Hoping I don't have to use this, but I'm ready because I know the penises are ... en route.

Over the weekend, I was catching up with an old friend (@Daniel_Machlab) and he made me realize this would be the perfect app for a typing class in the Christian school setting. 💡

Before the projects were sharing a Digital Ocean Postgres DB in NYC3 (2 GB / 1 vCPU) at 22$ a month

Now the projects have their own databases on Planetscale in US-EAST (1 GB, 1/8 vCPU) at 10$ x 2 a month

Lower latency, better DX, independent scaling. 🕺

For a long time I didn't feel like there was a good database to pair with a Hetzner VPS, but I think Planetscale is the way now.

I'm not observing 42colors just yet, but I think this is going to be an even bigger win there. It's serverfully hosted on @status.hetzner.com.web.brid.gy in Virginia close to where the new @planetscale.com instances are located. No more round trips back and forth between VA and NY.

I won't spam my account with too much artwork but this one was super sick so had to share.

Just created @42colors.bsky.social for a more consistent stream of my favorite artwork on 42colors.com

And if things are getting too hectic, you can simplify your plot by aligning multiple points.

A big part of why I made 42colors was for the opportunity to create little interactions like these. So much fun!

You can drag around to add more vertices.

Just last week plots became completely customizable. You can drag the corners of your plot to alter it's shape.
