progress today on extending bulk action support to connections (in addition to nodes themselves)
probably need to tweak the z order of the selection outline

finished the bones of the flexible action menu system and implemented the first few actions!
actions are displayed conditionally based on whether they're available for the current selection. the example here is that "edit label" is only available when <= 1 node is selected.

these new action buttons don't do anything yet, but it will look something like this. planning to add a flexible action button system that displays a union of available actions for the selected elements.

an improvement inspired by @allandeutsch.com's reply, which avoids excessive array allocations :D

working on upgrading the multi select experience. the goal is to consolidate many context menus into 1 to allow bulk actions

i think my approach to finding the bounding rect of a set of nodes is pretty clean. is there a better way in javascript?

i'll be sharing my experience hacking out a no-dependencies Expo mobile game in 2 hours at React Native Meetup, which we're hosting in Pike Place! see you there! luma.com/5vaezo59

That's it. Here's the final product. You have a player that can move around. This is a very basic game, but I hope it gets your imagination running. I plan to continue this series with a lot more info.
What medium would people prefer? Video, blog, or continuing like this?

Cool, now the screen gets cleared. Lastly, to make this a "game", let's add some basic controls. Instead of blindly incrementing x and y every frame, let's do it if keys are pressed down. We can add keydown and keyup listeners and toggle some booleans.

Something happened, but it looks like it's dragging across the screen! We just need to clear the screen before we redraw.

We can start to make this square move around. Let's create variables for x and y and use them for the position of the square. Then we can move rendering of the square into an "update" function, and update the x and y every frame. Then we set the function to be called repeatedly to make it move.

Now, we can use the context (ctx) to draw something on the screen. The parameters for fillRect are (x, y, width, height). Now our program is already doing something!

To start the script, we can get the canvas and make a context out of it.

Next, we can add a canvas element and a script. The canvas is where the game will render and it has an ID of "c" so we can get it in the code later. And the script will contain the javascript code for the game.

We only need one file. I'll create index.html somewhere convenient, with a basic HTML structure.

Wanted to share how easy it is to create a simple game in JavaScript. Set aside about 20 minutes, this is what we'll create today - a player you can control with WASD.

engineer's design practice 0x3
linear sidebar study
compared to writing code, figma makes me feel like a slug. rn it takes me longer to build out a design in figma than to literally code it. but it's important to try new mediums, and it may help me learn to think differently!

more work on pathfinding for diagram.page. trying to preserve the bezier lines when there's an obstruction, instead of defaulting to hard angles.
it's pretty janky rn but i'm starting to feel fairly confident about shipping this feature in the near future once fixed!
