Clones are going live at @crittersquest today!
Some great threads are floating around, but the Marketplace is what I want to talk about, and the opportunity to explore a darker theme inside the CQ ecosystem.
It’s the most fun I've had building UI at CQ.🧵

We just settled the DOM-based vs WebGPU canvas debate.
This is our WebGPU canvas rendering ~7,000 real HTML/CSS frames with over 2 million elements, at 120 fps.
And it's not just static designs. Every frame runs your full app so you can click around etc.
We built our own HTML renderer that supports every single CSS property (blurs, shadows, gradients, 3D transforms, you name it). We have full parity with chrome's own renderer!
This is possible because we own the entire pipeline. Our custom bundler takes almost any codebase and splits out its HTML, CSS and JS that is optimized for our canvas.
We basically built a mini browser, in Rust, running inside your browser.
Two years of infra work compounding and coming together finally 🥲
Best use of ai produced to date.
This is a message for @realDonaldTrump.
Donald, this is on the table. Guarantee healthcare for every American, from cradle to grave.

Madam Speaker!
Kamlager-Dove on Hegseth Impeachment: We knew that this vote was coming, so people should have gotten their raggedy selves up these steps to vote. There is no reason why we should have lost this vote because of attendance issues.
You know this man should not be in this position. That’s why he got up at 8 o’clock in the morning with his sorry self to plead to the American people.
So shame on folks who are not here. Because these people lost. They lost, and they still found a way to show up to table this bill. Shameful.

In the mid nineties, if you were fortunate and resourceful enough to get physically mailed vinyl promos, this is what would arrive. Vinyl with what was called a “one sheet”.

Built a physical simulation of a record player with WebGL2 and Web Audio. It's *shockingly* accurate: vinyl-gl.vercel.app.
Instead of playing a song, it works by converting it into the physical shape of a groove. Then a simulated stylus rides those walls 384,000 times a second, and you hear the voltage that motion would induce in a cartridge.
So the crackle, the pops, the wow/flutter, the dull inner grooves are natural byproducts of the simulation. You can also "DJ" the record.
(The converted songs are in the public domain or CC-licensed. Code is linked for you to remix and re-deploy.)

Most of America never saw these ads, but if you were in Mississippi... you couldn't wait for a new @scott_colom ad to drop. His wife, Nadia, was a 🗝 figure in showing support, partnership, and bringing your attention to his campaign in the earlier days.💙

designing the motion was one thing
figuring out how to ship it was another 🚀
a little look at the figma motion pipeline we built for the latest shopify editions ↓

Happy to announce that I'm starting to focus on writing more and more. AND THERE ARE SO MANY STORIES OR HOT TAKES I HAVE TO SHARE!!
Some will be about music, others will be about tech, as well as the latent space where both meet. Futuristic contraptions, vintage gear, cutting-edge software, emerging trends for music creators, old-skool production anecdotes, and much more will be on the menu.
So please take a moment to follow my new presence on:
worldofechoes.substack.com
There isn't much there yet at the moment, but I can assure you that I am gearing up to be using that platform to share my thoughts in a more coherent and in-depth manner.
