 ## LCH colours
 
 I'm a big fan of the [LCH colour space](https://css.land/lch/), which is designed to allow for consistent human-perceived luminescence as the hue and chroma change. [Read more here](https://lea.verou.me/blog/2020/04/lch-colors-in-css-what-why-and-how/).

+## Finding colour schemes
+
+I regularly use the [paletton](https://paletton.com/) colour scheme finder to pick colours that work well together. It's great for finding colours that work well together, and is surprisingly sophisticated!

+## Puzzmo manifesto
+
+The [Puzzmo manifesto](https://www.puzzmo.com/public-manifesto) is all a good read, but the section play being health resonates with me!
+
+> Play is healthy
+>
+> Play is not kid stuff, or time-wasters, or gamification. Mindlessly matching gems while you watch tv is not play. Doing light math advertised to keep your brain elastic is not play. Work cannot be magically reformulated to become play. Play is its own thing. Play is engaging and all-encompassing. Play makes you feel light and free, even when it itself is deep and complex. Play is the companion of joy.

 On [any article page](https://asteriskmag.com/articles), if you highlight a block of text, an asterisk will appear which will let you bookmark that chunk of text — _entirely locally_. It stores the data in your browser's DB, so there's no data going back to the magazine about what the most highlighted section is, which is always nice.
 
 I haven't explored this feature a lot, but I'd be interested in exploring whether the highlights can survive edits of the article? What referencing mechanism they use for storing the locations of the highlights? (Is it a [CFI](https://idpf.org/epub/linking/cfi/epub-cfi.html)?) Can you manually export your highlights later, in a format that allows for citations? It's all quitr exciting.

+## Offline only
+
+This [blog post](https://chrisbolin.co/offline/) from Chris Bolin, and a magazine (referenced in the article) that extended from it are designed so that you can _only view them when disconnected from the internet_.
+
+I _love_ this idea. I'd probably make it so that you had to have been offline for a short while (say, 5 minutes) before you could engage with the site (perhaps showing a flowering bud that takes 5 minutes to bloom, before you can start the interaction), so that the temptation to just flip your wifi on and off all the time isn't there — otherwise this could just become an annoyance?
+
+I'd either let people click links but 'save them for later' (when they're back online), or keep the interaction totally within the site.
+
+## Stylying RSS feed
+
+I've used the recommendations on [this site](https://claytonerrington.com/blog/adding-some-flare-to-rss/) to ensure the RSS feeds on this site look pretty too! (Stick `index.xml` at the end of any page listing posts to see what I mean, eg [byjp.me/posts/index.xml](https://www.byjp.me/posts/index.xml).)
