Man, we just spend a week fighting through edge cases in Rye's when porting to our engine. Yours was so much more robust but all the generated code was a big gate keeper. Thank you for this WebGPU version, hopefully I can learn from it.
They don't make them like they used to.
Same project code in NotePlan, Notion, Figma, Slack channels and invoices . I experimented with including short git hash in file name but it requires too much setup.
Nothing crazy. I have project codes "PEX YYNNN Project Name". My repo is called PEX-yynnn-project-name" eg "pex-24001-genuary" or "var-25004-nike-project" and same named folder in Dropbox/Screenshots/PEX-24001-genuary. Then my files are named by graph/experiment-name-version-timestamp.
AWS situation is now stabilising so it's good to see how the number of incidents spiked during last couple of days. As AWS was on fire i've looked into service status visualisation we did for Maintel last year. variable.io/maintel-digi...
All great things come to an end. Extremely happy I could contribute Spirit Plant to this year Expo. Seeing people experiencing your art is the biggest award.
Exploring the personal archive. Early UI for reverse image search of my 65k images WIP screenshots collection.
Thank you Szymon! It is one of my favourites too!
I've finally put together a v1 of full case study including info about data, algorithms, behind the scenes and whole look dev process. Video content to follow!
How will the flower bloom in 2100?
We collaborated with artist Annelie Berner to create a generative web tool that visualizes how the Circaea Alpina flower might evolve in response to future climate conditions.

I know them well and microdose their visuals on regular basis.
When you work on something and stumble upon unrelated look and feel that makes your synapses fire in a cascade. Could be Data, could be AI, or just bunch of real-time glowing cuboids. Up to you.
I would love Ben Navis icon to be somewhere on the left. It took me a second to decode that Munros are not 10x bigger than it. It looks a bit as Ben Navis is there on the far right tiny and shy.

When I started @variable.io I dreamed of project breakdowns like this: hardware, networking, software architecture, rendering behind the scenes, data and lessons learned.
Check it out.
What if brand was an algorithm?
Our latest case study is a motion design tool for
HebbiaAI developed for @pentagramdesign.bsky.social Building upon a stunning brand we've created a dynamic grid that moves, adapts and is intuitive to use.
Procedural. 100% JavaScript baby!
3d flowers have 3d meshes.
3d meshes are 3d.
Let's do more 3d things with them.
I might like the B&W edition a bit more.
Have a nice weekend!

GPU Says "ok"
Another floral project documentation is in the works.

Gemini-cli was breath of fresh air and I hope to play with it more.
Another reason is that I don't have 19.99$ * N for all models out there. I already pay for Twitter Pro so I might as well use it. Less friction. Gemi is some cluster fuck of auth/logins ( I have company and personal account and 2 comps and need to re-login 8x a day) and whatever Vertex AI is...
Because I think it is wrong to say FU to 10y of relationships I build there in name of politics and current CEO/owner. I'm happy to be the counter example of all shit that is there. Bluesky is nice but nobody is there or people are just cross posting like me.
Works with FigJam and big Figma boards too.
This really does open new era of 2d/3d mixing in Nodes.
So Grok 4 came out and I always wanted Figma integration in
nodes.io so I vibe coded myself one. No more genAI videos in your mockups. Bring mockups to you art instead!
Current LEGO setup at my home studio. Modular and geometric. With a print of Urban Flora #0 in the background.
