A dev team commissioned me to lead a training course on animation and creativity on the web. It would have been strange to lead a training course on "creative" development and web animation without a presentation tool being part of the theme!
Huge fan of this little tool for macOS. It replaces apps like CleanMyMac, AppCleaner, and iStat Menus, all in the term!

Since Advent of code was only 12 puzzles this year, and my dad was very frustrated about that, I developed a private clone of the #adventOfCode website by @was.tl with the 13 missing algorithm problems of the year :)

I re-designed a new home layout for my Journal.

It’s now ready to host new topics for 2026! (The next one is cooking but takes me so long to write)

First time this WE, I installed an AI model o my local machine (devstrall-v2) and compiled it to gguf format with lama app. Consuming this model from the lama's chatbot interface works fine, but very slow when I send requests from Mistral Vibe. Has anyone already tested this CLI?

Thinking about using the View Transitions API now that all major browsers support it, but not sure where to start? This article’s for you! ✌️

Very happy to share my first blog post that’s not published on my own website 🥳, thanks Piccalilli!

✨ My last article about tweening machine is online on Codrops!

I wrote about various challenges encountered when writing my tweening library: the API design choices, staying as low-level as possible etc.

Interesting for me to write it, and I hope it will be interesting for you to read it as well.
Ever wondered how animation libraries actually handle motion?

Willy Brauner breaks it down, sharing the story behind Interpol, a low-level tweening library and the lessons learned while building it.

New post 🎉

Going back to my roots on writing about the inner workings of things, a breakdown of key-value databases and how you might make one from scratch:

✨ Interpol examples updates!

I've updated all the internal Interpol usage examples inside the repository with a tweakpane instance on each of them to test different configurations and visualize the current states in real time during animation.

Really curious to know who is actually using my lib except me 🤔

Can we talk about the IOS 26 design?
I'm really not sure I'll get used to it this time. The UI feels really broken at some point.

The advantage of developing your own tools, even if they are not very popular or unpublished...

This affects Debug and Chalk, which are widely used. Anyway, It is interesting to see the compromised code explained.
