Ky @ky.fyi · 15/09/2026it feels weird to me that they added dimensionality/glass to so many elements, but also... made existing buttons flat for some reason 110

Ky @ky.fyi · 19/08/2026Susan Kare would have people come and sit for 32x32 portraits using this early Icon Editor, which only allowed toggling bits on and off pixel-by-pixel 2141
Ky @ky.fyi · 19/08/2026In addition to being a legendary designer, Susan Kare is evidently responsible for the fact that confirmation buttons say "OK" instead of... "Do It" "We definitely changed "Do It" to "OK", because 'Do It' was a little off-color, and people read it as 'dolt'" 1344
Ky @ky.fyi · 05/08/2026cc @anildash.com, in this case they are hiring a software engineer to *literally* help kill people 2140

Ky @ky.fyi · 03/08/2026astro-lilypond@0.17 now includes better logging and error handling: in dev mode, LilyPond syntax errors now appear inline instead of crashing the page when building for production, any LilyPond syntax errors will still fail the entire build, to stop you from accidentally deploying broken scores 1122
Ky @ky.fyi · 02/08/2026astro-lilypond@0.16.1 now exports proper TypeScript types for Astro content collections, which should make it easier to access and display metadata from your `.ly` files 🎶 1222
Ky @ky.fyi · 28/07/2026r/mildlyinteresting: the astro-lilypond tag in the first sentence of these two pages is in the exact same pixel position despite different text 2280
Ky @ky.fyi · 27/07/2026some WIP / behind the scenes shots of the first try with the photopolymer plate. some fine details blew out in the wings of the most detailed geese, so the final print ended up being a bit larger and chunkier overall, which I ended up liking more 1231
Ky @ky.fyi · 27/07/2026wild geese. photopolymer print, made at the center for book arts in nyc 1120121
Ky @ky.fyi · 23/07/2026astro-lilypond now will autogenerate `alt` text for images based on the title and composer listed in the score! or you can supply your own custom alt text if you want to provide more context on a score 1200
Ky @ky.fyi · 23/07/2026astro-lilypond v0.8 now supports rendering multi-page output in a nice little <ol> tag. you can style the group however you want, like putting pages into a little side-scrolling region lilypond.ky.fyi/styling/#sid... 4331
Ky @ky.fyi · 20/07/2026someone disabled focus rings on links across your website and it remained that way for 17 years 3170
Ky @ky.fyi · 17/07/2026as much as I love to pine for the old web, browsing messages like this kinda sucks LilyPond dev discussions in 2026 🥴 4390
Ky @ky.fyi · 13/07/2026for full control, yeah, that's probably the way to go. interestingly, unlike Chrome and Firefox, Safari doesn't apply `skip-ink` to wavy underlines, even when `text-decoration-skip-ink: all` is set. codepen.io/kydecker/ful... 110
Ky @ky.fyi · 13/07/2026`text-decoration-style: wavy` varies in appearance from browser to browser. In Chrome it appears thicker than a straight underline of equal width. Safari's wavy underline looks the nicest, imo. Firefox uses hard 45º angles for some reason 3240
