/tutorial/solution-002-toggle-switch/ Dark is default due to the neon aesthetic, but you can now switch from "Dusk" to "Dawn" 😏

  19. I don't mean to brag but I just used eleven_ty to generate an XML of airport codes and frequencies so my father could import that file into his new fancy radio walkie-talkie thingy for his flight lessons. 🎈

  21. …in reply to @NotAFrozendog
    NotAFrozendog stimmyskye CrowFangs This happened to me on reddit. I posted to a community about a design I made for a shirt, saying to ask for the link in DMs, and when someone commented to ask "where can I get this?", spambot. It was overnight and I was very sad to see a reply "thanks, got one!". 😞

    mxbck Haha, very much this. Alternatively, when the SVG asset is a small image that's been live-traced in Illustrator and everything is garbage.
