One of the best things about building your own apps or running side projects, is you can literally ship a cool OKLCH gradient in your components

@krispuckett Why do these startups always sound so much like an 1980s cult?

[Sam Baines @_smbns]

@eddort_dev @threejs Dude this is so cool, I'd love to know more about how you built the engine etc - any technical posts to read about it?

[Sam Baines @_smbns]

@driceroland This is sooooo good. Exactly the kind of directory I've been looking for, one that respects the original creators and doesn't charge to access them!

@kemsdesigns Your dashboard version has some okay UI elements but from a product design perspective, it has some much wrong with it too

[Sam Baines @_smbns]

@HeyAnsariUX Looks pretty clean, just watch out for the alignment down here with the Figma logo being in a circle and pushing everything over. Also bar chart probably isn't that usable as it is currently.

@aarondfrancis @himanshuq14 Nice, seen so many grifters lately, so having to check!

[Sam Baines @_smbns]

@Shpigford This is what I keep finding, I'll use an open source tool and find its not quite right for what I want and then end up building something bespoke. Maybe making things OSS isn't needed for everything.

@Udhayya_ I assume patterns would just be auto-assigned, and regarding developers, they should always have users in mind

[Sam Baines @_smbns]

@Udhayya_ I may be wrong but I don't think your red or green support text would pass contrast checks. For the graphs, the bar chart, add some patterns to each block so if a person is colourblind they can still read the graphs easily.

@buildwithlazar I've seen some more credible claims, but this one is wild - like yeah they share an aesthetic, but majority of it is different enough.

[Sam Baines @_smbns]

@ctatedev But you've got to admit, this is only possible right because of how well known the Pokemon brand and Pokemon Go game are? You won't be able to use this to make anything bespoke easily.

@designcoursecom @jonocatliff If I got bodied this hard by GSAP, I don't think I'd ever recover enough to make another video again 😂

@mronge @linuz90 @Shpigford Have you also seen @lucaronin Tolaria.md app?

[Sam Baines @_smbns]

@lucaronin This looks interesting, are you using it/could you use it for ticket writing for development? Or as a bullet journal replacement?

[Sam Baines @_smbns]

@Joshua_Ariza @praveenisomer Praveen posted this to show how to use shaders, it was heavily inspired by another designer's work, I think he didn't credit them at all (or literally only just added it in the last hour in a reply). I think thats the context.

[Sam Baines @_smbns]

@krispuckett I'm excited to share something I've built soon!
