Mimi Uploader 2022.0 is out with new features for Recent Uploads šŸŽ‰

Recent Uploads used to show only the uploads you make from Mimi Uploader. With the new update it will also show uploads made to your Micro.blog account from anywhere else.

Mimi is primarily a batch uploader and that is my favorite way of using it. I like to make blog posts that have a set of photos, and making that process smoother was the motivation to create Mimi in the first place. As such, each batch of photos shows up in Recent Uploads as a set.

The other uploads to a Micro.blog account are only accessible as individual images and are shown inline with the sets of Mimi uploads in the same reverse chronological list. A badge is used to indicate one type or another. There are other minor UI differences between the two types in the list, e.g. Mimi uploads shows a count of images. On the top right is a filter button that lets you filter for one type or another, if you choose to do so. The screenshots below show the new interface.

Exporting still works the same way with a right swipe. Sets of uploads made from Mimi can still be deleted with a left swipe. As always this only deletes the batch from Mimi and doesn’t affect the uploaded images. Other uploads don’t offer the deletion because they are representing the images on Micro.blog and not an uploaded set.

I hope you like this update as much as I liked making it.

After mulling over the change to the Recent Uploads interface over the last month, it seemed like the background color was a bit much, so I’ve tweaked the design to show an icon on the right. I think this looks much better. An added benefit is that I can also add the icon to the filter menu on the top right so that the meaning becomes obvious.

Every morning I come into the living room and sit on the sofa and my brain says, “Wordle”, so I’m soon playing that game. This has been going on for months.

Last week I went camping for three nights and I didn’t think of Wordle a single time. The morning after I returned I went into the living room and sat on the sofa and my brain said, “Wordle”.

It’s crazy how much of a pattern recognizer and responder the brain is, and how it makes these long lasting habits. Break a pattern briefly, lose a habit briefly.

Oh, and there was a time I used to get bothered by breaking a streak, but I’m glad that’s behind me.

Once I’d made the previous piece, I kept imagining those little black rectangles in motion, so in today’s p5.js exploration, I animated them.

For today’s p5.js exercise I went with inspiration from an art piece, specifically, Piet Mondrian’s Composition in Color A.

A query for computer keyboard people.

After a few days with an ErgoDox EZ I borrowed from a friend, I’m realizing that I:

What keyboards are available that would fit these attributes? I’m open to assembling if needed.

Playing around with p5.js again…
