Hey Jelle! Probably the easiest thing is just to try it out, heat.paper.design is free and doesn't require sign up.

It's early days but, in the long run, we'd like to be a general purpose design platform where you can accomplish all or many of your day-to-day design work

Make your logo in the heat map style:

Can't wait to see what you make!

Good morning!!

We are so excited to announce that @paper.design is open for sign ups today.

And we thought it'd be fun if everyone could see their logo like the Apple heat map invite.

So you can just upload your logo and see it.

Link in the thread. We think you're gonna love it!

Beautiful work! It really stands out against all the random retro tilesets.

After 1 year in the works, I will now start posting progress updates about my upcoming 3D multiplayer browser game, Mana Blade. Built with @threejs.org, @react.dev, React Three Fiber, and @bun.sh, it runs on WebGPU with WebGL fallback and works on mobile. Follow for updates! Try it on manablade.com

does anyone have a sense for how close Safari is to landing WebGPU without a flag?

Hopefully Q2! I'd prefer to be open access :) But we still have more work to do before it's ready for daily use.

Glad it helped! It's pretty much just the default fly.toml

app = 'app-name'
primary_region = 'sjc'

[build]
dockerfile = 'Dockerfile'

[env]
PORT = '3333'

[deploy]
strategy = 'rolling'

[[vm]]
memory = '2gb'
cpu_kind = 'shared'
cpus = 1

Good morning!!

We thought the Apple liquid metal invite was so cool. How fun would it be if everyone could see their logo in liquid?

So we made an app to let you make your logo in liquid. Just drag in your logo and see.

We think you're gonna love it!
liquid.paper.design

Oops! @2X monitor only issue. Fixed in v0.0.21. Thanks for finding this.

Yeah, probably should define a size. In CodeSandbox it just rendered as a small rectangle 😅 can I see a screenshot?

Paper Shaders is a performant effect library you can install from npm or design in @paper.design

"God Rays" shader is up on npm

Can't wait to see what you build with it

Code example in the thread

yes! I hope it will make uniform color space more approachable for more people

we're actually trying the uniform map as the default... a lot of folks don't notice, and they just get upgraded color relationships

Stephen @stephenhaney.com · Jan 22

Yesss!! This one should be on npm by next week if not sooner

Stephen @stephenhaney.com · Jan 22

Ahh that'd be great! Glad to hear it's in the works. My videos are often like, 2MB over the limit and I have to move on rather than go re-cut it.

Our new design tool: browser-based, very fast, can design with real code components, real flex, animations and shaders, all using browser tech. Lots more on the way :)
