I'm an English teacher - I'll be sharing carefulwords with my students and faculty. Thank you, it's bloody great.

It's great, astounding, divine, amazing, splendiferous.

wow! I love how the background/header generates as the page loads and you can click to add things on it. Overall, the design if amazing!

Awesome garden designer site! Add a similar idea, found this one https://my-garden.gardena.com but not really what I was looking for. Are you accepting contributions to the source code?

Ooh I like the interactive header

This would be nice for Bluesky. I deleted my account on Twitter after it turned into a hellscape.

I have been a fan of your site for a while. I loved all of your posts and brought you up in conversation sometimes. I also use your list of online galleries all the time. Keep up the good work.

Too small page margins.

https://nicer.app constantly undergoing improvements :-)

Love your garden! How big is your section? Or is this hypothetical?

Do you keep geese?

I noticed that tree sizes go to 200 if you put nonsense on the field (text emoticon etc).

I have about 7 acres. I kept geese once but they were killed when they ran off with a local 5K that ran by my house and they followed. They were never found.

I have kept ducks (meat) and chickens (eggs) at various times, but I ate all the ducks and I gave away the chickens just last month. Unfortunately free ranging chickens have been very destructive to my gardening, and I am trying to make the 2nd largest rose garden in NH, so that goal has priority.

Wow.

Also, what’s a 5k?

I'm guessing they mean a 5 kilometer running race, those are usually called 5k.

The garden website if beautifully done actually. I quite like how imperfect and non-straight the lines are eg of the house

that garden site is something I'll return to. I have a "baby" site at xeriscape.neocities.org and this kind of feature would be muy excellente to include

thanks

Did you hand draw those sketches on your personal site?

how did you make those animations on your main site?

I did it all by hand in HTML canvas. I have spent a long time making such things for years. My day job is making a canvas-based Diagramming library so I have some practice.

If you click on it the scene creates more objects by the way. And if you right-click and drag you can move them around.

And you charge 12$ for pinning your location on meetinghouse.cc, and ppl pay for that! Dude, you're a genius.
