SVGs that feel like gifs
Today I got really excited about this article from Vincent Koaning. It turns out that you can use a combination of tools to create animated SVGs (!) of your command line activity. I’m really excited about this, because it means that I get to share my work!
Unfortunately, one of the packages upon which it critically depends svg-term-cli hasn’t been updated in six years. I spent several hours this evening trying to get it to install in NixOS, but I ran into the absolutely terrible tooling for building NPM packages in Nix.
Instead of building a custom flake, I contented myself with simply doing some nice Justfile scripts to make roundtripping files
tolerable.
I was hoping to give back a Nix config to the developer, but I guess not today!

Commitment unlocked: writing every day
This new setup is simple and pleasant enough that I believe I can persuade myself to write something new here every day. This is a promissory note.

About this site
I’m technically-minded so of course the first real writing here is about how I produce this site :)
