Just released by me: OmniShuffle - A unified command-line music shuffler built with python, it combines Spotify, Pandora, and YouTube Music into a single streaming experience with pianobar-style controls and Last.fm scrobbling support.

This will eventually replace my pianobar-setup I've used for 10+ years. https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/pianobar-macos

Mastodon Bird UI support for Mastodon v4.6.0 with CSS properties is coming soon. The theme will also be modularized using SCSS partials to match Mastodon's new style infrastructure.

The build process will include npm scripts and Parcel, making the theme ultra-portable for any Mastodon instance, whether added through the Custom CSS textarea or directly by a Mastodon admin.

I'll also create a simple bash script for Mastodon admins to enable the theme as a selectable option more easily than the current fork-and-cut method.

This is no easy feat, but definitely worth it.

Progress in the nightly branch.

I'm having a bit of scope creep here. I've also been dealing with a migraine, work stress, and lack of time.

On top of implementing CSS tokens, Parcel, and CSS modularization, I'm refactoring everything to add support for installing the ultra-accessible variation for others too, not just users of my Mastodon fork.

Mastodon Bird UI 4.0.0 for Mastodon 4.6.0 is going to be awesome. I'm hoping to see even more instances adopting it. I'll continue supporting the Custom CSS-only approach for masto.host users and others without filesystem access, while also making life easier for Mastodon admins.

Hang tight, I'll get there soon.

Currently working on the new template system and migrating the base template to MJML. I'm also taking the opportunity to refine the typography and apply the Major Third scale to the default font sizes. 🎶 📖

The simplicity of Markdown plus the flexibility of fully custom MJML/HTML templates? Yes, please! (currently work in progress) #buildinpublic #emailmarketing #opensource #floss #foss

I am so happy that this feature is finally live. It's probably not a big deal to most users but it took a lot of time and work.

One of the cool things this adds is that people who don't have their own domain can automatically send their newsletters from one of our domains, making newsletters much more accessible to less tech-savvy people.
