Dyanimically Adjusting Image Text for Contrast
Yesterday I was pleasantly surprised to discover that one of my favorite JavaScript libraries, Color Thief, had gotten a major update. Color Thief examines an image and can tell you the dominant color as well as the five most used colors. I thought this was pretty cool, and over the past, I kid you not, 14 years, I've blogged about it a few times: Demo of Color Palettes and PhoneGap - from way back in 2012 Capturing camera/picture data without PhoneGap - in 2013 Drag and drop image matching sea...
Using Astro for a Combined RSS View and Generator
Ok, before I start, let me just clarify this demo is kind of a remix of my earlier post about building an RSS aggregator in Astro. I did run into some interesting issues this time around though and I figured it was worth a share. At Webflow, our developer docs are separated into different sections per product. For most of our developer products, we've got changelogs. So for example, here's the changelog for our Data APIs and here's one for our MCP server. We try to be good stewards of our develo...
Using Val Town to Get Me to the Movies
My wife and I both love going to the movies, but sometimes a few months will go by without us making it out there. Mostly we just forget what's coming out and don't realize till it's already on a streaming app. I thought it would be nice to build a tool that could help remind me of upcoming movie releases so we can make our theater going more of a consistent habit. To accomplish this, I used the The Movie Database APIs and Val Town. The First Version Before I even considered building a tool like...
ColdFusion Wrappers for Bluesky and Mastodon
It's been a hot minute since I opened a repo for ColdFusion code, but I thought I'd package up my previous wrapper for Mastodon support, port over my BoxLang Bluesky module, and properly release the code on GitHub for folks who want it: https://github.com/cfjedimaster/coldfusion-social-wrappers Right now I'm using one repo for both Bluesky and Mastodon. Usually I'd separate them, but with the "support" being a grand total of one file each, I figured no one would mind getting the "...
Links For You (2/22/26)
This is where I'd usually comment about how the past two weeks seemed to fly by in a blink, but I'm tired of saying that so... oh crap, too late. To be fair, part of the reason the time flew by this week was me being out of town for my first offsite with Webflow. I got to meet my boss, coworkers, and learn more about our company and what our plans are for the year. I'm really happy I joined Webflow and I'm looking forward to the future. It feels like it's been a while since I could say that and...
