@mikemiller @_chenglou actually thought about that as a use case, this should be easy to implement in a native app like this
English
A library that will allow you to resize viewports correctly above the soft keyboard.
This makes a better chat app experience on mobile web.
Currently, things are incredibly wonky in this area. Resizing above the keyboard properly gets closer to making iMessage likely experiences.

pretext by @_chenglou unlocks UI patterns that weren’t possible before.
here’s a spatial note-taking app where all notes and folders live in the same continuous space.

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept): Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow

@ohitscosmic @_chenglou yeah that’s basically the idea, would love to experiment this with a vision pro with eye tracking. but even with a mouse, this feels much more expressive, the hover becomes navigation and source of focus
English
@hlessio @_chenglou interesting - so the ui layout adapts to what you perceive the user is "focusing" on
English
@hlessio @_chenglou We need to make one that measures software keyboards now
English
@ohitscosmic @_chenglou just been experimenting for now, it’s basically all based on a weights system, each container has a base weight that gets boosted by the mouse clicks and also interacts with the hover over a hot area, really simple architecture and rules, will experiment more!
English
@hlessio @_chenglou seems overwhelming when you're trying to get stuff done. wonder what constraints/rules you can put here that makes sense for specific workflows/use-cases

here’s a spatial note-taking app where all notes and folders live in the same continuous frame, the whole app is just space.

NO, NO, NO!
there’s no exponential, we hit a wall, AI is a bubble, it won’t scale, LLMs are a nothing burger, it’s all a Ponzi scheme,

@tsuboyama2024 Mr. Tsuboyama, my girlfriend and I are huge fans of your work. Silent Hill changed our perspective on psychological horror and what games can achieve as an art form
It’s really great to get these insights directly from the director. Please keep us updated!

🟥unique experience of games🟥
The elements that make up the "unique experience of games" and distinguish them from other media are "#virtualspace" and "#interactivity."
In other words, it is not easy to express a game in a novel or film, and the same is true vice versa. 👉
