hmmm...i'm getting sneaking suspicions...

i don't think i have any especially crazy examples but there are some silly ones!

this was more the work of @twilight-sparkle, but the dashboard unfucker userscript (which was a bit cursed in its own right) modified feature flags by stealing window property real estate before tumblr could get to it.

Object.defineProperty(window, '___INITIAL_STATE___', { // thanks twilight-sparkle-irl!
    set (x) {
      state = x;
    },
    get () {
      try {
        return {
          ...state,
          Dashboard: modifyInitialTimeline(state.Dashboard, 'dashboard'),
          PeeprRoute: modifyInitialTimeline(state.PeeprRoute, 'peepr'),
          obfuscatedFeatures: modifyObfuscatedFeatures(state.obfuscatedFeatures, featureSet)
        };
      } catch (e) {
        console.error('Failed to modify features', e);
      }
      return state;
    },
    enumerable: true,
    configurable: true
  });

also on the subject of dashboard unfucker the content width function was an unholy mess of event listeners and content size math but it was 100% responsive in real time and would actively update the right and left margins as the document size changed WHILE keeping the same relative horizontal positioning, something that i straight up couldn't replicate in dashboard plus because the newest redpop layout is such a trash fire of useless nesting containers that i couldn't find a css hack to make it not overflow or break in some way

i've mentioned this before but the current api method that chutils uses to arbitrarily fetch data for a project (without something to copy react props from) is via the search api because it's faster than all of the other methods i've tried (the "slow method" is just fetching the html page and copying the initial state from that).

/**
 * fetches info for a project
 * @param {string} handle 
 * @returns {Promise <object>} project info for the given handle 
 */
export const getProject = async handle => {
  if (!projectMap.has(handle)) {
    try {
      const [{ projects }] = await batchTrpc(['projects.searchByHandle'], { 0: { query: handle, skipMinimum: false } }); // the search function is currently the fastest way to get info from a handle. it's stupid, i know
      const project = projects.find(p => p.handle === handle);
      projectMap.set(handle, project);
    } catch (e) {
      console.warn('search method failed, attempting slow method', e);
      projectMap.set(handle, await getProjectSlow(handle));
    }
  }

  return projectMap.get(handle);
};

7. what animal do you look forward to seeing when you visit an aquarium?

Would love to see a gummi fish touch tank, of course, but aside from that I enjoy seeing jellyfish! They're very fun and interesting-looking.

27. what’s your favorite or go-to outfit?

Biiig fan of high-rise jeggings, they're very comfy. In the winter, I usually pair them with oversized hoodies or sweaters, and in the summer, I enjoy crop tops.

last meal on earth?

Roasted brussel sprouts with bacon and maple syrup!

hehehe
i'm a fiend for gummy candy and sharks are no exception <3
