When you're in founder mode, happiness hits 3X: 1. Brainstorming product & designing 2. Bringing it to life & becoming the first user 3. Getting DMs from happy users while watching revenue grow Never outsource your happiness P.S. time to roll up the sleeves and break out Swift

> 5 mins before bed. Been prototyping a page for a couple hours and one section is bugging me. What can I do in a couple minutes to add some rizz? > Yeah, add number-flow.barvian.me/ Thanks @MBarvian , you made my day, now I can sleep peacefully

> Could u make smth dark tech, streamline and... xmas? > Hold my glühwein P.S. posteffects are the king @threejs @pmndrs #creativecoding #webgl

> No, these are not shadcn components! > Prove it > * Removes "flat" from "Canvas" * For a week now, I've been promising myself to break free from functionality and try using post-effects and custom materials on panels. @threejs @pmndrs #webgl

What's more difficult: - creating UI on Canvas with 100 charts and 120fps? OR - making a pixel art tree wall tilemap in two hours to present at a conference? Thanks to @aseprite for making an artist's life a little easier See you at DevGamm Lisbon [HARVEST URANUS booth] :)

Shadcn components / Recharts... but in Canvas? When you need 100 instances with 9 graphs each stable >100fps and html/svg are no longer suitable Thanks to @threejs for the amazing library and @pmndrs for the amazing tools #webgl #highload

Experimenting with post-effects, shaders and chains of generators, oscillators (musical ones), and effects. Since this strongly reminds me guitar effects & synths, decided to make a playground in the form of a pedalboard. Will share later. @threejs #shaders #creativecoding

Building Void Engine (using Three.js and RF as a base) that will help Design Engineers be creative in 3d space

WebGL math = the best tools for creative developers Building a loader for void engine #creativecoding #webgl This article is great, btw jamie-wong.com/2016/08/05/we…

I guess we are doing 404 now #creativecoding

Built some reading UX with SwiftUI Kinda digging switching from JS/Python Gotta deep dive into animations

Worked on a freelance project (10h). Turned out cool. @plasmohq ❤️ @shadcn 🙏 #creativedevelopment #AI

Figma flying panels make me mad So I fix it in 1 hr With Extension called "Make @figma Great Again" Did't push it public yet, using for myself. Share or nah? #figma #indiedev #buildinpublic #design #ui3

Concept for a mobile video editor with layer mechanics, voiceover & transcript, effects... ...for which I wasn't paid. The client disappeared halfway through and started ghosting me. I'm calm: I love what I do, so I enjoy every minute spent on research and design 🙏 Posted it on @dribbble dribbble.com/shots/24672487-… P.S. @veedstudio Maybe you need a mobile app? :)

Couldn't find how to set the transformOrigin to rotate slider drag trigger in @rive_app , so I had to create a frame in Figma with an edge at the circle's radius... which is a very strange solution. Is there any hack for this?

A brief slice of indie hacking life 🚀: — Finances became an issue, so I postponed projects for two weeks to resolve it. Looked for a job, found a job. I'm very happy it's part-time, which means I can continue working on projects. Interviews were tough. For Design Engineer positions, you need to design interfaces on a whiteboard in real-time, as well as describe API for a React component or, for some reason, write a small CRUD on the backend. Companies still have very different ideas about what a Design Engineer is. — It's no longer popular to brag about money on Twitter. Now you need to show that you're an underdog. So guys who were showing 2k MRR a week ago are now saying they have 0 and they're living in their parents' house and getting fired from work... but they have an amazing marketing tool that will make x1000 in 1 day. — Decided to dedicate one day a week (a day off) to finding my style in design. Realized that the result of creative work is a small snapshot of the mind, philosophical reflection, or worldview that should say something to viewers and me. Something like an artifact emitting thought-form radiation and lying on the side of the path we walk when we're looking for ourselves. My style was mainly monochrome minimalism, but I realized that monochrome retro-futuristic skeuomorphism is closer to me. I'll try and share the results later. — S0ma and Invitely are still the main priority, but I finished a thing with niche work over the weekend. Practice with browserless scraping on the backend didn't go to waste. — Signed up for another freelance gig. They asked to design an app for tracking meditation, sleep, and working with music and actions, like blocking the phone so you don't look on Instagram. My first thought was "yet another tracking app", but then I thought, why not. What if it takes off? This is startup / indie hacking after all Have a nice week, guys! @layers_to layers.to/layers/clzl9f8xa00… #indiehacker #sliceoflife #mobile #design
