A piece I've been working on last week: a young wyvern. The fur pattern is inspired by aardwolves.

Imagine waking up and finding out that things have changed quite a bit....

A different piece compared to my usual art. I started it one year ago, but stopped because I wasn't quite up to it yet. Now I was. wyvUwu

Here's the I promised. wvrnMlem

I'm a software developer in the physical realm, and a fluffy wyvern who draws vector art in the online realm. Chances are you have at least seen some of my emojis before. wvrnBox
I attached some of my art, but if you want to see all of it, go to volpeon.ink
For questions about commissions and other things, please check my FAQ: volpeon.ink/faq/

The account date may suggest otherwise, but I've been on the fediverse for about 5 years now. I just have a tendency to try new servers and lose my history in the process. wvrnAngel

I also have a separate account for all sorts of posts I don't want to put on here, such as writing experiments or personal topics: @areon

If you're wondering how this leads to Markdown files being turned into HTML with templates, the process is comprised of these steps:

Page<".md", string, {}> -> Page<".md", string, frontmatter data> -> Page<".html", string, frontmatter data>

Anything that becomes Page<".html", string, ...> before the template hook in the pipeline will be processable by templates ingesting Page<".html", string, ...>.

I generalized the concept of templates to work with any page type. Most of the time they're going to ingest Page<".html", string, ...> as shown here, but you could have templates for anything

I overhauled the API to avoid all the weird function chaining. It's less awkward now, and the reported input and output types are correct areonNCute

The only problem is pages whose Type is a union. I use Exclude to mutate the input and output types and it doesn't work reliably because of that. Page<".md" | ".mdx", ...> shouldn't be in the output

Soon it'll tell you what input formats it expects and what formats it outputs, along with the expected and returned metadata respectively. I love using types to do impressive stuff like this. areonNAngel

I might be able to even get rid of the distinction between pages and templates. Templates are just a final transformation step, exactly the same as calling ´site.process´ and having it, say, turn Markdown files into HTML.
I was thinking about how to solve support for Vue templates since these turn a single page into multiple files, including SCSS. And then how would I compile the SCSS if templates are the final step? Removing this distinction would make it possible since there can be any kind of processing afterwards.
