@haitchfive<p>It kind of makes sense for creative apps like a pixel art tool to be able to pick colours.

@haitchfive<p>Experimenting with native OS integration of Deluxe Draw for stuff that makes sense to offload to the host OS.</p><p>We already have OS dialog boxes, and they already work just fine, but I'm considering whether it makes sense to integrate other parts too, like modal windows and system menus, on certain hosts.</p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/DeluxeDraw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeluxeDraw</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>foss</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/golang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>golang</span></a></p>

Fiona Bianchi<p>I find myself in the unfortunate position of needing to find a contract (outside IR35 and remote) rather quickly - the client I was working with is having funding delays so we’ve paused for now. I’ve been working with Python and MicroPython with RP2040 based Microcontrollers (also looked at Teensy with circuit Python), Typescript, OpenOCD/GDB, bit of C, and circuit/PCB design. I can also program in Go, Ruby, JavaScript (NodeJS), shell, C/C++, Java, and trying to learn Rust also. Generally I just like to find out how stuff works, write clean code with lots of unit tests, and fix bugs and generally get stuff working 😀 Am UK based but happy to time shift or overlap for meetings with any country (my client/teammates were in NZ) <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/FediHire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FediHire</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Remote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Remote</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/RemoteWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RemoteWork</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/golang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>golang</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Python</span></a></p>
