@liusiyu0224 @vercel welcome to the team!!

Completed my 2nd day at @vercel 😊😊🤗🤗 People are so nice here, and I’m getting a similar vibe to early-2021 Coinbase that the company is growing very quickly and attracting talent from all the great companies in SV. My team is hiring engineers, DM me if u are interested 😃😃

@andrus tell me more Mark

Shanghai has all the experimental coffee flavors

@okbel totalmente de acuerdo 😌 yo también

I’m working with my favorite people

Scope creep on the background-transparent proof of concept: German Glasses. Put the window on top of German text and it overlays a mostly-working English translation. PaddleOCR + Chrome Translator API, all client side and free. The web is incredible.

@__jesse_li very cool! same, I tried with screenX/screenY but in the end using only the video feed was more reliable.

@javierbyte Yep, both pages are playing the same video (but the main one has a css filter to make it blurry) and doing math on the parent and child's screenX/screenY shared with postMessage. I struggled with cross platform behavior and getting things to line up without magic constants.

Me: "I want body { background: transparent }" The web platform: "no" Me: screen captures own display, injects fiducial markers, tracks viewport position, composites background buffer

@__jesse_li that's interesting! is it playing the same video? also, are you using screenLeft/Top to determine the position of both windows? it looks really smooth.

@javierbyte reminds me of (way less fancy) experiments I did on this theme a long time ago

@JaimeOrtega fair! it also works offline, though!

@javierbyte It would ask you to share your whole screen, right? Which I would never do on a random site lol

Yeah, there must be better ways. I started with a pattern but then had trouble dealing with compression (in my test, Safari always gives 1x instead of Retina), and then decided that for a proof of concept, color finding will do 😂 I also thought about hiding it in the favicon, but browser compatibility would have been tough.

@javierbyte A grey and white checkerboard would have had the same effect. Right?

@codedgar_dev @jaibi_ai exactly, it creates the illusion of transparency by recording the outside of the browser and then projecting it when the window goes back to that position more details #how-it-works" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/javierbyte/bac…

@jaibi_ai @javierbyte Yeah is more like recording and projecting isn’t it?

Try it yourself: backgroundtransparent.vercel.app (you need to share the full screen the browser window is on) Inspired by @mausmoto's ShaderGlass, I wanted something like that for the web! Liquid Diamond is by @shuding of course, who got me into shaders recently.

I'm very excited that @shuding is sharing this now.

@pilcrowonpaper it feels more tangible to me. DynamoDB items, sorting, and GSIs are easier to imagine in the physical world.

I don't hate relational DB or anything but there's a small part of me that thinks a document DB like DynamoDB is better and more "correct"

@delba_oliveira the very best like no one ever was, thank you Delba 🖤

Today was my last day at Vercel. It was a hard decision. Vercel was not just a job. It was ZEIT. My first app, first deployment, first open source contribution. The dream opportunity to work with Next.js. It was five years. Sweating over naming, mental models, progressive disclosure. Explaining, re-explaining, iterating. It was dozens of diagrams and videos, hundreds of docs, thousands of words, endless feedback. It was the tension between craft and speed. Hype, whiplash, and growth. It was for the web. I'm thankful to Vercel for letting me be part of its journey, as much as it was a part of mine 🖤

I've been enjoying making star trail photos. I built a small tool to help combine the images with configurable fading tails. github.com/javierbyte/sta…

@meodai amazing! I love the blur of the text when it goes behind the card! do you mind if I try to recreate with css?

OK

@merycodes @vercel welcome!!

Day 1 at @vercel as a Design Engineer I’m beyond excited and thankful to be joining this incredibly talented design team 🖤

@huozhi now also invert the hue `filter: hue-rotate(180deg)`

Generating dark theme by just inverting the color

This unlocks a lot. Faster onboarding for developer products. Delightful Marketplace integrations. Letting users own and pay for resources. Try v0nanobananapro.vercel.app (which I used to generate this image). Sign in with Vercel and AI tokens will flow from your account!

@marijanapav @vercel wow welcome!!

excited to share I've joined the cracked design team at @vercel as a brand designer 🖤
