Also: https://www.formgraph.com - a bit richer (multiple layers, drawing tools, social features, etc)

Cool! I built something similar a while back. A bit more structured (creating accounts and such), but with a bigger variety of drawing tools, and some social features like followin…

https://www.formgraph.com - real-time collaborative drawing in vue.js; drawing client alone is over 5k LOC of Vue.js.

I wish I knew earlier that I had enough knowledge to build production quality applications. I had this idea early on that I had to attain some level of mastery that was always just…

I remember those anxious days before Longhorn's release. MS was making a lot of weird threats back then. All the "trusted computing" stuff, as well as the thinly veiled attempts at…

bgfx looks really cool, thanks for letting me know about it!

GL 3.x is my current go to for the case of needing simple immediate mode 3D rendering. But it's still Bring Your Own Matrices/Texture Loading/Text Rendering/Model Loading, and D3D9…

Those are higher level scene graphs. D3D9 was an immediate mode API with some helper libraries, so you still were in control of your app's rendering architecture.

D3D9 is my all-time favorite 3D API. It was at that sweet spot of being powerful enough that you could do stunning things with it (the Xbox 360 generation is effectively D3D9-level…

I get the value of garbage collectors, but honestly until Go I wasn't too fond of them, as I'd find myself spending about as much time thinking about memory management in Java as i…

This is a really encouraging trend. For all the things I love about iOS (not to mention all the years supporting myself on iOS dev work), I love the fact that on desktop platforms,…

Yeah, collaborative drawing is kind of old hat, but when you can use the context of the modern, social web to provide some new modes of interaction around it, it can be interesting…

Not quite the same, but my startup, Formgraph[0], also does public, real-time collaborative drawing. I even did a similar write-up about the stack behind it the other day[1]. Looks…

YES! So many things to read, and I hate having a million tabs open at once. Even if I don't get around to something until months later, bookmarks are an indispensable tool.

https://www.formgraph.com - collaborative creation platform The goal is to create a social media platform that does for content creation what previous social networks have done for…

Building a social, collaborative creation platform. Starting with vector images, with other media types coming soon: https://www.formgraph.com Working on a market where users can s…

This is the first iteration of an idea I've had brewing for a while. The broader vision is to have a hybrid social network/repository with web-based tools that can be used to colla…

Right? I don't get the mindset of Microsoft having to support an antiquated product line over a decade past its expiration date because a few business IT customers are incompetent …

An easy solution to the problem would be to stop being a racist piece of shit, or else own up to it and accept the social consequences. Another idea would be to have user ratings a…

I would so get on this if I were near Harlem! This has actually encouraged me to seek out opportunities to do this sort of thing closer where I live.

As someone who has felt mostly sour grapes toward Microsoft for introducing D3D in the first place instead of adopting OpenGL, it's nice to read a convincing rationalization for wh…

Reading this made me feel good. I feel like not enough hackers in my generation appreciate some of the history surrounding hacker culture. I read Levy's books a million times as an…

The last time I tried that the officer angrily barked back at me, "GIVE ME A NUMBER." So YMMV, I guess.
