When you work with the service a lot, one of the most useful things is customizing the interface! I prefer a higher foreground shade, and I'm glad it's now available as a setting in npmx.dev (the last config is my default)

It's the weekend, which means it's time to share photos And I found some unpublished in the archive 📷

Ferris wheel at sunset, with small mountains in the background, very contrasty and noisy

The coast at sunset, with a small pond in front and a promenade and palm trees in the background, very contrasting and noisy

Oopsis, I'm on the contrary made the background brighter to create more volume 😅 Here is the original one for comparison:

I think I'll continue this tradition of posting photos from this wonderful trip 😊🌸

A row of flowering cherry blossom trees lines a path through a sunny park. Pink blossoms fill the canopy overhead, while people stroll and relax on the grass. Sunlight filters through the branches, creating bright highlights and a blue-green lens flare in the foreground, with clouds gathering in the distance

Yay, now you can see replies directly from my blog posts www.alexdln.com/blog/the-mon...

Screenshot of a blog post with an open “Replies” dialog overlay. In the dialog, Alex (@alexdln.com) says it’s time to “touch the grass,” mentions going on vacation and not coding, and invites people to connect on Bluesky about contributing to npmx. Below, patak (@patak.cat) replies wishing Alex happy holidays and saying “See you in a week!” with a blue heart. The blurred blog content and table of contents are visible in the background.

Or maybe Google is right and I shouldn't go to the site preview. I wanted to relax today 🤔

Google error page:

I wanted to write that for some reason "any" means that at least one character is needed, while "string" allows an empty string as well, but...

It's time to tell the terrible truth. I spend most of my time using the light theme... 🖤 Because this is the only way to ensure that all users get the same great experience in npmx 🤍

The last day of vacation at npmx before reopening our doors 🐾 So, I had to not only touch the grass, but also remember how to code Luckily, as you've already seen, we didn't discuss what touching the grass meant 😅

>> node alphabet.ts './npmx' '🍀', '🌸'

And then the cover is displayed where the background is made using the emoji "🍀" and the letters are written using the emoji "🌸"
