In my monorepo, I had several tasks scattered across different packages.

* Run @temporal.io workflows manually
* Deploy smart contracts with hardhat (local/testnet)
* Create/deploy local graphs with @graphprotocol.bsky.social
* Run migrations/seeds ...and more.

In Chronical, users can customize parts of the overall theme to better align with their brand. While customization options are currently limited, our goal is to give users the tools to make their publications truly reflect their brand identity.

Thrilled with how Stories are shaping up on Chronical!

Apple pencil hover effect is sooooo good! I love it on the freeform app, but works so well on some websites as well, check how great it is at effect.website docs.

I usually track the text I’m reading with the pencil (and point at stuff), and here I get extra info in the hover dialogs 🥰

Finally, I implemented an optimistic pre-fetching strategy: while viewing an image, the assets to its left and right in the gallery are preloaded. This way, transitions feel instant when navigating between images.

Next, I tried blurring the currently displayed image and adding a loading spinner while fetching the next one. It looked better, but the transitions still felt slow and awkward—blurring an already fully loaded image didn’t feel right.

The first step was tweaking the `react-query` to keep the previously image data during transitions. This removed the blank screen issue, but the transitions still felt unresponsive.

Initially, navigating between images caused a blank screen or a noticeable delay while the next image loaded. It broke the flow and made the UI feel unpolished.

I really like this little transition. I think the fact that the SVG is accidentally off-center makes the rotation feel like it’s slightly moving upward, which somehow (IMO) gives it a nice vibe.

In Chronical, I want to render a masonry-like layout of stories that’s responsive and server-rendered. Today, I explored how to achieve this using only CSS.

I've been working on Chronical, a platform for #photography & storytelling. To stay motivated, I'll share updates—technical insights and feature highlights.

Today, I’ll showcase the public portal each publication gets, where users can explore stories, browse collections, and enjoy stunning images.

I’ve been working on a side project—a blog-like platform focused on photography. It’s a space where photographers can blend storytelling with their visuals.

Not sure if it will ever see the light of day, but I’ve learned a lot along the way.
