(I've got hundreds of ideas in my notes file and various partially-completed projects; it makes sense to pick something up at the right time to make fast progress and step away if bogged down)

Launched this earlier; noted down the idea 10-15 years ago but it had to wait until it was easy enough to do well (been doing mapping for a client & also spotted suitable data source)

The Affinity apps are great, as long as the features they're still lacking aren't must-haves for you (I switched a long time ago, get along with Designer SO much better than I ever did with Illustrator)

Had a quick play with this, it's rough in places (eg no OTF fonts, some TTFs crash it) but impressive & a handy option if you don't have a motion graphics app installed. Hope they manage to get enough funding to stick with it, they should probably chat with the Photopea dev pikimov.com

It's election day! Which means that me and @christhebarker.bsky.social have launched the online version of #portillogeddon. Cross off the Tories as they are defeated by clicking on their faces. Or use automatic mode if you just want to sit back and watch it happen.
