Some professional news: after freelancing for 8 years I'm joining the News Applications team at @ProPublica I'm very excited to continue working on the kinds of large, ambitious projects I've been able to contribute to over there.
Sometimes I'm struggled with the performance and inconsistent behaviour between browsers while using css-doodle. This often leads me to consider switching to other tools.
But I really like the syntax of css-doodle. So maybe I could reimplement it using another render layer other than CSS, like canvas?
@yuanchuan I'm sure you already know this, but you can also combine canvas and svg, by layering divs on top of each other. I'd love to see what you'd do with that.
@andypiper@frozencanuck@mike@seb@anca It would be really great to meet other admins, especially any who went through that whole migration thing and having to learn a lot really fast :)
Part of getting the new community instance (datavis.social) up and running was deciding on my profile header. I went with an IterativeArt piece I created with code and the text "F*ck Cancer".
I started working on this piece in the days after my diagnosis but before going in for surgery. Even with my frustrations and scary emotions about Cancer, that I was feeling at the time, I still wanted to make the piece beautiful. As usual :)
In case you haven't followed along, my recovery is going really well.
I am so grateful to everyone who participated in making my recovery possible....so many amazing people work hard everyday to help other people through this experience.
