🆕 In canvas controls for post FX. In response to a request. I will probably add more, but this is an Agile project, so I release often to get it in front of you, my beloved shareholders!

🦋 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! 🍂

🆕 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!

🆕 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!

#buildinpublic #indiedev #solodev

🆕 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.

🆕 You can now vary the width and height of the mosaic tiles.

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.

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

🚧 Even though it was easy to add, I didn't like the solid color for the "bad" regions for the harmony wheel, so I added a feature to my color sliders that let me define what I'm calling "null regions" where it uses a pattern instead. Looks much nicer.

🚧 The harmony wheel did not work well when any of the colors were too dark or too muted. It seems to be a floating point precision issue, although I'm still not 💯 sure of that yet. Slider shows where less saturation/lightness causes problems. Unit tests all pass.

🆕 Added animation to the home screen. Designers will hassle me about not using 💯 CSS for this, but I made an animation system for Mutton and I like it better. Also, I'm not normally a fan of animated pages, but my marketing hat said, "Dude. Just... dude."

🆕 Mosaic Post FX. Control mix, cell size, and blur. This one is pretty straightforward.
