I’m also curious to see some examples – I used to work at a well known software company in the outdoor recreation / fitness space that made a really big deal about social justice b…

I’m curious what their best-case outcome is here. It’s fully transparent at this point that Apple has no appetite for a third party iMessage client on any platform and will take wh…

Early versions of Trianglify supported noise addition using feTurbulence but I ultimately removed it because of some of the rendering inconsistencies mentioned in this thread, alon…

https://mela.recipes/ does this with its built-in browser/parser thing (and it has a bunch more incredibly useful stuff). Highly recommended, it's from Silvio Rizzi of "Reeder" fam…
