Programming.Dev

Im going to be trying to set up a tech corner similar to what Programming.Dev did last year with the dark theme zone. Any groups who want to join on around the area feel free to reach out and we can do stuff like merge templates

I don't have a plan yet, but maybe something right to repair near there would work?

Here's our current plan at lemmy.nz: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=162&y=344&zoom=18&tu=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.nz%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F497358ad-b655-4ae1-9e42-ea70c303a63e.png&tw=112&tx=100&ty=300

Looks like we might be a bit more ambitious than others πŸ˜†. We had good participation last time though.

Edit: Updated to remove white background and convert to new colour palette.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

You'll want to make the background transparent for any pixels you don't actually want to make sure are white.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Ah, right, thanks!

How does one create a shareable template? Do we upload a picture somewhere on the site? What format is required?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

On the website click on Settings then put an image URL in the field (png preferably as it has transparency, but jpeg does work), then copy the URL of the website

it should add it to the end of the url

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Thanks! Seems pretty nifty. Cool how any embeddable image can be overlaid at an arbitrary location on the canvas, rescaled to any size, and shared with a link. Well done!

Is there any way to load multiple templates at once to see if/how they overlap?

~~[email protected] hey man, could you please move your art a bit ? You are currently drawing inside of the logo:/~~

E: never mind, I didn't notice you were already drawing something on top of the mastodon logo, sorry about that!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Thanks! Looks like a good start! I notice that there are some dark red pixels at the edges of some regions. I suspect this is because the original source image has black gridlines overlaid. Also, some of the colours don't match the available colour palette exactly. Would you consider tweaking the template?

you don't see it here, but bronies have already that location

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Note that that's not from the brony faction, it's someone else. Our official template is just https://lemmy.brony.place/canvas

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, noticed that afterwards. Updated it now.

So far no one out of the 8 templates I've seen are overlapping, nice.

I'm currently building a small Czech flag over here if someone wants to help (happy to make edits)

I'm trying to paint the TF2 logo: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=-50&y=-203&zoom=9&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2F4%2F48%2FTeam_Fortress_2_style_logo.svg%2F1024px-Team_Fortress_2_style_logo.svg.png&tw=25&tx=151&ty=43&ts=ONE_TO_ONE

Maybe someone else would like to help with that. I'm kinda struggling with picking the right colors, shouldn't there be a way to automatically pick the right color for the template?

Edit: It's done, now it only needs to be defended in case of vandalism :)

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

TF2 currently under attack by the aussies. I'm going to bed right now, so I can't defend it.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Thanks for letting me now and your help!
