Rasterizer: A GPU-accelerated 2D vector graphics engine in ~4k LOC

Rasterizer Inspired by my love of Adobe Flash, I started to work on a GPU-accelerated 2D vector graphics engine for the original iPhone, and then the Mac. Three iterations, and many years later, I have finally released Rasterizer . It is up to 60x faster than the CPU, making it ideal for vector animated UI (press the T key in the demo app to see an example). The 10-year gestation was the result of endlessly iterating over the core problem of efficiently turning vector paths into reference-qual

I ditched Spotify and set up my own music stack

For years, I relied on Spotify like millions of others. The convenience was undeniable stream anything, anywhere, discover new music through algorithms, and share playlists with friends. But over time, several issues became impossible to ignore: artists getting paid fractions of pennies per stream, fake Artists and ghost Tracks, AI music and impersonation, creepy age verification complicity and the fact that despite paying monthly, I never actually owned anything. So I decided to take back contr

Facebook is trying to make ‘pokes’ happen again

Technically, the poke never really left Facebook. The classic feature from Facebook’s early days lets users get a friend’s attention with a virtual nudge of sorts. While the poke fell out of use ages ago, the company has more recently seen an uptick in its use among younger users, which has now prompted it to make the poke a more central part of the Facebook experience.
