i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

if in casual conversation you say "I saw a tweet the other day" you don't correct yourself to say you saw a "toot" or a "skeet", bc deep down we all intuitively know the tweet is a format

Gargaj going into some detail about the tech stack in Umbra in here! umbra would not exist without him by the way and I definitely wouldn't have been able to shape it as well as I can now. It's very empowering to be able to be in charge of your own tech stack!
This little [pun intended] pet project has been one of my fragile little joys of the recent turbulent times; I've known Mulm for almost 20 years and always wanted to work with her on something, and seeing her happiness and excitement about this has been genuinely rewarding.
After one year of development the first milestone is done actually 😭 Holy shiiit. So for full context on how crazy this is, I have a long history of starting projects and running out of steam so the 1 yr milestone is..mad. I also did not know javascript and three.js was new to me 🫡
