Tool for previewing `<system-color>` keywords - including windows contrast themes

Hey All, I just gathered all the colors which are returned in different browsers, OSs and contrast themes, light & dark modes and subsequently made this tool which you can use to preview them, (without needing a BrowserStack subscription!): https://codepen.io/crowjake/pen/MYyjpor If you wanted to you could also use the CSS to build your own color theme with <system-color> fallbacks and use my system for emulating how that would look in different browsers. ...

Can you explain why the children in 'topchop' div appearing side by side?

I have not marked the container as a flexbox explicitly. Should the display: flex property ever be inherited from the parent ? https://codepen.io/AccurateArrowz/pen/OPMaBPy...

Affinity All In One Editor

Affinity is an all-in-one editing powerhouse. It used to be three different apps: one for layout design, one for vector design, and one for raster design. Now it's all one app! Free with a Canva account (also free) but the AI tools cost monie. https://www.affinity.studio/...

Booking system ?

Google AppsScript

In the same vein as codepen, iCodeThis, scrimba editor, stackblitz, etc https://script.google.com/home has been really helpful for when you need a quick pseudo-server, quick webhook, esp if you need to connect to any Google Workspace products. Also can create a frontend interface. Im finding it like a Google Cloud Projects Lite (GCP is too complex for my experience level with backend; but can also be connected Apps Script x GCP if desired). Ive used it for quick webhooks (although i did spend 2 days learning that my POST request redirected and was converted to a GET request, the platform is was using couldnt follow redirects. So "quick" is relative 😆). Can connect to Cloud SQL, Firebase, or if you dont need a proper db , you can connect it to a Google Sheet to act as your table. I just used it to add a menu item to the sheet that runs my function to sync data or in another sheet, launches a form to add a new row to the sheet and validation for some columns. Ive also used an AppsScript web app webhook to store all my form submissions from my website in one sheet (tab for each form). ...
