Dipping my toes into the world of #generative art. All images come from a flow field generated using simplex noise.

For those interested, I used this article as inspiration which walks through the process and shows what the outputs can look like from a more talented person tylerxhobbs.com/essays/2020/…

Just the paragliding world cup winner using Picwing to share his flight. No big deal. 😁

Can't imagine responsive design before CSS Grid and flexbox. Items in the sidebar told to maintain a two column grid as long as possible, then collapse to single column, then render as horizontal flex row on smaller devices. No fiddly sizing/padding required!
Just finished migrating picwing.app over to #Nextjs and @vercel. Seamless process and now benefitting from improved performance and SEO. Great job @rauchg and team!
