does Jev understand colour? incredible model, very cheap and fast. definitely feels like a leap forward for creating new UX/UI paradigms on top of modern language models.

Oof 🥰
This weekend I've been working on a watercolor simulator based (as much as possible) on real physics. It's built on Curtis et al.'s watercolor model (SIGGRAPH 1997) with a fluid layer, drifting pigment and wet paper fibers. I decided to explore this because I love watercolor painting, and when I do some, my favourite moment is when the pigments get mixed inside the water and spread chaotically. The transparency, the lack of control, the depth of the colors in that moment is what I enjoy the most. So I started to wonder how code could help fix that moment in time and started chatting with my bestie Claudy. Early WIP so don't mind the look.

We weren't happy about wrangling with YAML and manually setting things up so we streamlined the process by detecting the repo stack. It's so easy now

Come work with me and some very smart folk
HIRING ✨ I’ll be opening a few Design Engineering and Product Design roles soon. You’ll work with a high-craft team building what’s next for GitHub, figuring out the tools and experiences people will rely on to build great software faster. DMs are open to chat informally!

🚀 We just launched GitHub Spark: a brand new app that makes going from idea to app easy. You can build using natural language, direct manipulation, and a one-click deploy button to share your creations. Huge kudos to @david_dossett, @dylanatsmith, @prchdk, and @deanblacc! 💥
