With all the software being written on github you'd think we were going though a software rennasance. Where are the results? Is it really just all slop?

- msephton 1mo agoI can't speak for all of it, obviously, I don't have time to try much of it, but I see tons of amazing new software in my various feeds pretty much daily.
- aryamccarthy 1mo agoI'm a bit weary of seeing comments like this, but I want to believe you, so help me learn? What are some examples of the amazing software you've seen recently?
- msephton 1mo agoSure. Off the of my head the first three I remember from the last day or so: Opacity (who seem to be reinventing vector drawing), Pixel Flight Simulator for pico8 (with dynamic cloud cover, day/night cycle, and voice over from air traffic control), Jet (a high speed 3D library for ESP32/embedded, open source and commercially licensable). I'd say I saw these because I follow certain creators and/or high signal reposters in the fields of software and games. And, if you'll forgive me, I myself am working on a totally new way to make games, called Jinks (multi-platform Web, Mac, Linux, Windows, even back to Wii and Dreamcast; games can be introspected, edited, queried at runtime; one game released so far to prove it; work in progress)
- gilrain 1mo agoWhat are the top 3 you remember? You say you can’t speak for all of it… can you speak for any of it?
