Moved elsewhere. Check my website:

It’s been a while but I’ve basically moved off here now. I’m on Threads at the same handle. If you’re there, come say hi.

Refrakt is now open to the public, and there’s some really cool work being shared there. If you’re a photographer, check it out ❤️ link is in my bio.

I have some news—I’m returning to freelance in 2025!

I’m looking to have a bit more time to explore Canada while I’m here, and to get back to photography and Refrakt.

If you or your company is looking for an engineer and/or a designer, say hi. Would love to chat.

Coming soon to @PERdotMA

[sam king @samkingco]

I'm starting to go deeper into shaders at work, and it turns out I'm basically rebuilding Lightroom. It's so much math which I kinda hate, the HSL sliders in particular have been giving me grief today. However it's really cool when it all starts to work.

@davegorum film cameras slowing the process down to be more in touch with the medium

@surrealapp I keep getting the same image and details minted, despite the form being different. A caching bug maybe? Restarting the app doesn’t do anything

[sam king @samkingco]

@surrealapp how do I expand comments, or is this a bug?

@_alinatrifan @emely_timm Refrakt 😬

[sam king @samkingco]

@mikker I’m scared to update any of my old sites but they need doing lol

[sam king @samkingco]

It’s for https://t.co/6opZRdfkCE btw for a smidge of context

[sam king @samkingco]

Do I know any branding designers that would be able to help me with some refinement work, or even some directional work? I have a vague idea in my head but would love to chat through it with someone.

[sam king @samkingco]

@chadsnuts @ajwaxman I’ll send something over on Discord a bit later today/tomorrow!

[sam king @samkingco]

@analogexits @read_cv Hey Pratik, would you be able to forward me a copy to mail at samking dot co? Would love to see it!

[sam king @samkingco]

@AnthonyMenecola Would recommend react-query or swr. Down to pair if you need it

[sam king @samkingco]

@pixel_arts @nextjs Yeah I have a branch with a migration, but it's a pain in the ass to do modal routes, and the core experience is basically that.

[sam king @samkingco]

This cannot be normal. @nextjs 14.1.0 with pages router. It just chugs my laptop and I have to restart it every 20 mins. So close to moving off next completely. It's almost impossible to do any meaningful frontend work.

[sam king @samkingco]

@FlakPhoto It’s @refrakt_app 👀

[sam king @samkingco]

How do you deal with a much larger company ripping off your ideas/implementations? Call them out? Wait for someone else to call them out? Say nothing?
