🦋 Bluesky Exclusive: Working hard on new pinch controls today for various effects (image might not reflect final product). Didn't want you to think I was slackin'.

🚧Gradient controls now depend on what you have selected in the two choosers. More controls to come.

🤓Since the refactor to use the two choosers, the site has become more absurdly performant because the DOM tree has less leaves on it. Good change for autumn! 🍂

When the Map Falls from Your Hands

🆕 Thanks to feedback, resigned the controls so that they are a lot more accessible and only show one mode at a time, which makes it possible for special "pinch controls" for each mode. Next step is to implement those controls.

Thank you @jpascual.kaidev.io!

Like I promised yesterday, the suit scan system is working; now the enemies can't detect you if you are in sneaking mode or you are dressed like them. Plus, I'm working on the animations for the enemy's state machine.

🆕 Hexagon and Diamond Mosaics. Did you see the resolution is 4058 x 2705? That is the power under the hood of Ahead Sheep. Not a web toy, even though it is so much fun to use.

🆕 Mosaic rotation. Thought it might be cool and I think that is fact-checked true after playing with it. Also added a randomize button so you can get different patterns from the cellular mosaic.

🆕 Triangular mosaic. Now that I have all the math setup, I can add all kinds of mosaics!

🆕 Cellular mosaic. You can change the cell sizes and blur, just like with the rectangular mosaic.

Please, judge me not too harshly for what I put Debug Duck through for these marketing videos. 🫢

🆕 Solarization added. Unlike most tools, Ahead Sheep lets you control strength, threshold, and inversion sharpness.

Ahead Sheep isn't just about creating palettes, gradients, extracting colors, and enhancing images. Features like the chromaticity graph show just how deep into color theory it really goes.

As I looked upon my two broken garbage cans, two things that ought not ever break, I found myself singing...

🎶Everything's made to break (oh baby)
Everything's made to break (oh darlin')
Everything's made to,
everything's made to,
everything's made to break! (oh sugar)🎶

🆕 Now, you can drag the focus crop for color extraction from the center. Before, you could only grab the edges.
