got my first roll on new film camera developed and i am very pleased

i have such a niche help request but… has anyone ever worked on chat-bubble text-wrapping? I’m trying to figure out the rules how iMessage wraps text tightly around its bubbles—it’s not just max-width and sometime the second line of a bubble is longer than the first!

bought a button press for a team building exercise and full stop does not work and the instructions are indecipherable. any mechanical engineers out there know why the button backing and film won’t adhere together and get sucked up into the press? 🥲

new design crit preamble before providing feedback: 

is it hot? does it look good? are you proud to serve it?

Noticing a delightful amount of transparency from Nintendo lately on creativity and work policies that have enabled some of their success.

really excited that this pride month, castro labs is partnering with HER, the beloved FLINTA dating platform, as they launch new bent communities where HER members can come together across their cities

Really cool to post a project on here and get a little email to say it’s been featured on the Front Page! This is a little zine I made about words found within HEX codes.

any engineers wanna build queer stuff? 👀 https://read.cv/teams/castrolabs/mobile-software-engineer-product-ruixNLUgdQz4ERHm5Hxv

wfh with no home internet. figma is fighting for its life on tethered to my phone

Saturday Scaries a thing now since to SVB drama making me nervous about job stability at my tiny start-up job 🙃

can anyone help w a Figma color question? I'm trying to use HSL for my palette, but Figma defaults to HEX. That in and of itself is fine — but when entering the HSL value in the main Figma fill panel, it gives me a different a HEX value than when I enter it in the variable tool?

humbling to agonize over details to get a feature right, research it, launch it, and then day 2 someone says it doesn’t do exactly what you agonized over and built 😭 back to the drawing board

recently got my first film camera and could use some help 😩 does anyone know what the meter index in the viewfinder moving means when my lens is on automatic? i’ve been adjusting shutter speed so the meter hovers in the middle of the index but idk why i think that’s right.
