Transcript: Good morning. In light of not having finished my weekly review yesterday, because I was a bit behind, and frankly, finally got around to it, and was just interrupted by a good thing, which was three or four familiar faces in a coffee shop. And I was like, okay, it's time for social things. This could wait. I might get back to my weekly review later today. But in light of not finishing that, and one thing that my weekly review does tend to give me is a bit of clarity about the week ahead and insights on what maybe I should focus on and what I want to do. And there are a lot of things that I want to focus on. There are a lot of projects that are on the stovetop, so to speak. And all of them need various types of work. And there's also my personal life and community efforts that Savannah and I are doing here. And just taxes. And it is just a lot. So I figured it might be interesting to try to explore this and kind of to go at this with voice instead of writing, as I usually do, to set some intentions for the week. And I think I'm going to do this in two parts. One is a burrito place intention, which is to explore some of the websites, at least one website per day that we'll be exploring on Friday at the Diagram Website Explorers Club. And either put my notes in here as a voice note or as text or a screen recording, which might be the most interesting. DVD on how that pipeline looks and if that's the most appropriate thing. But that's my burrito place intention. And hopefully that dovetails nicely with the actual sort of intention minigame for week one that CJ and I were talking about yesterday. But then there's also the intentions of what I actually want to get done this week and what I want to figure out and all that. So starting from the top of my list, there's a bunch of stuff to do dev-wise, which I don't think is a place to get into it. It's all pretty broken down in Obsidian already. But one interesting one is getting a Canvas element-based editor working for Daily Jam. That one is weighing on me because I know it's possible. And the old editor was not built for real-time bidirectional data streaming. So full rebuild feels a little daunting but also appropriate. And now seems to be the time to explore some new mechanics because there's a bunch of new metas floating around. Everybody's dropping tokens, meme coins, Warpcast has got frames. There's just enough interesting energy in the air that dropping a new shape for real-time artwork seems fitting. So really the goal is to try and already have a 10 by 10 grid with pixel detection quick working. So I think I just need a way to have it specify the size and exact number of pixels and snake around the canvas, so adding one pixel at a time until we get to a full square and then moving on to the next layer and make sure that works in reverse as well. When a 1155 is burned, that goes away and makes the canvas smaller. And then I need real-time data floating in and out. So Superbase basically being able to say, hey, there's a new color at 312 by XYZW. Draw that without making the page lag. And simultaneously have Superbase give us a JWT that's a valid token, which I have talked about in Burrito before, so I wonder if that'll find this entry. But that token will help authenticate the user for being able to do a real-time WebSocket right to the pixels table. And every other client that's listening will know about that. I'm also thinking about a backstop. function running every five seconds or so to just get the latest worth of pixels maybe it may be even less by their updated that time and just make sure that those are drawn and correct on the canvas hopefully it's not a huge performance hit but it'll catch any errors and make sure everybody's looking at reasonably the same canvas might not be exactly you want to get as close as so that's probably the most most like difficult sort of gnarly programming task yeah other intentions are to file all the paperwork I need for my taxes and along some messages for events for hosting in Boulder probably the systems meet up systems and AI maybe make some sketches for my co-net yeah well I also another intention maybe this is another runner-up for a real place but I'm more interested in the very social dense information one is just getting outside as much as possible whether it's really nice my cold or whatever this has been is almost almost gone and it's feeling like now's the time to get outside it's really nice really nice out here yep probably scheduled the next site craft hang and send that invite around that's been going nicely and do a little work to prepare and think about diagrams that website Explorers Club what most fun anything that could be sent around today before people to start chewing on and anyways to make the introductions a little smoother and faster so I think those are the biggest things and yeah pretty great so far pretty good Monday morning sunny good day
After a hike, I encountered Steph, leading to ongoing communication about hosting events. We discussed her co-organized salon on the AI alignment problem in March and my interest in hosting a website-building event during startup week, potentially in April or May. We also contemplated a tool for managing our projects and events, like a specialized project management software. Further, we talked about the connection between online communities and the physical gatherings they can inspire, emphasizing the cyclical relationship between the two.
The text provides insights into the challenges of finalizing and shipping a product, highlighting the complexities of resetting and managing various states and default values. It also touches on the need to consider potential issues and the importance of thorough testing. The author reflects on potential improvements for future projects, such as incorporating safeguards for duplicate signatures and considering time-based randomization. Additionally, the text emphasizes the importance of attention to detail, particularly in visual aspects, during the final stages of development and deployment. The speaker discusses their increasing comfort with refactoring and componentizing complex structures. They express excitement about making code more readable and coherent, although the components are currently specific to the project. The speaker notes the trade-off between using brain cycles to save CPU cycles and vice versa, while also reflecting on past regrets and lessons learned. They emphasize the importance of simplifying and automating processes to reduce complexity and potential confusion. Additionally, they mention the need to minimize the number of possible states to maintain control and avoid tangled situations. The text contains various thoughts on working with render loops and passing signals as props in React components. The author also discusses the importance of validating metadata before deployment in order to avoid costly mistakes on the main net. Additionally, the author reflects on the need for breaks during long coding sessions and the frustration of having to rename components. Overall, the text reflects the author's experiences and insights while working on a project.

The author is exploring different approaches to improve the rendering and performance of a canvas in P5.js. They are considering using a one-pixel density to render a larger image and are curious about the potential benefits of browser-based sharp edges rendering. The author is also contemplating using a pan zoom library or setting up a camera inside P5 for panning and zooming controls. They express concern about the performance impact of updating a 2D array of 3,000 by 3,000 pixels and are eager to conduct performance testing. Additionally, they are exploring the idea of swapping out P5 rendering pixels for PNGs with sharp rendering and are pondering the implications of working with a canvas of the size 3,000 by 3,000. Despite feeling unsure about their approach, the author is determined to find a solution to increase the canvas size and eliminate blurriness.
The authentication approach for a garden project is focused on real-time Canvas grid contributions via WebSocket, using pixels, colors, and ETH addresses. Integration remains within Superbase, avoiding routing through Vercel Edge Functions, by having users sign to verify address ownership and then receive a Superbase JWT token if allow-listed for direct write-access. This system ensures live updates are shared among all users. Separately, standard Web3 modals for wallet connection streamline the minting process, not requiring allow-list checks or additional authentication—merely an ETH transaction and minting with an IPFS hash and signature.
