This is interesting - seems good to place next to 'homecooked meal' apps - apps as cultural artifact...
Scrawl
As part of my general blog tidying-up I'm revisiting this website for rough writing I put together: https://scrawl.grantcuster.com

In some ways I think this is the precursor to the Tabletop series I've been doing. The design of it really did make me feel like it was OK to write quickly. I think maybe I want to start writing in it again, though I'd want it to sit nicely along with garden.
Moving the Garden
Post editor with live previews
Making steady progress on moving this blog over to a React app built on Waku for server-side rendering. Finally I'll have live post previews that look exactly (not 98%) like they do when published.
Thinking about the One Unbreakable Law video from Casey MuratoriConstraint Systems
Did a little reset of the https://constraint.systems page. Using gruvbox and Departure Mono. Switched off Hugo and redid it with React/Vite because I'm just much more used to it these days. I'd kind of like to do a similar revamp of this site and grantcuster.com... Spring cleaning.

Custom desktop panel
I've been searching for a reason/excuse to try Clay (and by extension C), and I just realized making a custom Wayland desktop panel (like this Rust-based one) is plausible.
This weekend
New desk backing, overhead camera setup and spot for extended monitor.
Clearer shot of the expanded overhead camera setup. It nees more light. Realized I could use magnets to attach light backing board. Will probably do more experiments with that.
Curious to try some digital/physical combos with the monitor-as-desktop
fantastic explainer video
