Rik Schennink @rikschennink.com · 03/09/2026I spent the past two days cleaning up and improving the cropguide.io landing page. I've replaced the hero illustrations with photos, added a video that shows the editor (it blends in the page), and the live demo is now more to the point. Thanks @kilianvalkhof.com and @hidde.blog for the feedback. 281
Rik Schennink @rikschennink.com · 01/09/2026It's _this_ easy to add CropGuide to a website. As a test I opened Bluesky and copy pasted the cropguide.io script to my Chrome developer console and then selected an image to post. 😅 It just works! 🪄 0100

Rik Schennink @rikschennink.com · 29/08/2026I’ve been collecting the game boxes of the games I used to design levels for as a hobby. I’ve yet to find DOOM for a good price, but a month ago I finally found a Quake 2 box that looked great. It arrived by mail today, turns out the seller didn’t bother to package it properly. Such a waste :( 110

Rik Schennink @rikschennink.com · 22/06/2026Dialog view transitions with invoker commands. 1. Intercept the "command" and "cancel" events. 2. Run startViewTransition(), in the callback move the view-transition-name from the <button> to <dialog> (and back). 3. Then call `showModal()` or `close()` to toggle the dialog. 1172
