A plugin for Micro.blog for presenting a slide carousel containing images and/or videos. Its code lives here. It was inspired by Jason Becker’s plugin with which I’m sure you are already familiar.

Okay, f$&k it. Calling this bug on them mobile Safari engineers. Only in iPhone portrait, everything I throw at enforcing the font-size get overridden with a value of 20px.

Despite the parental pre being cool…

and the code block actin' all cool when mobile Safari does not have the focus in the iPhone…

soon as it gains focus … 20 … f$&kin' … pixels…

Giant AF on an iPhone, perfectly fine in a tiny a$$ iPadOS popover. WTF?

Tomorrow will also see me fix this dumb f$&kin' @media artifact f$&kin' up the syntax highlighting on portrait phone screens.

Coming soon … a README to go along with the PrismJS Plugin I wrote today in order to bring syntax highlighting to the code in the README experiences I just posted.

A plugin for Micro.blog for adding Plausible Analytics. Its code lives here.

Okay, @manton, I believe I have throughly explained my Plausible Analytics plugin in the README file. plugin-plausible-plus oughta be ready for public consumption.

The list of currently deployed plugins offloaded from my custom theme if anyone wants to piddle in the HTML code being generated (figured I'd leave whitespace balancing for last, expect huge gaps). https://moondeer.blog

Now that I know how to get JSON data through a Micro.blog plugin parameter, thinking about running my banner system through plugification so that some of y'all could add banners into your themes with a line or two of code.

I mean … the whole lot are actually ready for public consumption … minus the README files describing the cool sh$t they add.

Okay, @manton, if any Micro.blog-heads are reading this. I finished the README for plugin-category-cloud. Should be ready for public consumption (as is the bookshelves plugin I posted earlier).

Okay, so @manton, apparently I am addicted to peeling pieces out of my custom theme to mold into plugins. This morning it was the Micro.blog bookshelf page. I even filled out the README. The plugin lives here.

Shame I didn't save more screenshots … 'cause I rolled my own app for controlling my entertainment system before Android was even a thing.

And the Twitter/Open Graph card injection has been plugified. Suppose tomorrow I'll start putting together READMEs on all the cool sh$t the plugins do. This one, for example, has a parameter for a JSON object holding a default card image and images looked up by path.

The Micro.blog plugins awaiting proper README files #ADHD

And the category cloud has been extracted into a plugin. Once I plugify the Twitter/OG cards, I'll workup all the READMEs and make the plugins available in the help center.

And now all the glightbox code in my custom Hugo theme and Micro.blog content runs through my new lightbox plugin, including the shortcode for parsing images out of Ulysess and the gallery lightbox. Figure I oughta actually work up the README file for this one.

And now my new lightbox plugin plays nicely with my new google tag manager plugin to push lightbox open and close events along with slide changes.

The Micro.blog Google Tag Manager plugin in action … tracking percent scrolled as well as 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of estimated reading time spent on a page.

Apple … if you really loved me … you'd let me write iOS and iPadOS Shortcuts scripts in Swift.

Y'all have no idea how much the whitespace sh$t show bothers me in Hugo templated site HTML. Maybe I should just figure out how to minify all the pages and give up on legibility.

A Google Tag Manager Hugo plugin for Micro.Blog that injects the requisite Javascript along with a data layer pushing post meta and estimated reading time with which timer events may be fired off for tracking actual digestion of content, holler if I oughta show under the hood.

Playing around with Google Tag Manager, used my custom Hugo theme to lay in some global Javascript variables capturing the per-post estimated reading time, which are picked up by Google Tag Manager to fire timers. Now Imma know when y'all actually be "reading" them essays.

Waste a morning proxying Plausible through Cloudflare and incorporating that configuration as an option into your Micro.blog plugin just 'cause you're curious … f$&kin' ✓

Processing audio signals to extract a chroma spectrogram for feeding into a neural network that predicts the likeliest of 74 frequency patterns forming common musical chords … what I was up to around this time last year.
