What if you could draw ANY image using real city streets? latest experiment: Upload any picture → the app detects its edges → then autonomous agent trace and fill the image using actual roads from OpenStreetMap. Agents draws the outlines and fills the interior in green. The city itself becomes your canvas. Built with React 19 DeckGL MapLibre Overpass API Like/ RT to show support. #CreativeCoding #GenerativeArt #OpenStreetMap #DataViz #Maps #React #BuildingInPublic #UrbanArt

Enjoyed this piece about the upcoming React compiler 👏
#react 19 was just released, maybe React Compiler will be next? 🤞🏼 In the meantime, I measured how the Compiler impacts initial load and interaction #performance, in preparation for the future release. Actual numbers on a real app 😉 developerway.com/posts/how-r…

Loved that interactive piece, simple and effective 👏👏
This is “Martin.” At 7:20am he watches TV. At 10:15am he gets groceries. At noon he eats lunch. At 5:10pm he watches more TV. At 8:30pm he goes to bed. “Martin” lives a pretty isolated life. Find out why this matters in our newest piece by @alv9n. pudding.cool/2023/09/invisib…
