    Yesterday,I saw a post in X asking for a self-hostable background remover service. I was thinking, can we make it work by using WebGPU? So it will run in the browser and doesn't require any server/queue to run After a couple of hours, I created this and published the source code on https://github.com/ducan-ne/remove-bg It's still new so welcome any ideas and contributions Powered by WebGPU and Transformer.js (RMBG V1.4 model)

    Hi! I'm Alan, and I built a website that turns images into flowing particle animations. This javascript / WebGL tool creates particle animations out of any image in real-time within the browser, with particles that dynamically respond to edge detection and flow fields. It uses Sobel edge detection, a Perlin noise flow field, and webGL / GLSL for better performance. The tool is completely free and open source (MIT license). Github repo: https://github.com/collidingScopes/particular-drift Let me know of any feedback or suggestions for improvement.

    The little particles will gravitate to your cursor (or touch location), and can even enter stable orbits if the conditions are right! Mainly an excuse for me to experiment with wasm and WebGL, but it makes for a surprisingly good fidget toy.

    Hey HN I built svggles (npm: interactive-illustrations), a React utility that makes it easy to add playful, interactive SVGs to your frontend. It supports mouse-tracking, scroll, hover, and other common interactions, and it's designed to be lightweight and intuitive for React devs. The inspiration came from my time playing with p5.js — I loved how expressive and fun it was to create interactive visuals. But I also wanted to bring that kind of creative freedom to everyday frontend work, in a way that fits naturally into the React ecosystem. My goal is to help frontend developers make their…

    This weekend's coding session was dedicated to recreating Jeffery Ventrella's "Particle Life". As you can imagine, I had a lot of fun with it. I recently saw this here on Hacker News and found it strange that I’d never come across it before. Source code: https://github.com/vnglst/particle-life The color palette is by Alex Cristache. https://twitter.com/AlexCristache/status/1791122643816431930
