Web Excursions are select bookmarks from my travels around the interwebs, because I'm always thinking about you while discovering other people's cool stuff. You mean that much to me. You can see all of my (public) bookmarks on my LinkDing, and visit the bookmarks archive for curated lists across the last few years.

Web excursions brought to you in partnership with Setapp. Get access to hundreds of Mac and iOS apps for one low monthly subscription fee.

LivePhotosKit JS
Did you know that there’s a javascript library for playing Apple’s Live Photos on the web? It has a full API for customizing controls and playback options. I’m not certain I’ll find anything useful to do with it, but smart move on Apple’s part to start opening the format up to legitimate use outside of Photos.
