My small act of #resistance against the #enshittification of the web today has been to use client-side #XSLT for something different that #RSS styling: generating multiple #SVG plots from the same #XML data:

Ten years ago they tried this shit with #SMIL
https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/5o0yiO440LM/m/YGEJBsjUAwAJ
the web standard for JS-less animations and interactions that can be used to build interactive #SVG graphics. That one was luckily aborted. Now it's time to put pressure on them to keep #XSLT in.
We have a new person doing the Inkscape challenges this month and I was wondering if you guys would throw them a bit of attention for their first one? Draw a boat using #inkscape 🚣

Two of my favorite and most frequently used #SVG tools:
SVG/URL encoder https://yoksel.github.io/url-encoder/
SVG crop https://svgcrop.com

I have certainly shared these tools before throughout the years, especially during the period I focused a lot on SVG. I love them and use them so much I wanted to reshare.

It's not even javascript, it's just SMIL animation with triggers.

Okay here is my very simple concept for a #FediCard - a "business card" that encourages people to join the #Fediverse and links to @_elena 's explanatory video.
My idea is that people can hand these out at #protests, political organizations, and so forth - where politically active people gather who already have had bad experiences with commercial social media.
The back side could be customized further to list an instance which is most relevant to the place where you want to share them - for example, I want to print a variant for the gruene.social #Mastodon instance.
I will certainly try to apply my meagre #design skills to make this more appealing, but first I wanted to hear what you all think of this concept, and what your suggestions for improvement are.
(Note: If you want to play around with the design, I have made it available in #SVG / #Inkscape format. The template has the 85 x 55 mm size for European business cards, so you will want to adjust it for other regions.)

Here is the fourth iteration of my #FediCard . The idea is to hand these out at #protests , political organizations, and anywhere else where people might be receptive to leaving corporate social media behind.
The QR code links to @_elena 's explanatory video of the #Fediverse .
In this iteration, I have included some variants for different front and back sides. There is a front side specifically made for the #NoKings protests.
I've also made various back sides that either lead to the "landing page" of different systems, or which list the user name of specific users (in this case me). You could put your own user name there, and use this to connect to other Fediverse users in the real world.
For the next step I need some more #FediHelp feedback:
1. Are there any other "landing sites" for major #Fediverse systems I should add? I mean "landing sites" in the sense that you can pick a specific server, not how to host your own, since I want to make joining the Fediverse as simple as possible for newbies.
2. Are there any #GraphicDesign issues that I need to take care of with these pages?
3. If you have #Inkscape (you can download it at https://inkscape.org/ ), can you check if you have any problems with modifying the #SVG files for your own purposes? (Such as making a back side with your own user name.)
Once I am satisfied with this version, I will make a variant with the American 3.5×2 inch size - the current version uses the European 85x55 mm standard.
I am also willing to make translations for other languages but (unless the text is in German) you will have to provide a translation. I am further willing to make variants for specific protests.
Although it is my hope that people will use the files and ideas I have provided, and come up with their own variants.

I wrote a new article for Frontend Masters: Step Gradients with a Given Number of Steps!
Consider this problem: you are given 2 hex codes + a number of steps. How would you code a step gradient? Think about it, then see my solution https://frontendmasters.com/blog/step-gradients-with-a-given-number-of-steps/
Hope you enjoy, a lot of work went into it.
