Two asks, one row of the studio each. The first is copy: a band under the header, the same shape the verify bar below it takes, saying which features are on trial, on whom, and until when. It is a notice and not a task, so it wears the plain surface rather than the accent, and it carries no dismiss: the date is the message. The string is in the dictionary like every other, Vietnamese as written and English beside it — the band is one line at both lengths in a 1440-wide window, and it sets no nowrap, so a narrow window wraps it rather than cutting it. The second is the WB panel's presets. They were a wrapping strip of seven identical pills, which is the wrong shape for one kind of value read against the others: nothing about "SHADE" said 7500K, and nothing about the row said which end of the scale anything was on. They are a TABLE now — two columns of buttons, laid out as a grid — and each button is painted with the cast it puts on the frame: the same swatch the TEMPERATURE ruler already prints under its track (temperatureSwatch, the engine's own gains on a mid grey, halved), so the button and the ruler cannot disagree, and the kelvin is printed on the button beside the name. A button that is a swatch cannot use the theme's text colour for its label: the fill is a mid grey by construction, and mid grey is exactly where white and the light theme's near-black both sit near the 4.5:1 line. So the label is given the ink that fill can carry, chosen by WCAG's relative luminance against black and against white — whichever of the two ratios is larger, which is the one that cannot fall under 4.5:1. The border is that same ink, which is what makes a button stand out from the page it sits on and from the six beside it; the accent takes the border over while the preset is the one in force, since the fill can no longer say so. Both the fill and the ink ride in as inline styles — they are the value, not the theme — so the chip needed two fields and a tinted class, and the row needed a grid mode. The TEMP strip reads the same two fields through choiceChips, because the same seven presets are painted in both places and two opinions about 3200K is the bug this would have been. The chip's own value slot is deliberately unused here: `.chip .val` sets its own dim colour, and a dim grey on a mid grey button is the failure this commit is about. Verified: scripts/wb-table-check.mjs — readableInk picks the better of its two inks for black, white and four mid greys, all 151 swatches across the ruler (2500..10000K, every 50) and all seven presets clear 4.5:1 under the ink they are given, the swatch runs the way the ruler does (red up, blue down, #517eff at 2500K to #947d61 at 10000K), and the seven presets collapse to the five fills their kelvins do. In the running app through a probe: the notice prints in both languages (Vietnamese one line, unclipped), 7 buttons in a 147px + 147px grid, TUNGSTEN filled rgb(98,130,187) with ink rgb(11,14,18) and a 2px border of the same, AUTO the accent border rgb(206,117,9) while it is the preset in force, and the panel holds at 420px wide without overflowing. The panel was viewed in both themes. npx tsc --noEmit clean, npm run build clean. Co-authored-by: PenguinHarness <noreply@penguin.local>
RecipesCam
RecipesCam is a camera and photo-editing app built around recipes — reusable
looks that carry a film simulation plus a full set of adjustments. You shoot or
open a photo, dial in a look, and keep it as a recipe you can apply again, share
as a .recipe file, or save to your account.
It ships twice from one repository: a React Native (Expo) app for iOS and
Android, and a self-contained web build under docker/ that runs the same
render pipeline in the browser.
What it does
- Shoot with a recipe applied. Live viewfinder, GPS-tagged captures, and the recipe baked into the saved file.
- Film simulations. Built-in looks — PROVIPES, VELVIPES, CLASSIC CHRIPES, CLASSIC NEGIPES, ASTIPES, ETERNIPES, ACRIPES, B&W HIGH CONTRAST and the LC STREETLIFE pair — each with its own grain and tone curve.
- The full adjustment set. Exposure, contrast, highlights and shadows, saturation, colour temperature, clarity, grain, and an HSL mixer with a colour picker that samples straight off the photo.
- Geometry. Crop to a fixed ratio or free-form, quarter turns, and a straighten ruler, plus printed frames (classic border, retro instant, wall frame portrait/landscape).
- Finishing. Watermark and GPS stamp, EXIF carried through the export, JPEG written with a proper 300 DPI JFIF header.
- On-device upscaling. A Real-ESRGAN pass runs locally when an export asks for more pixels than the source has — no server sees the photo.
- Recipes. Save, favourite, export and import
.recipefiles; the web build keeps them in your account, the phone build also keeps them on device.
The two builds
| Build | Where | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| iOS / Android | repo root | Expo + React Native, @shopify/react-native-skia for the render pipeline, NativeWind for styling |
| Web | docker/ |
Vite + React, CanvasKit (canvaskit-wasm) for the same pipeline, Fastify + SQLite API for accounts and recipes |
The render engine is shared by design: the web build compiles the app's own
src/utils/* and type definitions unchanged, with @shopify/react-native-skia
aliased to a CanvasKit shim (docker/frontend/src/engine/skiaShim.ts). A look
looks the same on both because it is the same code.
Running the web build
cd docker
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up -d --build
# → http://localhost:8090
Photos never leave the browser: grading, framing, watermarking and JPEG
encoding all run in the visitor's tab; the API only stores accounts and recipe
JSON. See docker/README.md for the layout and the proxy setup.
Running the app
npm install
npx expo start # Expo Go / dev client
npx expo run:android # or run:ios for a native build
Repository layout
