i’m excited about this place because there’s a vision for the future of the web behind it. i wrote about it here. i think you should read it.

if you like the vision, you can take your part in making it a reality. could be bringing people here, teaching about atproto, building things

I'm still reading that (long!) post, but found a nested one inside which I really liked, so just wanted to thank you for sharing it ❤️

I realized I'd never actually bothered to write a method that'd work on every device and that made use of explicit gradients.

And I realized it was way more straightforward than I'd really considered previously. So I wrote it out.

A few years ago I was tinkering around in Blender, trying to figure out better ways to import molecular data for nicer visuals. I eventually and came up with an add-on that I released 100% free and open source: github.com/BradyAJohnst...

Strange for that to have a life of its own

Well, got a few things to unpack from your story. Time to think about my own choices, too. Thanks again for sharing. It was quite a nice read.

Very sorry to hear your wife passed away. Wish you the best in your well-earned retirement.
