  • Project mention: Seeking Guidance and Implementation Tips for Vanta.js-like Effects in Flutter | /r/flutterhelp | 2023-06-01

    Looking that the source code, it seems that these are implemented using shaders. Those are a new thing in Flutter, so I'd try to go that road. You probably need a CustomPaint with a CustomPainter, painting a Rect with a Paint using that Shader, feeding it all input parameters. I've absolutely no experience with shaders in Flutter, but that's what I'd try for something simple like the fog. For the birds, you'd probably need to implement a lot of 3D geometry yourself.

    Your project portfolio I actually thought was a troll at first, the colors, alignments, fonts, are all just horrendous. No offense, you're not a designer. But just use a nice clean template, there are hundreds out there. Use a UI kit, something. It has to be readable at the very least.

  • Project mention: Figma's Journey to TypeScript | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-04

    I don't like Typescript because it forces me to think about types and data structures and stuff. Which is a Good Thing because I absolutely have to think about that stuff when working on large codebases with a team of colleagues: without the inline documentation and text editor help TS gives me when working on those codebases I'd be (at least!) 10x slower when refactoring old code or adding new code. And nobody wants to pay a slow developer!

    However ... the one place I refuse to use Typescript is in my side project - a JS canvas library. I can justify this because: 1. it's a big codebase, but I know every line of it intimately having spent the last 10 years (re-)writing it; 2. nobody else contributes (and I kinda like it that way); and 3. I keep a close eye on competing canvas libraries and I've watched several of them go through the immense (frustrating!) work of converting their codebases to TS over the past few years and, seriously, I don't need that pain in my not-paid-for life.

    Even so, I do maintain a .d.ts file for the library's 'API' (the functions devs would use when building a canvas using my library) because the testing, documentation and autocompletion help it offers is too useful to ignore. It is additional work, but it's just one file[1] and I can live with that.
