On Sunday, I delivered the PocketPortal workshop again: this time, at InterAccess in Toronto for Vector Fest! (thank you, Tiffany!) 馃帀
A second workshop = a second version of the zine = two new example projects to remix = testing out the WEMOS D1 mini v2
I'm so happy I got the chance to improve the workshop, and achieve some of the things I didn't have time to do the first time around (like a slide deck and more example projects).
![Screenshot of the git commit that explains all the changes I've made to the zine for v2.
It reads:
馃帀 Pocket Portal zine v2
New workshop = Updated zine! Here's a summary of changes:
- [x] Fixed the cover (sooooo, who was gonna tell me that the original cover said "play" twice??? 馃憖馃槀)
- [x] Changed "text editor" to "source-code editor", not text editor thanks to Wikipedia (even though a source-code editor is a type of text editor)
- [x] Only mention VS Codium, no VS Code (because that's really only what I use)
- [x] Mention device limit
- [x] Replace singular graphics with cover image in the image folder
- [x] Swap out dark mode screenshots for high contrast light mode (to save ink)
- [x] Add missing images to image folder
- [x] Add alt text to images
- [x] Remove https:// when writing out of links
- [x] Digital version: have the page numbers stay to the right
- [x] Fix the sizing of the quarter zine print (it was off by like 0.01 cm or something lol)](https://cdn.masto.host/vissocial/media_attachments/files/114/859/124/461/567/125/original/8644bb66fe010ed2.png)
