Has anyone benchmarked / compared WebGPU performance on iOS 26 to WebGL yet?

Tried to achieve a 3D-ish "bubble text" look... Didn't take much css!

I was looking for a good feedback board and the ones I found (Canny, Nolt, Fider, Usersnap..) either had mediocre UX or where super pricy.

Then I discovered userjot.com 🤩
Will use it for my next side project – together with bugspot.dev for bug reporting of course. @shayy.org really COOKED!

Just updated my test iPhone to the iOS 26 beta – WebGPU is FINALLY enabled by default & available in the WebKit WebView!🥳 Let's hope it's stable too🤞

New OpenGuessr logo! The changes are many, although subtle. What do you think🤔

This might be my favorite way to use AI for #coding. Since Claude has a built-in REPL environment, I can describe test cases and it will import my code, create the tests and process them. Such a time-saver for debugging.

Should you use WebRTC or WebSockets for a multiplayer game?🤔 My take:

WebRTC:
- Less popular
- Lower latency (without TURN)
- More difficult to debug
- Cheap to host

WebSockets:
- Require more server power
- Predictable & Reliable
- Easier to secure and debug
- No split-brain problem

just preordered a Repebble Core 2 Duo in white. I like how this name is reminiscent of the old intel chip :-) The watch is quite nerdy but I‘m afraid that‘s what I am @ericmigi.com

Just updated the openguessr.com standard map generator – the map should now feel more urban & balanced!

Just finished developing playlight.dev, an open-source browser game discovery platform that can be integrated into any game!

Instead of uploading your browser game to a platform, you can bring the platform (via SDK) into your own game to stay independent! Looking for games who want to join atm :)
Get your browser game featured with Playlight. Connect with high-quality experiences and create funnels with ease.

Feels good to be on Bluesky. In times like this, you need platforms that actually support free speech & don‘t come with a biased algorithm.

Open-Source Social Medias + open protocols are the future🙌
