Yes, the Mobile UI definitely need some work. I kind of repurposed Ok palette ones. But maybe it deserves its own.

ray-color 0.4.0 now supports bloom! Its the only setting affected by the camera 🥲 but it looks SO good and makes tuning a palette slightly a joy. Show me your palettes! > meodai.github.io/ray-color/

If you can write CSS, you can write GSS { ● } I've been dreaming of this for years: a language to build 3D scenes like you write CSS. Selectors, cascade, :hover, keyframes… compiled to one GPU shader. Meet GSS: GPU Style Sheets. gss-lang.dev #shader #glsl #gss

#shiptember The cybernetic collective's perfection was fragile. Rogue drones resistant to assimilation plotted uprisings. Clashing mosaics of alien technologies spawned self-directing evolutions that entered the hive mind, introducing conflicting directives, thriving off the chaos. #scifi #startrek
A cube-shaped ship made of many different components. Light green and gray coloring over a light blue background. Isometric art done in ink and colored in Krita.

Happy to finally build and release the color ramp creator I’ve always wanted to use. Phosphor generates perceptually linear gradients and lets you edit, share, and export them for use in ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, GDAL, and other formats. I hope you find it helpful. www.joshuastevens.net/phosphor/

Phosphor
Multi-hue color gradients with perceptually linear lightness. Export to CSS, Python, QGIS, ArcGIS Pro or GDAL.

CuspHanger has been getting a lot of attention lately! So I wanted to honour the paper triggering its development: Palettes can now be generated in CIELuv, the space Wijffelaars et al. originally used. meodai.github.io/cusphanger (Adds HCT as well, mostly because I wanted to try it)

Not really since this is basically just the documentation of the library. You could set it via the inspector of your navigator though
