A dev team commissioned me to lead a training course on animation and creativity on the web. It would have been strange to lead a training course on "creative" development and web animation without a presentation tool being part of the theme!

👇 Want to start all examples at once with a single command line?

git clone [email protected]:willybrauner/interpol.git && \
cd interpol && \
pnpm i && \
pnpm build && \
pnpm dev --open

✌️

These examples allow me to run live tests (in addition to unit tests) while I develop or fix features on the lib. I needed to do a little cleaning and prepare some more graphical and functional examples for a new article coming soon.

✨ Interpol examples updates!

I've updated all the internal Interpol usage examples inside the repository with a tweakpane instance on each of them to test different configurations and visualize the current states in real time during animation.

I would like! Develop animations is a part of my job, I can't close my eyes on a UI I use every day :/

And i activated "reduce motion"...

Willy Brauner @willybrauner.com · Sep 16

Can we talk about the IOS 26 design?
I'm really not sure I'll get used to it this time. The UI feels really broken at some point.

The advantage of developing your own tools, even if they are not very popular or unpublished...

This affects Debug and Chalk, which are widely used. Anyway, It is interesting to see the compromised code explained.

I've build myself a new portfolio - let's start a new chapter! 🚀

A tribute to the 80s arcade video games where you'll need to play and interact with the site to unlock all the content and features.

Will you reach the 100% mark?

Good response for not asking more question :)

I will be curious how many webgl/webpu devs have migrated to Three.js Shading Language instead of GLSL or WGSL.

The Syntax seems to be easy to understand, but I'm not confortable about learning a "non standard" shading language.

You definitely should try, the game and sound design is beautiful, but really hard for me!

Willy Brauner @willybrauner.com · Sep 1

I have maybe completed 1/3 on the first one in 40 hours and finally abandoned. Definitely not a gamer 😶‍🌫️

Linkedin posts about automation and AI are so toxic! I posted about my new article two days ago on it and check my notifications ever since. Every time I load the feed, the first post is about "I built a startup in twenty secondes with GPT5 linked to Claude Code linked to my ass".
