I'm a Vietnamese cis woman born and currently living in the U.S. You may know me from Sandwich, from Twitter or Mastodon (same username), or on Twitch as Sharkaeopteryx. I do not have a Discord or Bluesky account.

Ask me about language learning/teaching, cooking/eating food, late diagnosis ADHD, and volunteer small business mentoring. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.

I think people deserve to be young, make mistakes, and grow without being held to standards they don't know about yet and are still learning. So, if you are under 22, please don't try to strike up a friendship or get involved in discussions on my posts.

Please don't automatically assume I follow/know/co-sign someone just because I reposted something from them—sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Also, if you think being removed as a follower when we're not mutuals is a cardinal sin, please do not follow me.

hey Cohost artists

In case you were unaware, I made a grid generator that can be helpful for posting multiple pieces of art in the same post with more flexibility for size/display than the default image uploads give you! I just updated it with a few new features, including:

Instruction manual
Customize links for each image
Put captions under or over images

As an example, please appreciate three of my favorite @littlegoodfrog comic panels:

Mason: A straight person would never mess up macaroni this bad
Kimmy: God damn it... god... — Matchmaker

Franky thinking "MAKE OUT WITH ME" over and over — Flying Saucer Video

Mason: Slutty from head to toe
Kimmy: FUCK YEAH! — Matchmaker

made with @nex3's grid generator

This and all my other utilities are always linked from my profile!

I've seen a handful of people over the past year asking for a way to lay a grid of text in the same row as a picture as a sort of "aside" in an article. I think that could be straightforward and would make non-technical people (and/or people who don't want to go through the effort) really happy

Natalie @nex32/21/2024, 8:32 AM

this sort of mixed-text-and-markup stuff may be a better fit for something like Markdown PLUS that's all about composing an entire post rather than a tool that's more for injecting specific widgets

Malus @Malusdraco2/21/2024, 5:19 PM

it's probably a tall ask, but one of the things that frustrates me is that it opens images in a new tab when you click on it rather than simply a shadowbox overlay like regular image posts on the site. especially for sequential things, it's easy to lose the narrative between images if you have to go back and forth.
my devbrain says it's probably way trickier to implement than it seems though...

Natalie @nex32/21/2024, 8:33 PM

yeah unfortunately there's no way to fix this without Cohost devs adding built-in support for mid-text images (which I think I heard is pretty high on their priority list)

@dandelionblizzard2/24/2024, 2:21 AM

A feature to paste a batch of links at once (comma or newline separated) and have them automagically slurped in would be really useful. This is a similar generator with that feature (but it makes a <*table> instead of divs so it doesn't play well with differently sized images).

@dandelionblizzard2/29/2024, 7:18 AM

Thanks for responding! I also noticed that if I paste a link with a space at the start, it doesn't work. You should probably strip whitespace.
