I'm working on an article/tutorial about how to develop an intuition behind the WCAG contrast rules so you can spot bad contrast problems yourself instead of getting surprised (and irritated) by contrast checker tools giving you failures later. And how to solve color contrast problems like what design options you have when two colors don't contrast.
After speaking to other designers, I find most want to follow the WCAG rules but get stuck going in circles not knowing how to fix color contrast issues e.g. when changing one color throws another one off, and how to work with brand/primary colors that lack contrast (like orange/yellow on white).
Since working on my palette designer, I developed a lot of intuition in this area so wanted to share what I learned. There's lots of articles on WCAG rules, but many will say "pick accessible colors" without really helping you understand how, especially when you have to stick to certain brand colors.

Given a database[1] and a set of DDL statements/migrations you want to check, pglockanalyze will open a transaction, execute the statements, read the pg_locks view to analyze the locks they acquire and rollback (or commit, depending on the flags you passed) the transaction. Then, it will output the results for each statement.
I think there's merit in this idea, that said it's very much an experiment so there could be flaws and/or corner cases that this strategy won't work well for.
It's meant to act as a complement, not a replacement, to things like static analysis and the official Postgres docs.

Aside from that, I'll be doing one thing I don't normally do much of over the weekend, and that's some $DAYJOB work. I'm working on some experiments with the OBO (On Behalf Of)[2] login flow with Azure Entra, and since I'll be on PTO most of next week, I'm trying to finish things up, at least to a point where I can cleanly hand it over to a co-worker to finish this coming week.

I’m also taking time to think about the bigger picture: what strategy makes the most sense for growing the project. Should I focus more on curating high-quality content for a niche audience, or go broader and try to reach casual readers with trending topics? Still figuring out the right balance between steady organic growth and faster promotional pushes.

The idea is to give it a task, let it do whatever it decides and expect to produce a result *inside container*. I'm still exploring this idea whether it makes sense, and is cost effective.

Probably overthink buying a mini PC to run Ubuntu on to do homelab like things, like running n8n or other docker images on like plex. Then probably abandon the idea and watch something off a streaming service, lol.

Also optimized workflow utilities and chat pipeline handling, updated the UI/UX for improved performance, and added an icon provider for model selection.
