I'm working on an open source tool called noodles.gl that uses this library and it's been great. The devs have been good about keeping a cadence of solid changes and keeping the community updated, and overall I'm happy to have bet on this library years ago.

I love the flexibility and the fact that there's a variety of examples for basically anything I want to accomplish with it. Great work to the team.

Such a sweet story! My friend actually went to the author's Borg party a few weeks ago and I'm second-guessing my choices that night after reading this. Funny to see it on Hacker News!

If you guys like reading about this kind of thing I recommend Cocktail Codex from the people behind Death & Co (referenced in the article). It's a great way to think about cocktails as a remixable grammar and the purpose behind all the mixing, muddling, and stirring.

Any examples?

krebby · 8 months ago

Grasshopper for Rhino is a big one, or VisualCAD/CAM. Blender, Houdini, or Unreal Blueprints are others. It gives you the exploration benefits of a UI plus the procedural benefits of code. Inputs tend to be auto-bound which makes exploration much, much faster.

I'm working on one for web map data visualization: https://youtu.be/GJ0ftFB8r4I?t=871

I think we’re a lot of developers who are frustrated by constantly needing to choose between code or GUI… both have their use case, but I feel like there must be a system that combines both.

krebby · 8 months ago

How about a visual programming language? Plenty of 3D and CAD software uses a VPL for procedural design, which helps a ton to bring out the benefits of both

> React doesn't provide a way to explicitly bind to properties and events of DOM elements, or provide directives that apply to an element.

I didn't understand this part, can anyone shed light? What is different between what's being described here and what React does with event listeners, etc?

krebby · 8 months ago

I think this is referring to the fact that React uses synthetic event listeners - it's cheaper to bind an event listener once at the root and do your own element matching than it is to continuously bind and unbind listeners.

Looks cool, somebody should make a package that puts a nice API around it. However seems that those APIs are only in Chrome now, not Firefox or Safari.

krebby · 10 months ago

IMO it's simple enough to just write directly without library code.

For most cases, the Element Capture or Region Capture API should be sufficient: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen_Capt...

Demos: https://mdn.github.io/dom-examples/screen-capture-api/elemen... https://mdn.github.io/dom-examples/screen-capture-api/region...

If you need cross-browser compatibility (and can't just use a canvas) then yeah html2canvas is the way to go

Hi! Insaw this API when I was starting to work on snapDOM but I thought it was not ok for my needs so I discarded it. Regarding other API it would be great if View Transitions API could exposed the old view in a future

krebby · 10 months ago

What were your needs that the API didn't meet?

How does this compare to something like the the Media Capture API? Looks like this uses `canvas.toDataURL()` which can be slow to serialize compared to `toBlob` or `canvas.captureStream(0).getVideoTracks()`

I've been using CropTarget.fromElement with a CaptureController: https://gist.github.com/akre54/e93ab2ce27999aecb109e38085f2e...

Was always fascinated by SVG art. How good are LLMs in generating SVGs?

krebby · a year ago

Getting better!
