I thought it would be nice to have physical adversary cards, with checkable resources, so I made a tool for creating adversary cards for Daggerheart TTRPG from @darringtonpress.bsky.social.
If you would like to create a custom adversary card, or ten, it’s available at daggercard.tellstorypress.com

I have an idea for a content management system plugin for @penpot.app.
Below is a video with a PoC:
- 🧱 batch item creation from a data set,
- ↔️ two-way editing,
- 🏷️ layer name based content pairing - the project works without the plugin.

I just ran the first test update of a local @penpot.app instance using Penpot Desktop.
Everything went well, with one click to trigger @docker.com to pull new images and (re)create the containers. 🎉

How do you use view mode in @penpot.app?
Here is a proof of concept of an auto-reload for the view window. Once the file changes are saved, Penpot Desktop would refresh the view for you.

You can now specify the @penpot.app version of the local instance to create.
It defaults to the “latest”, but any valid Penpot Docker repository tag should work, with suggestions for ten of the most recent tags.

It is a new option in the settings panel, set to “overlay” by default, and a change takes effect after a restart.
Available in version 0.15 on its release page github.com/author-more/... and in the Flathub store.

Recently, I learnt that in VS Code, you can have inline Git blame info without needing any extensions.
1. Go to Settings.
2. Search for "Git blame".
3. Tick the box for "Git › Blame › Editor Decoration”.
Or you can set "git.blame.editorDecoration.enabled" to `true` in the Settings JSON.
Enjoy.

I went on a small bug fixing spree for Penpot Desktop this week. It means:
- visual indicators for colourless tabs' states,
- a persistent "new tab" button,
- and more tab space in macOS's full-screen mode.
Just one more issue with instances to sort out and the v0.12.1 update will be out to you.
