Happy holidays, folks! See you on the flip side

My little program has come a long way in 2 months.

My dumb little program now has all the features I wanted it to start with and I'm polishing it.

Figured the best way to find where it's terrible is to use it how I wanted it to be used.

Found this neat little star!

#astronomy #astrophysics #opensource #python

Down from "Let's build an application!" to 14 TODO items of varying difficulty.

None of them are exciting, most of them necessary. Can't believe this thing is ~8,000 lines of code. 2 months of consistent work!

I hope I can do it and have people use this thing.

I just hit a major goal with my program: Split-view layouts similar (but far rougher) to how Blender handles their layouts and views.

My little open source photometry app has come so far in 2 months.

#photometry #astronomy #astrophysics #python

I decided to make a tiny theme engine using Jinja2 and YAML while I make this tool more pleasant to use. I added two themes, based on Nord and Gruvbox.

Experiencing how hard it is to make something look and feel good, I have all the more respect for UI and UX designers. It's such a subtle art.

I refactored the back end of my astrophotography program, Shutterbug, into an event-driven system. To test the new design, I added aperture photometry!

Adjustable, intelligently self-adapting rings. No blocking. Live preview. Pure #python. Feels good.

#astrophysics #astronomy

Ah ha! I've got my program Shutterbug performing aperture photometry now.

Tomorrow I'm going to record a video and show the world! How exciting!

I drew my friend's very lovely little corgi!

#art #drawing #digital #krita

I've been working on building my own #astronomy analysis software in #python called Shutterbug. I just hit a major milestone: live action editing. Tools like box-select can now be created, previewed, tweaked, and confirmed interactively.

It only took 10 days to build, whoo!

I keep forgetting I have this account

I wanted to learn hard surface and get started with textures, so I did.

I miss Starsiege, what a great game.

Just don't ask about my UVs.

The days are long, life is hard, so here is a fish

Squirrel!

Looking for artists to follow just leaves me intimidated lol

I drew a thing, it's a study from a photo for learning how to draw fur.
