A new video export option on Windows that uses the operating system's video encoder instead of having to download ffmpeg, canvas resize optimization, more project playback work and some bugfixes.

The main new feature being the brush history, which lets you go back to brushes you used in chronological order. It also lets you recover deleted brushes and keeps track of brushes received from other users.
There's also a discussion of the future of recording playback, which will make use of the new project file format, and some smaller fixes and features along the way.

Up to 100 lines now, and it simulates various retirement finance scenarios. It answers questions like the following: What kind of yearly wages would be needed to live to the ripe old ages of 80, 90, or even 100? What kind of monthly savings? After the retirement age of 67, how long will the savings last before running out? All the while dogged by inflation? There's many interesting trends revealed by playing with all these numbers. #devblog #dev #golang #finance

Today I wrote my first #golang program. I didn't use #AI. About 35 lines of code. I learned from "Go by Example":

Publishing an app on FDroid was fun. Or rather, I managed to do it, so in the end it was fun. But do I have learned something? I hope so. And before I forgot everything I wrote id down something about it here: https://allibragi.codeberg.page/dev-blog/wiw-1/

Drawpile development update for the past two weeks: https://docs.drawpile.net/devblog/2026/06/21/dev-update
Several new animation features again, a new fan fill tool, some brush engine improvements, a setting for the default file name and a few smaller fixes.
There's also video exporting on Android using the system's built-in media encoder. This is simultaneously also making its way into #krita. If you want to help test that, check out https://krita-artists.org/t/testing-wanted-android-timelapse-export/185468

Good article about the state of #AI in #development. The numbers are impressive, maybe alerting.
https://dev.to/elvissautet/2026-ai-users-vs-the-unemployed-3jk4
PS: so far I read 3 articles and think I really can recommend his #devblog. Good written, not too technical (often those details harm readability), a broad view on the topic, and supported by numbers.

Mostly more work on the new project file format, which integrates with the new autosave/autorecord mechanism.
And also several workarounds for Xiaomi devices on Android that are shared with Krita again.

Together with @hko I have worked on the "File Hierarchy for the Verification of OS Artifacts" (#VOA) in 2024 and 2025.
This #STF ( @sovtechfund ) funded #specification and #ReferenceImplementation (🦀) enables technology and distribution agnostic verification of OS artifacts.

Drawpile development update for the last two weeks: https://docs.drawpile.net/devblog/2025/12/21/dev-update.html
Topics are a rework of the settings interface speeding up build times by a whole 10% and progress on autosaving. Or really, autorecording, with every brush stroke saved immediately and possibilites for timelapses, tracking time spent actively drawing and a few different kinds of time-travel.

@Catwoman69y2k I've concluded that much of the "join xyz platform for updates" mentality comes from the one-two punch of both web browsers ditching RSS and Atom and Google ditching Google Reader.
Say a free software project maintainer writes a development blog. The audience may or may not already have an RSS reader installed. This means the project maintainer might feel responsible for recommending a reader application for all 7 major platforms (Windows, macOS, desktop Linux, iOS, Android, Chrome extension, Firefox extension). Otherwise, people will land on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_feed_aggregators and experience analysis paralysis.
I guess one disadvantage of protocols is that platforms have tended to do better at landing pages than protocols. Is there a page to which a blogger can refer visitors who have never used RSS before?

Hello #fediverse
I am happy to share my blog has reached 20k+ all time views.
I started around 2020 as a creative outlet in my boring life and it has transformed into an archive of knowledge.
I am not a frequent poster these days, as seen by the blog posts' dates but it fills me with joy whenever I post something.
It's a piece of history, research time and effort being preserved in a textual format for me to go back and read.

Sometimes it helps to look at game design through the 'Smooth/Chunky vibes' lens.
Smooth:
🥛 small numbers, small changes
🥛 stat parity
🥛 player-facing rules
🥛 4d6
🥛 predictable consequencesChunky:
🥜 one dice for everything
🥜 big changes, high variance
🥜 1d100
🥜 you have two stats
🥜 random tablesBlog article with examples from my recent design work here:
