Pickle the tabby cats is sitting in an open box that previously contained some 3D printing filament. She barely fits in the base of the box and looks slightly confused about being there.

Here's my write up on building a prototype in TypeScript with thousands of universes, characters and dialogue trees, all generated locally. dev.to/thisisjofran...

Spent a long weekend playing D&D with some wonderful friends. Because I have the too-much gene, and because we were in this beautiful house, I made myself a suit of armour. It would have been rude not to pose it up.

Upgrade guide - Getting started Upgrading your Tailwind CSS projects from v3 to v4.

Fell foul of an interesting issue with @tailwindcss.com 4 and my fancy schmancy Surface Studio laptop, where I wasn't seeing any hover state styling. @collinsworth.dev worked out it was likely this tailwindcss.com/docs/upgrade... and the touchscreen being detected, even tho I'm in "desktop" mode.
