Slidorus is a torus-shaped twisty puzzle I made for the browser.

Pieces move on a 9x9 grid, whose rows and columns can be shifted in either direction. Bandaging of pieces and rows makes the puzzle much more challenging. There is also a selection of preconfigured challenges.

When facing a coding problem that you simply cannot solve, even after several attempts, what do you do?

What I never understood about Prettier is that it accepts different indentations of an object. This makes the formatting inconsistent. I assumed Prettier's job is to be opinionated about that? I don't even want to think about which version is better.

Changing ChatGPT's personality type in the settings was a game changer for me. I set the personality to "Robot" and added some further these instructions asking ChatGPT to just give me the info I need.

Going inside the torus that I have shown recently. This is made with only CSS.

Going inside the torus that I have shown recently. This is made with only CSS.
I just made a 3-dimensional tiled torus with #CSS only. 😀
Another showcase of how powerful CSS has become.

Did Amit ( @amitsheen.bsky.social ) already do something like this? Probably!
This torus is part of a browser game I am working on.

When you login to an app / website on a new device and it doesn't ask you to verify the device via a code sent by email, what do you think about the app?
I immediately think that this app has low security standards. Maybe I am exaggerating, though.
I'm glad it's becoming the standard.

I never really got on with #Svelte snippets. I prefer the design principle of one file for one component (KISS). Every time I used a snippet, I soon regretted it and either created a component or inlined the markup. I think this always improves the maintainability of the code. But maybe ... 1/2

In meinem neuen Video gibt es einen detaillierten Vergleich zwischen #svelte und #react. Wir programmieren dazu dieselbe Wochenplaner-Anwendung mit beiden Frameworks. Zwar sind die Konzepte dabei sehr ähnlich, aber die DX ist bei Svelte wesentlich besser.

I assume I make a lot of mistakes when writing English, as it's not my native language. (Can be confirmed easily by pasting one of my texts into Grammarly.) Do native speakers find this cringe-worthy? What do you think about mistakes by non-native speakers?

It's easy to recognize for readers. It makes a bad impression.
Don't have someone to actually carefully describe your product in their own words? Then why should I trust your product?

Idea for a social media app: users can filter the amount and degree of negativity they want to have in their feed.
I believe that many health issues are caused by an enormous amount of negative news we consume all day. Not to say they are not important. But too much is too much.
