Gradientspace Graph Beta — gradientspace
I have released an initial version of Gradientspace Graph (GSGraph), a new C#-based NodeGraph Programming environment that also supports inline text-coding in C# and Python (and LLM-based CodeNode gen...

Hey I made a new thing - it's called Gradientspace Graph, and it's a C#-based NodeGraph Programming system that also supports inline C# and Python "Code Nodes". The NodeGraph Engine is MIT Open-Source and the Editor is Free. More details here: www.gradientspace.com/tutorials/20...
Claude Code put Claude Code into my web app so now I can live-edit the running development version without having to go over to a terminal.

didn't have a lot of spare time yesterday, so I only added PDF and textfile support to my gsworkspace app, and a CSV-as-Table view. Of course by "I added" I mean I Described and Claude Coded. youtu.be/RroSqDfZi2c?...

Hey All, I made a header only C++ library (MIT) where line of code inits, then you can start writing to pixels on the screen.
I call it thirteen.h, inspired by the simplicity of the 13h days.
Examples include a mandelbrot viewer and a playable mine sweeper game.

You get this attitude a lot from UX/Product people and it's always mystified me. The premise is that all Engineers are lazy? They don't care about the product? Their job is to just shut up and do what they are told? But now we have robot coding... (1/3)
Whenever an engineer says "It's not possible" always remember that what they actually mean is "I don't know how to build that" which sounds different, but means the same thing.

a significant challenge in claude-coding is just figuring out good ways to describe things in words. Abstract high-level concepts, very precisely identifying (eg) UI elements, explaining observed behaviors, giving things good unique names, etc. Perhaps time to bring back Technical Writing classes

Claude Code and I have built a client/server webapp. I ask it, could this be run locally and feel like it's a desktop app? Yes, it says it can launch Chrome in "App Mode" and run the servers in some hidden-but-attached console thing (??). Works. Now, can it be "installed" in ProgramFiles/etc? ...

Every time I install Unreal on a new machine I always make to change Editor Settings > Asset Editor Open Location to "Main Window"
It stops new windows being opened up as separate tabs, always keeps them docked.

I can’t believe Apple ships this, it looks like placeholder UI. This is what you have to click through to save a cropped screenshot on iOS. If you don’t do this, it silently discards the image!!

migrated my personal website off Squarespace w/ assistance from the coding robot. Compared to writing a web app it was not so great at this, but (a) I don't know how this site actually functions and (b) I won't ever need to again. Wrote a post about it! www.rms80.com/blog/2026-01...

ouch. I remember when Autodesk killed off ArtCAM, a 2.5D design tool that was used by Mints around the world to design coins (among many other things). The suggestion to abandoned users was “try MudBox (?)”

I do not like that losing focus is referred to as "blur" in javascript. I get it, focus vs blur...it's just too cute

Apparently this is because of the new Google 60-second-walking-simulation AI video generator, that still forgets what was there when you turn around. So…maybe a buy?

so weird that claude code can handle dealing with huge amounts of code in a programming project, but asking it to copy text verbatim from one webpage to another is beyond it. Seems like it just can't help itself, it's compelled to copy-edit my writing.
