Ok, I might have been busy with qplanner.
I still have a couple more things to sort out, but this is the current changelog.
Everything listed is live right now.

Event filtering is now live on qplanner!
Filter out days, stages, stages on specific days, and stage labels
The filter works with PDF output as well (replacing the existing similar options)
The menu in the bottom panel has been adjusted
I'll do a blog post once I'm happy there's no show stoppers

I think I have filtering sorted out now.
It just needs a bit of UI to manage it.
You'll be able to filter: Days, Stages, Stages per day, and Stage Labels (so you can filter out areas of the event, or whatever)

I've just improved the text layout code for PDFs, in the planner view.
* Improved and tightened the vertical spacing between lines
* Added an extra pass to repack text that's filling/overflowing the container
Thrilling before/after images attached.

qplanner now has refreshed artist data, and images are back!
Data sources are @musicbrainz.org @lastfm.bsky.social and @wikimediafoundation.org
I still need to add back the small images on the user selection page, and mobile long press.
I plan on adding artist checks/suggestions in the creator.

This background image choice might not work well with every artist image/planner theme, but I thought I'd put it out there as it works well here.

I think my markdown pages are feature complete now.
Since the last post I've added support for:
* Icons
* Internal links (besides the direct links to subpages at the top of each page)
* A way for collapsibles to opt-out of automatic accordion grouping

Here's some glass in a normal webpage, using just CSS.
- Try selecting the text
- Click the orb to move it around

This only works in Firefox/Gecko based browsers, and it's a serious performance killer.

In previous years I've had a little extra live Glastonbury map, on qplanner.
I neglected to set it up last year.
Is there any interest in one for this year?

Recolouring works.
I think it would be nice to have a flag for whether a logo should be recoloured or not. I'm sure there's situations where that's a wise move.
There's a fair bit of work between having this code and getting something useable into qplanner, and I should be working on the phone app.

Adding vector logo support to PDF output is actually coming along.
I need to work out how to nicely recolour them, so they can match the text colour.

Here's a very niche tool.
The official F1 account stopped tweeting the full qualifying results, and somebody on Reddit complained.
So I recreated the old graphic, using the Jolpica F1 API.
