benjaminaster.com/css-minecraft/ by @benjaminaster.bsky.social is incredible! Editable Minecraft-style world, entirely CSS and HTML, not a single line of JS My notes on how it works here. It uses radio boxes for state, paused animations for controlling the viewport simonwillison.net/2025/May/26/...

In support requests I started tracking user preference for dark mode. The split is about 50/50. Receiving support walk-through screenshots in the wrong color mode can be super disorientating! When I send screenshots of Calibre, I first check their preference, update my own, THEN take screenshots 📸
