How he made this font glowing? Which tool/IDE? https://robbowen.digital/assets/img/articles/lietvards-code....
In computer graphics a similar glow effect is usually done by blurring and rendering that just under the source image/mesh. Pretty similar to the above.
Sorry don't have an idea of the tool in use by the author.
As long as you complete it, just keep it out there. You never know when your half-baked idea might result in a lead for something new. It’s fun to go back to old projects and finish them with new skills you’ve acquired over the years.
It’s like returning to an early area in an RPG and discovering side quests and treasure chests you couldn’t reach before.

Personally I think it looks awful but everyone to their own tastes!

Nearly a decade ago when WASM was new I started trying to implement a pure WASM lua implementation. With eventual goal to JIT, so I was writing it all in Lua to bootstrap
I wrote a macro assembler in lua, & implemented objects, tables, garbage collector, lexer/parser. But when I got to the bytecode VM I got tangled trying to implement opcodes while dealing with "every allocation invalidates references because it's a moving GC"
I was keeping a devlog on patreon (mostly stream of consciousness posts) & had a couple people supporting for a total ~10$/mo. Shortly after development stalled I paused payments
Despite having a successful open source card game (openEtG), Luwa remains my most starred project on github: https://github.com/serprex/luwa
I regretted stalling on this project for a long time, since it was a bit of a cumulation of my minimalist philosophy (wasm without some emscripten runtime, the stack was just another object in the lua heap, etc), & I failed to deliver
I've come to peace with the fact that I'm not Mike Pall
Mostly it's way to learn something new, tackle some hard problems and understand them to a certain depth.
Very much agreed here, abandoning things helps us eventually priortise other things that we learned from the exercise of building the original thing. I briefly wrote about a similar experience on how thinking too much about maintaining a project for a longer period of time is not really a good idea.

Sounds horrible. Have you tried to ask what makes people think you are not doing enough? Also, have you started looking for other jobs so you can run from this place as fast as you can? In any case your priority should be to find a way to fix this before you burn out for good. Losing energy for your spare time is already a big deal. You are mentioning brain draining. 7 months is a long time. Your job should be suppor…
> Have you tried to ask what makes people think you are not doing enough? It's complicated. For one, the culture is such that 1 out of N people need to be kicked out every year, by policy, even if all N people are doing great work. So people largely end up just clawing at each others' scope to try to not get kicked out, and stealing other peoples' work to be the first one to put their name on it. Yet others team up a…
Fear of sunk cost is why I only built developer tools so far. As a developer, I know what tool I need to build software quickly and effectively. But unfortunately just as I finished building my no-code/low-code platform, the dev tool market has become completely monopolized. All developers are focused on a tiny number of tools so now I'm forced to focus on a niche outside industry. Thankfully I can use my own no/low-…
We've got this cool no-code AI feature live: https://ozma.io/ai-business-app-builder/
It looks like we are at a new level of no-code programming. Real no-code. What if you try to add AI to your tool?

Hacker news traffic lasts just 2 days.
And can get completely different response when posted at just the right/wrong time. I've had posts I made that got no attention, just for someone else to post the same thing a few days/weeks later and it reached near the top, with hundreds of comments.
If there's less things posted to /new at that particular time, it seems a bit more likely someone gets a chance to interact with it before it disappears from that first page of /new.
