Thinking about using the View Transitions API now that all major browsers support it, but not sure where to start? This article’s for you! ✌️ Very happy to share my first blog post that’s not published on my own website 🥳, thanks Piccalilli!

Ever wondered how animation libraries actually handle motion? Willy Brauner breaks it down, sharing the story behind Interpol, a low-level tweening library and the lessons learned while building it. Read the full article: tympanus.net/codrops/2025...

DevRel friends — where are you? I’m building Okay Social as a space for the creative + dev community to reconnect. If that mission resonates, I’d love your help spreading the word.

I had the amazing opportunity to write an in depth article about the development of my new portfolio on @codrops.bsky.social. I've tried to write an honest testimony, from self doubts regarding my creative process to technical details and key decisions. Hope you'll find it useful and inspiring!

🚀 Big news! Okay Social is now open to everyone. It's the social network for creatives. Claim your handle, create a profile, and start connecting with others. Join our community today! 👉 okaydev.co/social

Anime.js 4.2.0 is out! 🧩 All modules can now be imported individually with subpaths 🎨 CSS variable values support 🏹 Simpler spring API with bounce & duration params 📈 More WAAPI built-in easing functions 🎛️ And an easing editor (animejs.com/easing-editor/)! Plus tons of fixes and improvements!

A dev team commissioned me to lead a training course on animation and creativity on the web. It would have been strange to lead a training course on "creative" development and web animation without a presentation tool being part of the theme!

Working on adding a post-processing implementation using compute shaders for #gpucurtains. Here's an example with a selective compute bloom pass. Not sure I've used the most straightforward process (depth handling was tricky), but it's working. #webgpu #javascript

New portfolio on @landing.love today: Martin Laxenaire by @martin-laxenaire.fr A front-end developer specialized in animations, micro-interactions, procedural and generative art, working mostly with WebGPU, WebGL, 2D canvas and SVG. martin-laxenaire.fr

As I’ve been building a 3D renderer with #WebGPU, once you get past the fundamentals, it becomes harder to find guidance. So I wrote a blog breaking down the minimal architecture I created, as well as covering basic #3D terminology like Geometry and Materials. whoisryosuke.com/blog/2025/st...

“Build a router for creative transitions” - New article out! ✨ I wanted to demystify how a router, a key structural element of any front-end web project works, especially when it comes to handling complex route transition scenarios. → willybrauner.com/journal/buil... #frontend #router #webdev

So cool to see #webgpu finally running on @firefox.com on Windows! 🔥 Some #gpucurtains examples are still broken (lack of rgba16float texture support, video textures, a few shaders to patch...) but it's a huge step forward!! martinlaxenaire.github.io/gpu-curtains...

A social network built for creative devs, designers, and brands. Will you join me on OKAY SOCIAL?

📝 New Blog Post 📝 I finally sat down to write about what I learned building a Volumetric Lighting effect for the web In it, I detail how to blend raymarching with post-processing to create beautiful atmospheric light to elevate your next WebGL project blog.maximeheckel.com/posts/shapin...

My first take at implementing volumetric lighting. Quite happy with the result (even tho it's taking its toll on my poor integrated GPU). 💥 (I might be cooking something... 😁) #webgpu #gpucurtains #javascript

Wanted to try planar reflections with #gpu-curtains for a while. Turned out I already had everything in place to implement it, just had to figure out a few details to make it work. Try here → martinlaxenaire.github.io/gpu-curtains... #webgpu #javascript

After 5 years in the making, I'm very happy to finally release Anime.js v4, my dream animation library: 🧩 New modular API ⚡️ Highly performant 🖱️ Scroll-linked animations 🫵 Draggables ↔️ Responsive ✨ Additive animations 🪽 WAAPI support And so much more! Check out the new website animejs.com!

New in Fragment: sketch asynchronous initialisation 👯 init() now supports async functions! While load() can still be used as before, this simplifies the share of resources between the two functions. Also getting ready for p5.js 2.0 and WebGPU requestAdapter() 👀

We are pleased to announce that web rendering just hit the accelerator! Introducing the release of Babylon.js 8.0!! #babylonJS8 aka.ms/babylon8Blog youtu.be/kKaomUggipQ

These past months, I've been rewriting the entire core of Fragment with the latest version of @svelte.dev! It's 100% compatible with the previous version but has a bunch of new exciting features. Let's look at one thing a day everyday (until I don't have anything new to show). fragment.tools

Suddenly remembered I'd created a color palette generator when working on generative coding tests a few years ago (2021). Decided to create a proper gallery to put everything there: www.martin-laxenaire.fr/generative/ #creativecoding #generative #javascript
