I know it is well known and this tweet is too late. But a colleague of mine shared this paper on accessible touch screen interaction techniques. Great Read.

Hi guys! Need help to test a new #Palettizor feature. Found a colorpicker plugin, but maybe only works on win. Somebody with Mac/Linux can test it? Just click on some color in the left side. A window with color options pop-up?

Try it > https://kronbits.itch.io/palettizor

What I actually come here to post are a few nice bundles of assets I was told about recently:

- Lots of #PublicDomain 2-D stuff from Adam Saltsman: https://adamatomic.itch.io/

- A massive pack of models from all the Crypt * games by Lillith / Cicada Marrionette. USD$5: https://lilithzone.itch.io/mega-model-pack

And I should also note that I intend to be involved with #ForkOffTogether in some capacity; so if it becomes easy enough to do in the future, I'll likely be moving this instance to different software if we won't lose the database of old posts and things.

In light of improvements to what Mastodon does with them I've enabled invites for all users.

So you can invite a friend directly to an instance to make signing up less intimidating for new people.

Better info in this post on the new Mastodon blog: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/if-you-could-edit-tweets/

The UI framework I'm using for the LiSE frontend is #kivy, which has a lot going for it but doesn't support screenreaders

What it has is a provider system that would let it abstract away the differences between platform specific APIs, if they can design an API for Kivy apps to use that can be implemented upon all the target platforms

They don't have anyone familiar with those platform-specific APIs

Are you that person? Get in touch

Anybody got some cool, open-source grotesk fonts with a cybre flair to recommend? #typography #design

PS: Not talking about run-of-the-mill monospace fonts.

MASTODON NERDS, HEED MY WORDS:

I need your "random encounters for a fantasy warband" ideas again. Specifically looking for "things you might encounter in plains/fields" and "things you might encounter in woods". Ideally not just monsters - I'm thinking sidequest givers, upgrade offerers, or other things with more interesting "hooks" about them.

https://git.jonasfranz.software/JonasFranzDEV/gitea-github-migrator is a useful program I found for migrating your github issues + wiki + code over to gitea.

hope it helps anyone else looking to #deletegithub
