So, I make bits of software, mostly plug-ins for platforms like #DaVinciResolve or #Blender, mostly because I have a particular thing that needs doing that no-one has catered to. And I yoik them up to Codeberg and if I'm feeling organised I'll write them up on my blog, so that anyone else that has the same particular need can benefit too. I have no intention of selling them, because marketing stuff is not something I remotely enjoy doing, testing and bug fixing is too time consuming, and because I consider it payment for all the free software I get to use.
Generally I release everything under the #GPL3, because it's the one I know about. I'm not really a #coder, and I'm far less a #lawyer, so I have no idea if this is the best option.
So the question I want to #AskFedi is: what do you do with small #code projects you write? What license do you release them under and why, and how do you go about distributing them?
I've only ever had one or two people fork my code or make PRs, I don't think a lot of people in my industry also code, so everything I do is a solo project. So I'd be interested in how people find collaborators for stuff they do.

#tinyCSStip
Revert animated parent transform (like a scale or skew) on child without an extra animation using registered custom properties.
#cssWish That we could have a zero count for the number of columns in `repeat()`.
That repeat count is often computed. Let's say I want double the width for selected column k out of n columns:
```
repeat(var(--k), var(--w))
calc(2*var(--w)
repeat(calc(var(--n) - var(--k) - 1), var(--w))
```
DON'T use layered text-shadows for text outlines just because text-stroke is broken (https://mastodon.social/@anatudor/112410224855133935), they are going to produce ugly corners, thickened roundings and angled lines.
DO: use `paint-order: stroke fill` instead!
