A new Signals and Threads just dropped, with @ianthehenry.bsky.social! This one is about building tools for traders, but it also has some fun dives into Ian's personal projects, including bauble.studio and janet.guide.

Anyway, more here:

I made a website. It's called "one million chessboards." It has a million chessboards on it.

moving a piece moves it for everyone, instantly. No turns. You can move between boards.

that's it. Have fun!

new bauble feature: use your mouse to interactively edit vector literals in quad view. like scalar editing, it respects the decimal precision of your source, so by adding decimals you can drag on a finer grid. pretty useful to preview pivots and other "invisible" points!

normal sdf repetition uses modulo to repeat space. by taking the cosine of space instead, you can get an interesting "smooth tile" effect
