DevRel friends — where are you?

I’m building Okay Social as a space for the creative + dev community to reconnect.

If that mission resonates, I’d love your help spreading the word.

Same with using external dependencies:
1. you start learning WebGL with three.js
2. you think you don't need threejs and start writing native webgl
3. you understand why three is good and eventually go back to it (or other existing frameworks)

It's part of the learning curve!

In my opinion, a good senior dev knows when to abstract and when it's not worth the effort or not the "right time" to abstract and you start duplicate/ copy-pasting things again.

Nice write up! And beautiful outputs too!

"The more senior the developer, the more likely they are to be critical of repetition"
→ I personally think that's more something you can see with junior dev acquiring a bit of experience. You start by abstracting everything first.

wow this is beautiful!

While I have always tried to keep the number of dependencies low, this investigation shows that there is still room for improvement there. Starting with glslify 👀

Thank you for sharing!

So good 👏

Those breakdowns are super interesting, thanks for sharing!!

Beautiful work Etienne! Love it 😍

Oh my bad!

Have you already looked into SvelteKit? It can do SSG and SSR with just a single flag.

Interesting! I think easing functions can still fill a specific roles in animations but I'm now using a mix of easing functions, spring animations and physics simulations for natural look (position/velocity/acceleration) with specific behaviours (flee/follow...)
