Developer. This is my main account for the time being. I have six profiles now on Mastodon, sigh.

I will remove followers who haven't posted anything.

Apple’s attention to detail is INSANE. You can’t watch this and not smile.

1/5 For the last two years I’ve been working on Plinky, sharing my work publicly while the app has been in beta.

Today it’s finally ready to go live in the App Store, and I’d like to not only share the app with you but share more about why I built it.

What is Plinky?

Pro tip for anyone exporting SVG web images where the fonts are converted to outlines:
If the typefaces in your original design files are offered as both .otf and .ttf fonts, use the .otf fonts.

All the major design apps use significantly more data points when outlining TTF curves, resulting in much larger file sizes (with or without compression).

In my tests on a large set of type specimen graphics, exporting identical designs with TTF fonts resulted in SVGs that were almost double the size.

I'll be giving my talk on Xilem at this afternoon (14:40 CEST). It'll be on the conference livestream: https://2024.rustnl.org/live/

There'll be a lot to present. Among other things, we did the 0.1 release of Xilem last night. Things are moving!

These new iPads Pro are clearly the best iPads ever made, and most powerful hardware in this form factor by a long shot.

Which is why it pains me that the most excitement I can drum up is an exasperated sigh

To understand how impossibly thin these new iPad Pros are, know this:

Apple's own Thunderbolt connector is thicker than the iPad.

Nano 8.0 Command-Line Text Editor Released – Key Bindings Have Now Joined The 21st Century

That is not the only improvement, but it is pretty significant to be able to now use CTRL-Q to quit, CTRL-C to copy, CTRL-X to cut, CTRL-V to paste, CTRL-F to search forward, CTRL-Z to undo, etc. The old key bindings (being very old) were a bit like ...continues

Am I the only one confused by ? They feel clunky, it's not at all clear what is going on, and honestly doesn't feel any different than a password manager (but somehow worse)

I really don't even understand what is going on under the hood. Are there any good explainers out there?

A major project I've been working on for many months is rendering vector graphics strokes on GPU. @armansito and I recently wrote a paper on our techniques, and it's now available on arXiv (and also submitted to a relevant conference): https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.00127

There's accompanying code and some more resources in the repo: https://github.com/linebender/gpu-stroke-expansion-paper. And of course there's the implementation in Vello.

I'm very proud of this work. Fingers crossed the paper gets accepted.

Very happy to announce that @tomcoates and I have been given a grant to develop an end-to-end encryption (E2EE) protocol for DMs, including a reference implementation and a report to submit to the W3C SocialCG.

Biggest surprise from the Nordic APIs Austin summit? Apparently 2022 was a HUGE year for investing in companies whose mission is to convert OpenAPI documents into SDKs... at least $65m between 5 companies. Wild! https://ahl.dtrace.org/2024/04/17/austin-api-summit-wrap-up/

React 19 Beta is here, and finally has better support for HTML custom elements: https://react.dev/blog/2024/04/25/react-19#whats-new-in-react-19

"React 19 adds full support for custom elements and passes all tests on Custom Elements Everywhere."

This is a big deal for Web Component-powered design systems. We've had to create/manage a special React-specific wrapper layer for a long time to deal with React's (mis)handling of custom elements. Other frameworks Just Work w Web Components, so I'm glad React is joining the club
