I dont have many followers, but I'm doing a charity bike ride for MS. Hoping to reach a modest goal of $500. Would be grateful to anyone who can contribute :)

@ProtonDrive No Linux support? Can I access document editing via the web interface?

[Gavin @GavinNL]

@maxliani Looking great! Is this rendered using RTX or is this some other kind of path tracing?

[Gavin @GavinNL]

@ocornut Awesome work as usual! And thanks for linking my ImJSchema library! Hope others find it useful!

[Gavin @GavinNL]

I needed a way to dynamically create UI forms in @dearimgui. So I developed this library which can build forms using JSON Schemas. Hope others find it useful as well.

@melsariffodeen Congrats Melissa! I didn't know you were doing a PhD! What's it in?

[Gavin @GavinNL]

@AlfalfaAnne @iconmonstr Thanks Anne! I've been looking for some icons.

@SebAaltonen I stand corrected.

[Gavin @GavinNL]

@SebAaltonen It doesn't look like their sphere meshes. To me it looks like billboards and the spheres are generated in the fragment shader via ray intersection

[Gavin @GavinNL]

@gitlost :(

[Gavin @GavinNL]

@SebAaltonen Do you think webgpu could replace all the low level apis since it uses the best one for that platform? I've been learning that hoping that one day I can write everything in c++/webgpu/emscripten for cross-platform graphics

@SaschaWillems2 I've recently set up my KVM environment for Linux and windows virtual machines with gpu pass through so I can do vulkan dev. I haven't done Mac yet, I'm dreading it.

[Gavin @GavinNL]

Holy moly @Linux_Mint, just updated from 21.0 to 21.1, this has to be the most impressive changes I've seen in a minor version update! Everything is so smooth and the sounds and mouse cursors are fantastic!

I always wondered how #Linux #AppImages worked, so I did a bit of research and wrote a blog post explaining the basic technology behind AppImages

@SaschaWillems2 Your hard work is always appreciated! No one would know how to use vulkan without you!

[Gavin @GavinNL]

@SebAaltonen For TODOs I use #pragma message "todo: fix this later". That way it annoys me with a compiler output message each time I compile until I fix it.

@cg_kru I cannot state how much I love being able to generate descriptor set layouts and pipeline layouts directly from the spirv code!
