April 12 2025 Community Call

Notes:

  • The switch from v3 to v4 on freesewing.eu.
    • Just a few bugs, not too serious, most just annoying.
    • The OS-level dark mode font contrast bug.
      • It’s an interaction between Docusaurus, TailwindCSS, and Daisy.
      • Difficult issue to work on because bug doesn’t appear during development, only after deployment. Already tried twice to fix it.
      • Hopefully an upgrade to one of the components will fix it.
      • Add a note to the website to let people know that the issue is known? Joost will add to his TBD list.
    • OAuth sign-in isn’t working, for example if you try to login using Google.
      • Related to the removal of language support from FreeSewing.
      • Hope to fix this soon.
    • Pattern Layout: Moved parts snap back to original position until “Apply Layout” button is pressed.
      • The workaround works and is easy.
      • The issue is slightly complicated to fix. The layout state isn’t properly updated upon the initial load of the pattern. The core library re-renders correctly but not using the updated layout.
  • Latest newsletter about data move from US to EU.
    • Feedback mostly positive.
  • Dragon snowsuit.
    • Saw one in Colorado, a tail-less one.
    • Ambition to make one.
    • How to handle the tail? A tail might be useful when skiing, but can’t be worn on the chairlift. Detachable, zipper? Like a backpack? Attached using a flap?
  • GitHub to Codeberg.
    • All the git-related things are the same. Just all the other things are different.
    • Hit Codeberg rate limits during the migration. Because PRs were converted into Issues and issue-creation had a rate limit.
    • People would need to sign up with Codeberg. Usernames might be different than FreeSewing/GitHub/etc.
  • Contributors and volunteers to FreeSewing.
    • FreeSewing’s donorship to MSF.
    • “Joost’s Favorite” pancake house order.
  • Projects:
    • Green bridesmaid dress for a Hobbitcore wedding.
    • Working on sewing Onyx for full-body tracking suit. Problem adding zipper to panels. Construction zipper (attached using adhesive)?
    • Cleaning up Jasmine’s code.
    • Working on Jett jacket.
    • Starting to make garments for someone else, starting with Bella, inspired by a vintage top.
  • What is the workflow for migrating a personal workspace from GitHub to Codeberg?
    • Can use git to update the remote repository to point to Codeberg instead of GitHub and then push to Codeberg.
  • Discord and the new Forum. Switch from Discord voice conferencing to an alternative for Community Calls?
    • We’ll leave things as they are for now and address in the future if needed.
