Small update on 42colors.com — I created a tool for admins to help keep the canvas _family friendly_.
Normally, when you claim a piece of the canvas, you have exclusive rights to drawing in that area, but with this new toggle admins able to override that.

I'm pumped that @PlanetScale dropped a non high availability plan. I've moved both typetheword.site and 42colors.com to it.

I created 42colors.com with the idea that constraints can be fun. It's a great creative prompt to see what you can draw with just 42 colors. But in a world with limited color options, the shape of your art board is one of the things I want you to be able to customize.
