Thanks to a post on Mastodon, I came across Airbus’s open source font “B612”.

It was “designed and tested to be used on aircraft cockpit screens”, which makes it a perfect fit for small—even low-res—applications.

I like well-designed fonts with purpose—and I like, when companies share their findings and ultimately their resulting assets.

See for yourself and make good use of it: https://b612-font.com/

I was having a hard time, figuring out, how to use cURL to retrieve Airtable records with their new token-based API. Granted, I am a slow—albeit eager—learner. But their API documentation wasn’t that much help with references like curl -X POST https://api.airtable.com/v0/{YOURBASEID}/{YOURTABLEIDORTABLE_NAME}. What’s that supposed to mean? Where does that go?

For future me, here is what I found.

I have recently migrated a bunch of websites, that were on Perch version 3.2 (a.k.a. the last “regular” release), to Perch Runway 4.x. It is not always an easy route, is what I have learnt.

I enjoy using list() to disassemble arrays into named variables. Unfortunately it doesn’t like input arrays being too short. Here’s a small hack to account for that.
