Ivan Lugo 2023-12-11 03:40:31 Hey all! All abuzz that I’ve finally pushed the alpha version up of my Metal-based 3D code visualizer apps. After many months, I’ve finally gotten in my place:
- A brand new and extremely amateurish Metal rendering “engine” focused primarily on character glyphs.
- An, “is this a joke?” UTF8->UTF32->UnicodeGraphemeCluster GPU based text parser and basic layout engine.
- Download GitHub repositories in-app and view arbitrary textual files.
- Reset your atlas if you stumble into new languages online 🤓
If you’ve got an iPhone, iPad, or Mac device, I’d be happy to invite ya to the TestFlight to give the app a whirl where you’d like. Desktop builds and releases coming upon next coffee intake ritual.

Irvin Hwang 2023-12-11 21:32:22 Cool, made me think of primitive.io from the screenshot. I have an iphone I can try it out on if you're looking for testers, let me know what info you'd need.

Ivan Lugo 2023-12-14 21:55:13 Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been slowly un-terrifying myself of the complexities of GPU programming, and only just barely getting into the world of shaders, dynamically loading and updating them.. this gives me major motivation to keep plugging ❤
Stew O'Connor 2023-12-14 00:38:01 I've been working for Unison for the last three years. I got hired start and head up the Unison Cloud project, which today we are starting to open up to early adopters: unison.cloud The idea is that we want to make it as easy as possible to go from some function from HttpRequest -> HttpServer to a deployed service, but we also want to give a rich and modern distributed programming interface to that function. Hit me up if you want to get access to the Beta!
Tomas Čerkasas 2023-12-14 09:15:47 Hey Stew! Congrats! Looks awesome! I use Cloudflare workers - would love to try unison.cloud and see how they differ!
Anton Podviaznikov 2023-12-14 21:00:52 I'm currently working on a set of simple tools to make data from the apple products available on the traditional web.
There are few interesting moments here for me:
- liberate data from apple products
- explore idea of local first software but in a different way. what is cool with this approach that data lives locally on your devices and then I just sync it to the web where it can be viewed and used by everyone
It's not super challenging programming wise, but interesting to think about in terms of how software can be written

A new generation of collaborative software that allows users to retain ownership of their data.
ollie 2023-12-14 22:37:39 have some similar tools i've been thinking about open sourcing myself. most useful one has been iBooks highlights!
Rafał Pastuszak 2023-12-15 09:31:02 Montaigne looks lovely. I moved to Obsidian because of how well it supports hypertext (not an issue with Apple Notes nowadays IIRC) and I'm using Obsidian Publish for my lab notes (untested.sonnet.io) but I'm not really happy with it . Creating a publishing platform on top of Apple Notes does feel like magic to me tbh.
Perhaps you'll find some interesting ideas for Montaigne in my mini-review of Obsidian Publish:
untested.sonnet.io/Abusing+and+reviewing+Obsidian+Publish
My ideal would be: export to a format I can pipe into 11ty or a similar tool, then spit out a page with my own UX + optimised assets etc...
OR
- instead of folders, let me #tag the pages I want to export
- optimise assets out of the box (e.g.
.webp with in <picture> )

a boy on a skateboard, running away from seagulls I love Obsidian. I think it's an almost perfect hypertext editor. In a weird way it's closer to the spirit of the Web than most web browsers [[Cable …
Rafał Pastuszak 2023-12-15 09:33:11 Also +1 for offline-first software, most of the creative tools I build are offline-first, and are such for fairly selfish reasons: it's not just kinder to the user, but actually easier to write/architect.
Anton Podviaznikov 2023-12-15 10:27:24 @ollie please do! I was thinking doing something similar for iBooks since my gf uses it. So Wanted to export them too to the web

one of my sub goals was always just provide JSON api where people can fetch their notes and build any site they want. those are for people who don't want default UIs
Rafał Pastuszak 2023-12-15 17:10:15 Sweet, FYI I added a few lines on Recur in my TIL newsletter for this week. Thanks for giving me sth interesting to write about!
