Winter sun coming at us sideways in the morning, so everything in #Tucson looks extra dramatic.

Rebuilding mental Django context, so of course I get a project idea for Go.

Silly brain.

Me: what should I do today?

The universe gives me a sign.

Me: Okay but is that playing Civ 2? Civ 6? Learning about electrical infrastructure?

converting a stylesheet from rgb to oklch is certainly a learning experience

Funkifying mvp.css.

Well okay it’s not very funky. Not yet. But I’ve had an enjoyable time tweaking it here and there.

(adding same page in original unadorned MVP.css, for those curious what I futzed with)

@masukomi agreed. This is what I’ve got so far for the light mode of my style adaptation

(mouse was over the last content card, resulting in a hover state light shadow)

@masukomi agreed. If I go strictly with the path I’ve been on, I’d fiddle more with luminosity for shadows. A little milder for default, and the current dark default to indicate active.

But I’m also pondering playing with luminosity of the card itself.

(Key color change was converting rgba to oklch, with distinct CSS variables for each oklch component. Dark mode uses the same hue, but different luminosity and chroma values)

a whole lot of CSS variables
