After 15+ years of exploring "Easy 3D" through SDFs, we've now put #ProjectNeo together, which you can try today in beta here: https://t.co/DQqvYUap8u

@bwalkin @OpenAI Nice! Congrats Brandon!

Long before commercial touch devices, in ca. 1991–1992, James Gosling demonstrated inertial scrolling on the "Star7" PDA of Sun Microsystems.

@huveeer @yanosh looking great!

We did a lot at @notboring this year, but my proudest accomplishment may be hitting a career high for contributions (~2/day).

Not long ago I was managing teams and directing product decisions from a distance. Then I recognized that the creative people I admire most are not just leading their field but do so with their hands in the clay—Miyazaki, Fincher, Rubin, Baldessari.

As creative people, we're presented with false dilemmas all the time—Manager or IC track? Designer or developer? Build or lead? Rules set up by others to make you easier to manage. Don't play by someone else's rules.

Keep your hands in the clay.

Here's a thread of my best tweet shaders (>280 chars):

@mahalis Amazing as always, Noah!!

[harley turan @hturan]

here's me controlling GLSL shader uniforms using my hands. imprecise exploratory inputs — like finding the right parameters when making highly-dimensional generative art — feel like they're better suited to fluid movements.

Isolating the light and playing with settings. More UE optical/light studies. Using lots of my favorite cinema and films to help drive my outcomes :)

Why do some interactions just feel great?

To find out, I wrote a 3000-word essay on deconstructing the craft of interaction design through metaphors and examples.

Prototyped a little app that allows you to take frames from @figma and 'pull them into space'.

The frames stay linked to the canvas and update on any changes

[Andy Allen @asallen]

We’re working on a new (not boring) app. Rather than slowly tease it over months, let’s kill any hype right now…

It’s called Vibes.
It’s a personalized video game soundtrack for your life to help you focus, sleep, workout.

It's so exciting to have all of this out in the open, and to be able to share what it means for the future of the Immersive Web. I can't wait for more folks to get to play with this stuff - we've been having a blast so far! https://t.co/S4fASmJjjn

I put together some considerations around designing for Live Activities alongside a beautiful deep dive from @chan_k in the second half on the Dynamic Island.
