Mimi Uploader now offers more options for image processing and exporting 🎉

Two side by side screenshots of the new features.

  • You can now change the size of images you upload to any size you like. You can also change the JPG compression quality. These features can be found in the redesigned Image preferences screen in Settings -> Image.
  • Export preferences have a new option to wrap exported images in links to themselves. Find it in Settings -> Export.

You can find these in the new version that is out today.

I hope you like and use these features as much as I do. Let me know what you think 😊

P.S. Note that this release does not contain the support for Alt Text that I talked about a few weeks ago. I’m still working on that and should have that ready in the coming weeks.

A wordle in which I narrowed down to four in the second guess but I’m not able to get the word until the sixth and final guess.

Five days ago was the day that marked 50% of my life in the US, I realized today.

Sneak peek at upcoming support for Alt Text in Mimi Uploader 👀

As you can see, this also necessitated a redesign on the Recent Uploads screen to make it a lot more dynamic.

Hot on the heels of the release of the first images from JWST, the team also released the data used to create those final images.

I downloaded some images of the Carina Nebula dataset and was enthralled by these intermediate black and white images. I love how crisp they are.

I haven’t looked into the process too much to be able to infer which wavelengths these are depicting, but that is irrelevant to just admiring them as lovely images 😍.

First Images from the James Webb Space Telescope

I’ve been marveling at these first science images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) over the last week. Here they are, pulled from the official source linked below, followed by some links to interesting articles that give lovely context.

In the days since these images were released there have been a number of articles and posts that provide context for these images. Here are a few of those:

And this is only the start! I can’t wait to see all the images and discoveries the JWST will bring to humanity.

Back at making some p5.js stuff. Revisiting a previous piece, but this time making the lines look like they may be hand drawn.
