#web-dev

I recently moved my personal blog from Next.js to Astro as the framework to generate the site. In this post I'll share my experience with the transition, the benefits I've observed, and some challenges I encountered along the way.

I created a way to deploy only tagged versions of my site to production using Vercel and the release-please bot. I used Vercel's ignored build step and a custom script to check for the presence of release-please commit messages. This ensures that only properly tagged versions are deployed to production.

Ok in part 1 we looked at finding dominant colours in an image, we got as far as showing the top 8 colours by pixel count, and showed that this isn't necessarily the best solution for real-world images as there are micro variations of colour within the image that aren't always immediately obvious to the naked eye.

In this post I'm going to look at how to find the dominant colours in an image using JavaScript. This was a challenge I originally faced during a coding interview. I'll go over a simple JS implementation and some potential pitfalls to watch out for.
