This was a fun one. We’d just migrated our docs to a new provider and I’d seen this request floating around so I thought I’d see how hard it would be. Had a PR up after a morning of work. You can just do things.

the trick: SVG displacement filter via CSS filter property. use on scaled duplicate content in the view finder element. that way, you don’t need to worry about backdrop-filter support 🤙 the tell: you don’t see all the content behind nice stuff 😎

One of the components I’ve been working on. Early days, visual clarity is still not good, but I think it has the right feel to it. Whole thing is an SVG, no JS involved yet. 17kb uncompressed.

My first big ship at @ngrokHQ. Been heads down with @codydotjs for the last two weeks rebuilding the ngrok blog from scratch, to support the ambitious content we want to make. Excited to start putting it through its paces 😈
We'll put our dogfood where our blog is; built, powered and served by ngrok itself. Take a peek at our glow up 👇 🔗 https://t.co/5NgrBjZxqE

Someone wrote an article about my receipt printer, and over the last ~24 hours I've gotten another thousand or so messages. They're all so positive and excited, I'm incredibly overwhelmed with joy 🥲
