It may not be feasible in some cases (e.g. chargers) but unplugging devices entirely may be smarter than taping LEDs. Not every device needs to be in standby all the time. my granddad was obsessed with reducing power consumption and had built actual light switches into his living room walls that cut power for all TV devices at once. So in a way, the annoying LEDs also serve as a reminder that there’s a device consuming energy that we may not even be using 90% of the time.

I was wondering the same, the ASD.. keys should ideally be the piano keys, like in most software synths

but it is a wooden barrel, just painted/coated on the outside. you can see it from the inside in this video https://youtu.be/TiohMRMdknU?t=45

the font is awful

er, I switched to firefox when it became a good browser again. will see what I can do about the cert. thx

Author here, thanks for the feedback.

Well the only thing I know about DeltaE I know from Bruce Lindbloom's website, where he uses the terms interchangably. http://brucelindbloom.com/Eqn_DeltaE_CMC.html

But I'm happy to try out the CIELAB deltaE as well. I can already see another dropdown for comparing difference metrics coming up :)

Will fix the text error you found.

--edit: after reading again I see that he used DeltaE as a sort of broader category. worth fixing as well

Part of the motivation for running your own static blog engine (as opposed to Medium) is that you believe in a decentralized internet. I used to run my own Wordpress server for a decade before I gave up dealing with the security flaws and moved to a static blog.

Sure, I could’ve just live without comments, but that’s again forcing the discussion into other „centralized“ communities like Twitter or Facebook. So I threw in the time to create and set up Schnack.js to have the best of both worlds: a static no-hazzle website with self-hosted comments.

Also I grew up in a time where virtually everyone would have self-hosted comment systems on their static self-hosted websites. Only they used to be called guestbooks then. Working on Schnack really reminded me of that magic time.

I wanted to do something like that for my static blog (and contact form for my company site), and couldn’ Find the time, so thanks to you for making this !

I’ll give it a try during holidays.

I wouldn’t exactly call 140k „lightweight“ ;-)

I suppose it depends on with what one compares. Compared with Disqus, which is, according to the article, about 750 kb, then, light-weigth. Compared with Schnack, then not light-weight. So, maybe both "yes" and "no" makes sense.

Anyway it loads quickly on my mobile phone (before I've scrolled down to the blog comments if I start scrolling directly) — maybe that's what matters, anything else people aren't going to notice anyway. ... Hmm unless they're on a slow 3G connection, then would be good if I could remove more js.
