wrap it up, folks! I just proved that hot dogs are, unequivocally, sandwiches 🌭. embeddings for different foods from the @OpenAI API, reduced dimensionality with UMAP, plotted here colored by "category". Hot dogs are solidly in the sandwich cluster, along with tacos and burritos

Introducing. 🥖👩🍳🥓. 🥗👩🍳🍝. I noticed that I was curating "recipes" for @sveltejs apps, and cooked up a home for them to live. Just a few so far, but I have lot that I want to add.

If you noticed that it’s been quiet over here…. I was making a new human. And it’s actually been quite loud. I’m back to my ui shenanigans, now with help!.
Getting all of my thoughts down and organized is always the hardest part when writing something. At least for me. I'm playing with an interface that you can speak to. It will jot down index cards as you're rambling and organize them into main topics.

I had the absolute pleasure of digging into the State of JS data and creating this visualization of how opinions & usage of JS tools have changed over the past few years. Still amazed at how quickly @SachaGreif and @benitteraphael put this site together!

here's a quick write-up of a way I'm using @OpenAI's embeddings that I haven't seen before. For my writing app, I want to highlight each sentence on any scale:.✨ happy — sad.✨ concrete — abstract.✨ + anything!. but had to get creative to do this cheaply, quickly, & robustly

I got to spend the day learning!. 🎁 watching @bruno_simon's 🔥 threejs course to formalize concepts I've always hacked together. 🎁 finally playing with @Rich_Harris's svelte-cubed (amazing, as expected! declarative threejs code in Svelte). alt: a snowman + gifts in a snowglobe

Messing around with Three.js for generative art ❤. Loving @mattdesl 's canvas-sketch for setting up an environment where the tedious parts are automated & you get to dig in right away!

✨ what if events were pulled from emails and displayed in your calendar?. (my actual events are obfuscated). it's so helpful to have shipping estimates, open houses, and fun events I might have missed in my calendar. also, gotta love built-in @sveltejs transitions 😍

Can merging concepts be as easy as dragging them together?. ✨ this one was tricky! It feels too abrupt to merge cards right away, so I used a @sveltejs tweened to add an animation and wait almost a second before to make sure the user really wants the cards merged

✨ new project ✨. it was super fun to dig around and make some visualizations of data on the current API ecosystem. The real win here was working with @tailwindcss (easy light/dark mode + responsive styles) and @framer motion (easy spring physics)!.
