  • That being said, CSS frameworks are still wonderful, used right they can save a lot of time during early development by outsourcing the majority of design to the framework devs.

    That’s actually my intent with using a CSS framework. A personal project of mine reached minimum viable product statud status (phones…) recently, I included bulma, and used some of its components for stuff like menus and modals. It was definitely faster than writing everything by hand early on. But I also ended up writing my own CSS anyway, especially with the grid, which is the foundation on which my app works on (it’s a grid-based colour mixing app).

    I agree, I think CSS frameworks have a place for prototyping and we shouldn’t rely on them as a project moves towards a proper release 🤔

    Then again, some people might think the obfuscation in 20+ classes is somehow a good thing…frankly, I think it’s worse than inline styles. It’s basically obfuscated inline styles!






  • Natron is essentially the FOSS version of Nuke. And Nuke may seem overkill, but using it for simple tasks at first is a great way to familiarize yourself with the tool before using it for more complex ones.

    I used to use Nuke just to do some colour grading, or composite two animations together, back when I was in school for 3D animation. “Simple” stuff that Blender could’ve handled, but I liked how Nuke was designed specifically for composition and VFX. The focus helps, I find. Which made me happy that Natron is a thing (although I recall it having some stability issues with me).







  • Thanks for posting a better, more descriptive title than the original! And for including the YT link. TILVids doesn’t seem as accessible (lack of captions/subtitle) so having the option, although not idea, is better.

    I wish I could be all aboard with Flatpak, but I found out that there’s probably very few apps on there that actually works on a 32-bit OS (I’m trying to revive an old netbook). Probably part of that niche use case where Flatpak…falls flat[1]. So that netbook is stuck with the distro’s package maintainers.

    I do agree that there is a time and place for both the distro package managers and Flatpak/Snap and I wouldn’t want to see the former disappear completely. Even when Flatpak/Snap improves and have better coverage.


    1. I’ll see myself out 😶 ↩︎
