FYI I encountered a text wrapping issue with the default theme on headers. Screenshot taken on Firefox for Android 156.0.1 (Build #2016185927), also observed in Chrome 153.0.8010.52

The header "Ideas for Your Personal Website" has a line break in the middle and wraps onto the next line. The ascender line of the wrapped text is rendered above the descender line of the start, making the header difficult to read.

Did you know that airplanes are actually TOO close to the cloud to get good WiFi? Its true! We all know the internet is bits of data. But where do the bits come from? Turns out The Cloud spontaneously emits quantum wave packets that coalesce into WiFi radio waves after traveling at least 93 meters!

Well that didn't take long

Screenshot of Claud Code's web UI showing an error. It reads:

API Error

Network error while accessing the git_repository source. Check that the repository URL is reachable and try again. If you're using a self-hosted git server, verify it's accessible from the sandbox environment.

For experimentation purposes, I asked Claude Code to make a minor change in Chromium, then tried to migrate the plan refinement process on the web. Something tells me this won't go well 🤔

Screenshot of Claude Code on the web. The UI shows a series of tasks it needs to complete. "Set up a cloud container" is checked and "Cloning repository" is in-progress. The last two steps, "Run setup script" and "Start Claude Code", have not started yet.

Just pushed github.com/steveruizok/... to fix a rendering issue in a JS digital ink library As reported in github.com/steveruizok/..., there was a bug in how it handled sharp corners, causing the outer boundaries of the ink stroke to get mixed up and creating some unfortunate artifacts

Screenshot containing zig zag patterns. In the most pronounced case, a stroke could narrow to zero pixels wide in some sections.

Screenshot with the bug fix applied. Strokes much more consistently maintain a minimum width. The previous artifacts are gone.

Why don’t payment kiosks at restaurants ever seem to have an @ on the keyboard when entering an email address? 🤔

This is me in Chrome on desktop right now. I think what you're running into is a sizing issue: if your browser windows is < 1230px wide you'll get the mobile-style layout
