Formatters are HARD to implement

That's pretty much all I did today, along with a ton of documentation and will probably consume today 🥲

Storm

A lot of Go's x packages do so much awesome stuff. Storm has TTY detection thanks to golang.org/x/term

Partials: These are sort of like fragments in towncrier and there are commands to build & modify these.

Portfolio

I made my personal site open source today. I'm still not sure if I'm ready to make the switch to the new theme.

The plan today is to experiment with different font-sizes.

VoltX

I got some feedback after posting about this on reddit yesterday! The docs are broken and out of date so I have to address that.

I may plan out a small LSP/extension. Unsure about what language to write it in

I saw a post on bluesky yesterday discussing markdown slides & leaflet. I commented this and want to document it here to hold myself accountable.

Basically, I'd like to create a way to take leaflet & markdown and generate slides on the fly using sections like this one (delimited by ---).

Do you ever have a random conversation with someone and decide to make something out of it? I talked to someone about writing color schemes and quickly walked through my process of going from the base16 spec to TextMate scopes used by VSCode .

Scope Selectors — TextMate 1.x Manual

A scope selector is a pattern much like a CSS selector which is matched against the scope of the caret (i.e. current context) and the outcome is either a match or a non-match (see also: ranking matches further down).

The takeaway for me was to write a tutorial based on what the color scheme I made. I'm still editing it, but I'm excited to share it!
