Updated tlapalli.ackzell.dev with screenshots for the new UI VSCode shows. I think it's behind a config or something but I guess better to show it off that way. Fixed the marketplace badges that I had customized but the params were updated on the shield service thingie. And added one more thing 😝

Here's a demo of something I worked on for a couple weeks: Nitlapōhua (means "I count [stuff]" in Náhuatl) It's a multiplayer / solo game to help my kids (the whole family really) to improve on quick math skills youtu.be/Jryar4K7ltQ

I want to have assets for a landing page I will be updating soon. So I need to get 16 theme variations of the same window. Join me to see how I accomplish it in about 1h 🤓 www.youtube.com/live/gIEpWQI...

Some news! The @zed.dev team was very kind and they merged my PR to add Tlapalli as an extension zed.dev/extensions/t... This is a dark / light monochromatic theme with 16 variations I've been working on for the past few months.

I try to give my projects a name in Nahuatl. An ancient language that was spoken by the Aztecs and it is still alive and well in parts of Mexico 🤓 I don't speak it, but it sure makes them unique!

Some more work on this idea, now the problem is to come up with actual videos to create lol Motion Canvas + Vue ✔️ Motion Canvas + TresJS ✔️ #html-in-canvas is the future of the web, no doubt about it 😁

Screenshot of a vscode instance on the left where a Motion Canvas project is shown. A scene file that implements a "plain" Vue Component as well as one that implements a "TresJS cube" component that is animated to rotate while changing the camera perspective.

On the right side there is a Google Chrome instance showing the animation running nearly at the end of the timeline of the scene, with the cube rotated as well as the state of the animation for the vue box.

Thus, showcasing a POC of an integration with Motion Canvas + Vue + TresJS

Axel Martínez @ackzell.dev · 30/04/2026

I had an idea during the creation of my latest youtube video... so I started working on something

A split screen screenshot of VSCode on the left and Motion Canvas editor on the right.

It shows the use of "native motion canvas" along side a vue component that is being animated using the same generators.

Re-learning chemistry is soooo much NOT fun 😝. I prefer algebra so much more. I'm just thinking I'll have to do this for at least a couple more years lol What IS fun is watching the lights turning on in the brains of my kids and they go 😱🤯 🥹

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Close up of a plant covered by snow. The background is out of focus but some branches and snow make the image mostly white, while a small flower at the tip of a leafless branch that is centered on the photo and in focus stands out.

I was able to include a modified version of an Expressive Code plugin that supports the #Vue compiler to show things like the types of the variables the code, as well as errors. In this particular lesson to indicate that only JS statements and not expressions are allowed for text interpolation.

I had so much fun styling one of the apps for my side project that I was ultimately reminded that I'm definitely more happy when doing frontend stuff. It's been long since I had so many different things going on at once (technically) and I feel how my brain is just gooooing. Such a great feeling 😝

Axel Martínez @ackzell.dev · 30/08/2025

I closed the week by contributing a feature to an OSS project I started using, but that was not before learning how to create a pnpm patch on my own repo where I have it as a dependency. Adding a bunch of issues to my own repos so I don't forget what I want to add to them.

Shadcn-vue + UnoCSS is pretty cool. I was able to move real fast. Only problem is I didn't quite like the colors, then the spacing in my layout... Then dark vs light mode... And I spent a lot of time in there haha. Thankfully we have Vite these days

Axel Martínez @ackzell.dev · 30/08/2025

That's just the day job! I'm working on a side project where I'm using Dexie in the Vue ecosystem (meaning Pinia, Iconify, UnoCSS, Vue use...) Implementing the integration took me a little while because I couldn't get the abstractions to _feel_ right... Until I did. That was a great moment!

... so I could get rid of an API call and get the results rendering the data more quickly. Next I'm roubleshooting EC2 instances and bringing back to life the environment for dev I rewrote a docker file, updated the ci, registered a CI runner, made nginx and the container resilient to reboots

This week was pretty wild in terms of my professional life. But I'll highlight here the technical aspect of it: At one point I was writing code to listen to Cognito events in my Amplify React component for auth. Then I needed to modify a Java lambda to provide a field in the response...

I have mixed feelings about this. Gotta try it some more to make up my mind about it. Different DX from what I'm used to for sure.
