That's super cool (and FAST -> hard to do from my personal attempts).

But, please, give us some nitty gritty of how you made it

The repo is at https://github.com/mkhan45/clothsim, it's pretty compact and most of the relevant code is in src/main_state.rs

This is simply beautiful, and will definitely inspire me with some arty projects I'm working on.

Great work -> the minimalist UI, art and music fits amazingly.

One thing I noticed: the site's images fail to load if the brave adblocker is on

The “Astral from scratch guide“ idea really caught my eye.

Gotta say that would be a pretty cool evolution of DIY electronics kits to OS kits

oh wow that is a beautiful photo mosaic. Well done.

That is so funny - after all these years you were sitting at your computer at the same time and clicked on the same post as the creator

Yes, that's exactly right. All your images are processed locally and don't leave your device. They are all processed in the web browser with javascript and your dev tools like you say should show that.

I think he means "why does it have to upload to the browser, can't it just read from the filesystem?" it should work, but browsers make it more complicated.

This is completely my own library running in the cloud. Started as a little experiment for myself and now it's blown out into this

I would potentially pay a licensing fee for the library if it could be used in other apps (and commercial settings).

No worries! This is adjustable via sliders (in the bottom left area)

Thanks for the kind words!

haha there's a few similar stories coming on here now. Great to hear.

Hey, if you want to do that with this software, I can't see any files you upload (it's all local processing in your web browser), so go for it.

Thanks for sharing! Both the link and the story. As a University student and someone that has here also made a photomosaic app, that is super relatable.

That's good to know about the pricing. It's free for now. Honestly didn't expect this level of interest (there's 307 people on the site right now according to analytics).

With that interest, I may add some plans - potentially for the commercial use in particular
