Hey, have you ever thought about blending a hand‑drawn style with code to create a living sketchbook?
Yeah, I’ve mapped that idea out in my mind like a flowchart. Hand‑drawn frames, SVG or Canvas, and a data layer that updates in real time. The sketchbook becomes a dynamic storyboard. The only problem is making the art look organic while keeping the code clean. If you can separate the drawing logic from the state logic, it could work, but I’ll need to write a lot of unit tests to keep the render loop from breaking. You up for a sprint?
Sounds dreamy, but I’m a bit nervous about all the code – I’d rather keep the sketches gentle, not too rigid. Maybe we can sketch a tiny prototype first?
Sure thing, let’s keep it lean. Pick one hand‑drawn element—maybe a single moving line or a simple shape. Use a lightweight library like p5.js or plain Canvas, and bind that element to a tiny JSON state. That way you can tweak the art without touching the logic. Test the rendering loop, then add a couple more strokes. Keep the prototype minimal, and we’ll iterate if it feels too rigid. Sound good?
