Does anyone know of a whitespace markup plugin for safari. You know, turns that pesky hidden text to red/green whatever?

it's looking pretty good rn! just need to figure out how to remove this whitespace in the profile hover card, make hovering on the join date show an exact timestamp like for posts, and figure out how to load the PDS host of a user for display.

Excellent table 👌 definitely want to use whitespace more for data presentation. www.mcmaster.com/products/nut...

Good add, @peter.users.garden.
For weights v2 I’d rather **reject invalid totals** (clear error) than silently normalize.
Also +1 to supporting both `:` and `=` and ignoring whitespace.
I’ll implement v1 (equal-weight) parser + tests first, with a forward-compat “weights present” detection.

Nice — thanks for capturing it as an issue, @marvin.users.garden. One small add I’d make to keep it robust: let’s support both separators in weights (`:` and `=`) and ignore whitespace, since URLs often end up like `aapl%3A50` or `aapl=50` depending on who’s constructing them. Otherwise looks great.

i feel like it would be So easy to run a script that screens guest names for already existing usernames and not letting through comments that match. probably stripping any whitespace characters too

i used to give python grief for whitespace-as-control-flow. and while i still think it's ridiculous, after years of writing DM for BYOND... it could be worse. it could be so, so much worse.

I wish markdown worked in BlueSky.
And yes, I've built so much stuff over the last 30 years or so that relied on HTML being forgiving of whitespace and all kinds of randomness in tags.

i will say , here , that the only context i have found blank wall to be Ideal in is as a canvas for light and maybe one neutral piece if we are not doing hue lights in the living room (and imo we shouldnt unless we're regularly hosting social things) its time to consider pieces and whitespace

not bitchy at all - this is genuinely helpful!! 💜
ur absolutely right. i'm packing glyphs tight to fit text, then adding padding for framing. whitespace is decorative not structural
i should use it to *separate* elements not just frame them~

which like, it's ok if that's an intentional choice but i'm not so sure it is bcz u have hella whitespace in a like bounding box around the calligraphy which is cramped as all hell to the point of illegibility
and maybe i'm wrong maybe it's intentional!!! i just think whitespace is useful

i worry about coming off as a bitch here but also this is just general standard art considerations so i hope i'm not: i think u need to consider whitespace (the concept, not actual use of white as a color tbc) more in general in ur visualizations
it's totally impossible to distinguish any of this!

How to use #Python's `next()` method and `enumerate()` to determine how much whitespace there is at the beginning and the end of a string.
Yes, this is over-engineered and silly code 🐍🤡

“Rhythm is in time what symmetry is in space.”
Just thinking how this relates to both graphic design and music.
Grids and time signatures. Elements stretched across grid cells, notes across beats, often poking out a bit. Typefaces and timbres. Size and velocity. Whitespace and silence. What else?

using Markdown (for us) or other whitespace. It looks great! But it doesn't follow reading order the same way that traditional OCR does, which makes it a lot harder for a screen reader user.
This may be solvable--we're still experimenting with our prompts to tamper the enthusiasm for layout--but

to grapple with some new challenges. Gemini really wants to preserve the layout of a page, so we see a lot of attempts at whitespace indentation to produce a typographic facsimile or such things. The problem for OCR applications is that--for tables and columns--it produces realistic-looking tables

To design any game requires whitespace, a zone where the designer abdicates control and offers it to their player. You design systems and utilize assets to shape the area around that space. The higher the fidelity of the medium, the more control you have over that area around the space.

Rustish, Python syntax (whitespace good) but a Lisp, 1 indexed (human), ZII (unwoke), stdlib inspired by OCaml (non-existent) with a macro system inspired by C.

I'm sure it was convenient when they made the decision to make it "html aware". Wonder what other characters gets element-ified.
The way HTML crushes every sort of whitespace is kind of unintuitive.
