In plain words

Pixxel is a free Chrome extension that helps users capture and style browser screenshots quickly. It adds visual polish to screenshots through rounded corners, shadows, and custom background options, making them suitable for presentations, documentation, or social sharing. The tool is designed for developers, content creators, and anyone who needs to present web content visually. It streamlines what would otherwise be a multi-step editing process into a single browser extension.

  • I was wondering how I can arrange objects along a spherical helix path, and read some articles on it. I ended up learning about parametric equations again, and make this visualization to document what I learned: https://visualrambling.space/moving-objects-in-3d/ feel free to visit and let me know what you think!
