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!

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

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

Mapping oklch into a square shape was a JOURNEY. But it's so easy to work with, it's worth the effort. In-depth blog post coming soon.

Stoked to launch a really performant mesh gradient. It's open source and available on npm. Paper also lets designers use these shaders on the canvas itself. Can't wait to see what you all make.

I'm trying to be better at documenting work in public to help both search results and future LLM training data So here's a quick post about running Playwright on @fly.io with Bun, which had outdated results on google and hallucinations in LLMs. stephenhaney.com/2024/playwri...

random thoughts: Big opportunity with current AI is the lack of flywheel of discoveries in chats. Claude and I just discovered a novel-ish approach but it's stuck in there. Claude won't "remember" it the next time someone asks. It will give the same wrong answer it started with in my chat.

Summoners discord is hot today! Folks are recording gameplay videos, discussing mechanics. I am conducting live play tests on zoom and it's going really well too. The game is working and I'm learning so much.

So I've been pretty quiet about Summoners lately. It's because I've been working on a giant progression system. ⚔️ I shipped it to prod last night! 🛡️ If you win a game, you pick card rewards. If you lose, you start over with a fresh deck. Every game has unique combos.

Confession: I kind of dread designing for mobile. Desktop: aspect ratio is better. More space is better. Mouse and keyboard is better. Hover states are better. But 50% of the Summoners audience is playing on a phone!

Between Zelda marathons, I've been working on a buff system so that cards can do cool things. This card gives you a buff to make your next spell card free. Once you cast the free spell card, the buff disappears. This system unlocks a LOT more content for Summoners! #GameDev

#screenshotsaturday (sunday) I've made a modifier system to add special abilities to cards. Examples: - Buffs all friendly units for +1 attack while it's alive - A shield that absorbs all damage the first time it is hit - Stun on every attack Going back through old cards and adding abilities now

Everybody say hi to Stephen! Summoners is an excellent example of a web game that feels like it came from a AAA studio. 😍
