Fluid Background Studio

Animated WebGL backgrounds, straight from Figma

What it does

Fluid BG Studio is a Figma plugin that generates animated WebGL backgrounds with real-time controls. Pick from 7 styles, tweak color, motion, grain, and composition, then insert a high-res PNG directly into Figma or export production-ready HTML, a React component, or a Remotion clip. Built for designers who are tired of iterating gradients by hand, front-end developers who want a polished visual foundation, and teams that want their design and production assets to stay in sync.

    Repaint – a WebGL based website builder2024 · repaint.com · ▲236

    Hey HN! We're Ben and Izak, founders of Repaint (YC S23). Repaint is like Figma, but for creating real websites. It has panning, zooming, and dragging elements around. The settings closely follow html/css. We think an open canvas is a big improvement over other website builders. Everything is easier: styling, consistency, responsiveness… But making it work was hard! We thought HN would appreciate the tech behind it: - A custom WebGL rendering engine (w/text, shadows, blurs, gradients, & opacity groups) - A partial implementation of the css spec - A custom text editor & text shaper…

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
