Notes to myself

TL;DR: While building this prototypes and everything, I find useful these things. I will place them here for me to remeber. They might not be miracle for other but useful for my need.

Paper

Paper is apperently a thing. It's just in diapers but it seems to be quite good for visual art generally (I don't call it "for shaders" purposly, it sounds too tech-savvy). I messes around with it a created a shader for my portfolio thumbnail. I was easily created with Claude Code and implementation was smooth. Current interface of Paper (beggining of 2026)

Not the best AGENTS.MD you know

... but I especially love these by Jakub Krehel - Typography rendering details that make interfaces feel better. Here's the link. Cheff kiss

html {
  -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
}

Notes on gradients

There are two rules for making things more beautiful. First is after fiddleing around with gradients, to "bake" easign to gradient. Nice to get rid off the middle grey zone and also ending is less visible... There is no better way then make gradints with OKLCH colour. Bye bye washed out colours somewhere in the middle.
