Sep 2, 2026, 12:50 AMMy goal is to have Drops 1.0 submitted for review this week (no promises though). To that end, while it’s not quiiiite the final version yet, that meant I also needed to get the real website uploaded. So presenting the beta of https://dropstracker.app.
Also speaking of URLs, I spun up some dedicated socials here (@dropstracker) and on Bluesky. Need to figure out what to post about next 😅
Sep 2, 2026, 12:52 AMI let myself have a little fun and used this as a research project to try out CSS grid. Possibly, I did not use it optimally, but it felt a lot nicer than flex for what I wanted.
I also discovered drop shadow filters, which greatly simplified the image preprocessing and layout. There was a WebKit bug this ran into, but the bug had enough of a workaround for me to ship it (there’s a note in the CSS if you’re curious).
