there's a lot to learn from steamdb. it's just another UI for steam but with different and often better information architecture

Left: Normal ASCII shader Right: Shape-aware ASCII shader ASCII characters are chosen based on their shape, so you get clearer edges Vectors are calculated and compared with WebGPU compute shaders It's based on an altered version of Alex Harri's approach. I'll link below

The way I build the vectors is slightly different: The screen is divded into cells. Then I divide those cells into a subgrid. The average luminance of each cell in the subgrid is what I use to build the vector I think the math also differs in some places because it all runs in compute shaders alexharri.com/blog/ascii-ren…

I worked on a lot of codebases in 2025 that were almost entirely AI-generated and I've never seen more bugs and bad code in my entire life

I should add it's not necessarily because of the AI. It's because of the users who don't know what to ask for Once or twice is okay, but repeat that little mistake thousands of times and you have an unfixable mess

another plus is that if you combine a shadow border (i.e. `ring` in tailwind), with a normal shadow, they'll blend it looks a lot nicer than a normal css `border` with a shadow
