<repa-shader>

I’m planning to create a custom web component which lets you easily embed your fragment shaders into any website for a long time. You can find some (mostly abandoned ones) on github, so this is my take on the topic (to abandon it eventually 😉).

It tries to be compatible with https://twigl.app/, supporting geekest mode and MRT as well (but only 300 es).

See details on github.

Colors

How do we see colors? How can we “define” them in a generic way? How do we compare them?

Well, this isn’t an easy topic.

WebGL Planet

Sometimes I have the itch to create something that’s not (just) useful, but pleases the eyes.

I’ve started experimenting with webgl a few years ago, mostly in shadertoy - but most of my experiments aren’t public.

This (fullscreen) is one of my favourites. But of course I’m still not entirely satisfied with it.

Bottle Quine

A quine is a computer program which takes no input and produces a copy of its own source code as its only output.

This one is not really a quine, but something similar, 1020 bytes of HTML/JS that animates it’s own code. Inspired by the great work of @aemkei.

CSS Mesh

CSS Paint Worklet (Houdini) experiment to generate cellular noise based mesh.

Details on github.

Logistic Map

There’s a simple function, which eventually can result in pure chaos:

xn+1 = r * xn * (1 - xn)

Web Authentication API

WebAuthn uses public key cryptography (asymmetric) instead of passwords or SMS texts for registration, authentication and 2FA.

  • Protection against phishing: webauthn signatures changes with the origin, so it won’t work on “similar” webpages (with different domain name).
  • Reduced impact of data breaches: it does not really matter if the public key is stolen.
  • Invulnerable to password attacks: much harder to crack it by “brute force” than passwords.

JPEG

The most widely used digital image format, developed by Joint Photographic Experts Group. Several attempts has been made to replace it with something “better” (JPEG 2000 included), but it still helds its position. ISO/IEC and ITU-T standard, which only specifies the codec, but not the file format - the Exif and JFIF standards define the commonly used ones.

QR Code

Invented by Denso Wave (japanese automotive company, subsidiary of Toyota) in 1994 to track vehicle parts during manufacturing. It was designed to allow high-speed scanning. Now it is used basically everywhere.

Portable Network Graphics

One of the most widely used raster image formats, that supports lossless compression, alpha transparency and is supported by all the webbrowsers. It was developed in 1996 as an improved, non-patented replacement for GIF (“PNG’s not GIF”). ISO and IETF standard.
