Jello Lights by yozic
I will never stopped being amazed by the ability of shaders of being so beautiful and creative with just a few lines of code. The colours, motions and shapes of this one is just a perfect example of their superpowers in 20 lines.

This one’s code is a little bit longer but still a thing of beauty.

Commit Mono
Commit Mono Commit Mono is an anonymous and neutral programming typeface focused on creating a better reading experience. https://commitmono.com/This “neutral programming typeface” is looking good! Not enough for me to let Jetbrains Mono go in my editor but still! The website is beautifully designed, I really like the brutalist/minimal and the detailed keyboard navigation is a nice touch to add. I’d like to head towards this kind of design for Fragment website and documentation.

Coding Adventure: Simulating Fluids
Sebastian released another great tutorial, this time about fluid simulation which is a…complex subject to say the least. He’s using Unity and HLSL but it looks like it could be port to WebGL and GLSL fairly easily. Another thing added to the TODO list!
