Ah right! Yeah that sounds more likely if the app isn’t completely locked up.

There is probably a more elegant solution but would require further debugging to work out where handleChange is being called during that infinite loop.

To confirm that, you could stick a console.log inside handleChange and see if it fires repeatedly during the freeze.

If that is indeed the case, a brute-force fix would be to check to see if "$state.snapshot(value)" has changed before calling onchange.

My hunch (from just reading the code quickly) is that handleChange is being called recursively, and that when onchange fires and values are the same, it triggers a re-render within GradientInput.svelte, causing the freeze.

See you there I hope! I won’t be able to make the first edition of the journalism technology meetup sadly but I’ve signed up for updates.

The demons are on show at the Department of Labor These posters are the scariest thing I've seen in a while.

"This is almost like the Saturday Night Live of posters. You put three idiots together and they say 'okay, we're going to hire AI to do labor posters.'"

On a long enough timescale, every piece of software becomes a messaging app.

I probably can't get away with the 'I made these slides an hour ago' disclaimer again this time

@polygon.com I know you're going through some changes recently but really what on earth is this banner ad

Made me think I really should try to update my blog more often. How did I find so much to write about a decade ago?

This weekend I got an inexplicable urge to redo my personal website. Maybe it's all this recent talk of small web.

Anyway in lieu of a total revamp, I changed up the serif font, from round Jost to old friend Oswald. And fixed a bunch of broken links. Fight that bitrot, friends!

I used to like this style of documentation until LLMs co-opted it. Sigh

It’s rough! Good luck!
