I took part to Android Developer podcast, with @romainguy.dev and Tor Norbye. We talked about ADB, ADB Wifi, and Quake! www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxIw...

Brandon made the first ever use of bindless in WebGPU! Making things look simple takes a lot of effort: I've been iteraating on the design for 1.5 years at this point and so it's really cool to see it running for real in the browser (and not just Dawn unittests).

@mmalex.bsky.social Just got my Plinky12! Very excited to finally play with it 😀

In 2023 I "played" with #Swing professionally. I discovered the Filthy Rich Client book by @romainguy.dev and @chethaase.com, examples required NetBeans, dead repos. Back then, I started migrating it to @gradle.com, and modernized the examples to be runnable again. I finalized my quest this summer.

Things I enjoyed reading and watching this week. It's all about graphics this time. www.romainguy.dev/posts/2026/t...

I really miss apps that would do ridiculous things in their UI, like Disco. If you've never used this ~2007 CD burning app, it would show a real-time smoke simulation coming out of the window when you were in the process of burning a CD. It was interactive too! www.youtube.com/shorts/zklSr...

The first official episode of @nicoleackermans.com and my show, @technicaltea.show just dropped on your podcatcher of choice + YouTube. Please enjoy moments like this where we hope to bring you women perspectives, STEM insights, and whatever you want to file "vibranium boobs" under.

We recorded a special episode of Android Developers Backstage to celebrate 5 years of Compose! youtu.be/HEqXwUm6vd0?...

Fascinating optimization work done by the R8 and Compose teams to optimize coroutines: android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/07/how-...

@mmalex.bsky.social Congrats on shipping Plinky 12!

In case you missed the phenomenal @mdevcamp.bsky.social conference, here is a link to the talk I gave there. I had such a great time there, and thank all the organizers for making it happen 🙏 🙏 slideslive.com/39082850/ele...

How was one of the most loved programming languages - Kotlin - created, and what is next after it? This is a rare and special conversation with Kotlin creator Andrey Breslav, with so many fascinating details on how Kotlin became the global success as it is today. youtu.be/ZggUn2mNqMU (cont'd)

Happy place

I just added Brush APIs to Vibrance. You can now use pigments mixing based gradients with any Compose API that accepts a Brush. See README.md for code examples. github.com/romainguy/vi...

What To Learn To Be A Real Time graphics Programmer blog.demofox.org/2026/07/01/w... I wrote this up over lunch and it's surprisingly popular so sharing over here too.

A dream was always to make a "cloud" tool. Now over the last 1-2 years I tried to build smth on and off. Now I made it work in the browser. WARNING! Depending on the settings it can take a lot of GPU power, so be careful. Only for people who know what they're doing. artbuddy.urlich.ch/cloudbox/

Vibrance now has radial and sweep gradients. github.com/romainguy/vi...

Gobliiins Collection is AVAILABLE NOW digitally! 📢 Revealed moments ago during the AG French Direct, we are ecstatic to announce that the legendary puzzle-adventure series is making its console debut TODAY 👇 Play digitally or pre-order your PS5 physical copy https://bit.ly/m/GobliiinsCollectionRAG

Very interesting. Has SIMD support too. And shaders.

Android is now Compose-first: developer.android.com/develop/ui/c... It was years in the making, and I'm happy to see it's finally here!

Naty Hoffman just wrapped up a career-spanning keynote on lessons learned from game development and beyond. Now underway: a fireside chat with Naty Hoffman and Eric Haines, joined by Omer Shapira - celebrating two remarkable careers in computer graphics. #I3D2026

This is a great example of why even small optimizations can matter at scale. Modern apps and systems can be affected by this kind of "death by a thousand cuts".

Modern DRAM is based on a brilliant design from IBM. But, we're still paying for a latency penalty that's existed since the 60s! In this video, I'm introducing my research project (Tailslayer) that immensely reduces p99.99 latency on traditional RAM!

meshoptimizer 1.1 is out! github.com/zeux/meshopt... Featuring two new major features, meshlet topology compression and opacity micromaps, as well as a few smaller features and improvements! More information in the infographic and release above :) Boosts and repository stars are welcome!

It is sadly true - androidx ktx libraries have been killed today and it is all Jake Wharton's doing. Details here: jakewharton.com/an-update-on... #androidx #androiddev

My erosion filter is out! Video, blog post, and shader source. It emulates erosion without simulation, so it's fast, GPU friendly, and trivial to generate in chunks. Explainer video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4V2... Companion blog post: blog.runevision.com/2026/03/fast... #ProcGen #vfx #GameDev

In the next version of AGP - R8 makes coroutines 2x faster

Here is a preview of the results for my next post in the series on micro-shadowing. Hopefully people that value craftsmanship, deliberate art direction, and attention to detail will find it more interesting than the AI slop being pushed.

i built an entire x86 CPU emulator in CSS (no javascript) you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS lyra.horse/x86css/

Highly recommend this video, which is a super deep dive into the techniques used to create a 64kb demoscene-style '90s FPS: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qht6...
