I didn't announce here that I packaged my shadow preserving algorithm into a paid app: PackshotPanda (dot com)

Munawwar Firoz @munawwar.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Most background removal tools don't retain natural shadow. I figured out how to retain it. And also how to align them shoes to be perfectly 10% away from the bottom,left,right edges within a 2048x2048 canvas (allowing the shadows to occupy that 10% margin)

Previously if I was tired and still had work pending I forced myself to sit on my chair and focus on the work. Now I can lie down and talk to my phone.

Was looking at toggle switch designs and landed on a shop that sells physical toggle switches as fidget toys. It looks soo good!

Pepper v0.3 component rendering work in-progress. Right now updating something at lower level of component tree bubbles changes to the top. Might make this more efficient.

Tagged template literal (TTL) based rendering library can handle spread syntax `...${props}`. I think it can have react-like `children` / slots idea too. Will be trying to (dis)prove the idea soon. Though the type checking story is weaker than what JSX can give.

Hot take: I prefer we named our divs instead of relying on react dev tools to know where a utility class essay came from

My fork of nimble-html has - (pseudo) hydration - dom-reconciler for lists (based off udomdiff code) - ...${prop} spread syntax - types safety isn't possible directly with TS syntax, so .. it now has TS server plugin, CLI linter tool, vscode extension (for squiggly + syntax highlight)

I like DOM template API spec so far. The direction is awesome.

Playing with nimble-html. Added (naive) hydration logic: github.com/Munawwar/nim... It doesn't aim to reduce DOM creation, but only to preserve form element states. So no CPU/Mem savings, but whatever user typed before hydration is preserved. Trade-off for lesser LoC. cc @joe.trusktr.io

I think all SSR code has to be run in a sandbox on server so that any client-side library supply chain attack won't be able to mess with the server. I understand it's breaking the point of the original idea of "isomorphic code" but that era is coming to and end.

I am learning how to contain such a thing as a maintainer. Learning about "Step Security Harden Runner", learning about GitHub cache disable, socket SAST, different privileges in CI stages. Also as consumer - lavamoat/allow-scripts, pnpms defaults, socket sfw.

I can say for myself (am not a beginner), I use AI to personalize my learning. I buy books to counter the issue of topics that I didnt think of, but I throw it into a LLM to figure out important sections to read. I don't know what I am missing out. Impatience is terrible, and am trying to be better
