I‘m a webdeveloper from Dresden, Germany. My dream is to buy a pen-plotter and watch it draw all day

⚡️I've released my app to the public! All other fitness trackers are just too bloated. This allows you to: - create training plans (either using AI or by hand) - check each day once you're done - some basic analytics for your ego :) Check it out at: fit.meerpohl.dev #fitness #excercise #training

🆕 I'm finally diving into the world of noise. This is a grid distorted by simplex noise and fractal brownian motion. It's fun play around with but I'm not satisfied with the results yet. I want to try domain warping next! Check it out at: 🔗 meerpohl.dev/v2/grid?seed... #creativecoding #codeart
Screen of a website showing a graphical tool to generate SVG graphics. 
The tool uses simplex noise and fractal brownian motion to generate a shape that resembles a mountain-like structure. The tool offers lots of parameters to tweak the output.

🆕 I have refactored my interactive playgrounds to finally use relative units. This makes them resilient to size changes which in turn allows me to switch up the page design a bit. 🔗 Check it out at: meerpohl.dev/v2/meta-balls #genart #generativeart #codeart #webdesign #graphicdesign

I've been adding a font-selector to the wordy-playground. I thought I'd have to scrap the idea because the outlines were drawn weird. After some research I found the magic #CSS: paint-order: stroke fill; It cuts my stroke-width in half but that's fine. Check it out at: meerpohl.dev/wordy

🌟 I might have went a little overboard with the filters. But I was trying them out in inkscape so that I can include them in my tools. SVG in general are weird but maybe I get something out of it. Also, repeating gradients are great! #creativecoding #codeart #graphicdesign #webdesign

🤸‍♂️ Improved performance a little bit! For those who don't know, this is an SVG in the browser. Depending on your machine, perf will still be bad. Reduce the number of shapes to get drastically better performance. Check it out at: 🔗 meerpohl.dev/squaddle?str... #creativecoding #codeart #webdesign

👨‍🎨 Finally back at producing some prints! The colors on this one are extra saturated. I'm trying a new local fineart printing shop. Lets hope the color will come through. You can try the SVG generator as usual on my website! 🔗 meerpohl.dev/wordy #graphicdesign #webdesign #generativecoding

⚡ Next one in the making! ⚡ I just realized that styling text can actually be more fun in #SVG than #CSS. You can just outline text in SVG! #creativecoding #graphicdesign #webdesign

This one's just to show that all my tools are just simple shapes and no 3D. Turns out all you need is just a lot of slight changes. The first one looks like a psycedelic blood cell. The second one makes it clearer that it's just slightly offset ellipsis. #graphicdesign #webdesign #digitalart

New svg playground dropped on my website. I like this one a lot because it's just a little variation on another playground but the results are so different. This was basically finished in an hour! Try it at: meerpohl.dev/swirly #graphicdesign #graphics #webdesign

The bright colors from a nice giclée print don‘t get old quick. Though I‘m a bit pissed about the cut. There‘s fine white line on the right edge. All in all happy with it! FineArt giclée print - 150dpi on A1 180g/m² Canon Poster Premium #graphicdesign #webdesign #graphic

This one got a little out of hand. 🫥 Added opacity sliders for fill and stroke. It's a bit surprising to me I didn't add them to begin with. But to be honest I feel like that's the last addition. I have 21 parameters in this playground. It's like adding more limits creativity.

These metaballs finally produce some promising results. I'm now using colorjs (see colorjs.io) which allow me to using some of the more advanced color spaces. Next up is a color space selector to find the right gradient. Colorjs supports like a couple of dozens. 🤤 #graphicdesign #webdesign

I just found out by accident that if I give my metaballs a negative radius they create negative space. Which gives them this lovely squeezing capability. I'm super excited right now because of all the possibilities! 🥵 #webdesign #graphicdesign

SVG controls are now persisted to the URLs search parameters which brings us goodies like: meerpohl.dev/squaddle?str... I should probably generate proper opengraph previews next.

This is from another SVG playground on my personal website. It needs some time to get good result but it can produce beautiful output. I need to persist the parameters to the url for better shareability. Check it out! meerpohl.dev/squaddle #webdesign #graphicdesign

I like to implement little fidget toys on my personal homepage. Today I have a mesmerizing metaballs playground for you. So far the amount of balls is fixed and the size is random. I make that a little more interactive soon. meerpohl.dev/meta-balls #webdesign #graphicdesign
