Little fun logo builder nearly done

SVG comes out around 37KB less than logofa.st, just needed a little less css!

Amazing that you can use react components within Svelte!

Moving from a svelte library to a react one with support for gradients

Doing bits of work on this again today, any nice features you'd like?

I'm thinking of having a noise/grain setting

Going to try starting to do more projects for fun, rather than going all in on ideas!

Today going to try making a logo generator similar to logofa.st by @marc_louvion

Enjoying using Cloudflare but a bit annoying that file uploads are limited at 100MB unless you pay $200 a month per site 👀

When can Cursor have smth like Clippy and tell me when I'm doing something dumb

Something like:

"Hmm, looks like you're trying to do this... that's wrong"

My Cursor subscription is up for renewal so just wanted to see what everyone else is using atm!

Have heard some people mentioning Windsurf, is that better and worth the switch?

What's the new best CMS to self host? I need it to be super simple for clients who find Wordpress too complicated.

I spun up Ghost which looked good, but not being able to define and configure a homepage within the Admin interface seems like it might be a miss

Does anybody have a really good checklist for spinning up a Hetzner server?

I've had Linode for over 10 years but making the jump now

For Linode I used to like checking in with this article

Does anybody else draft messages in their code editor?

Cursor really trying to be helpful here but missing the mark lol

Anyone in the Font space?

FontBureau could be a good domain!

Maybe a good fit for a designer or someone wanting to have a font marketplace?

What's the best way to get well formed data out of large gpt4 API chunks?

With CSV and JSON the responses seem to be regularly malformed and need to be manually corrected

Is there something I'm missing and there is a better way to get structured data out?
