great idea! :-)

Absolutely gorgeous.

I know it would be very difficult, but I also know it's possible, so what about live preview? I generated something, it wasn't as good as I hoped, and I wish I could tweak it a bit. If not, maybe I'll try to hack this with <canvas> this weekend...

  actually there's a Remix button that lets you just try the same data with different settings
ekyo777 14y ago
probably hackernews effect, but I'm getting a mix of 502 errors and slow page loads. love the generate wallpaper tough
- eksith 14y ago
  Ditto. I think it broke :/

Magic in progress just takes infinite time when code contains Unicode... Or is it just me?
- jan_g 14y ago
  Nothing happens here, also. I just pasted some random Go code and got infinite 'Magic in progress'.

    hackernews-effect, sorry, take your ticket for the queue :D

      I've had a tab in magic-in-progress for about an hour now :(

This is what the developer equivalent of Dribbble should be! Gorgeous work. I hope this means people will finally use proper presentation slides with syntax highlighting. EDIT: I will say this, though: the thumbnail settings are so small, they could basically be text. The syntax settings are easier to make sense of, but I suggest just turning the remaining settings into text/buttons and instead use a placeholder example with the chosen settings.

If you haven't done so already, open it in Internet Explorer for an... alternative... stylesheet :)

  Just add class 'ie' to the html tags.

10-line minimum?
- hellweaver666 14y ago
  I found this strange as well... especially when you consider the magic that can be done on a single line by a real coding-craftsman. I wonder if it's purely a cosmetic issue (i.e. one line looks naff in a square box).
  - Sharlin 14y ago
    Probably.

Here's an obscure crypto algorithm I hand-rolled: http://instacode.linology.info/15261 http://instacode.linology.info/15261 You've probably never heard of it.

Pre-eminent Ruby hipster _why used to hand-write code samples that looked pretty cool. Could that be an option using some suitable hand-writing font? Some examples: http://viewsourcecode.org/why/redhanded/images/hpricot-aby.png http://viewsourcecode.org/why/redhanded/images/hpricot-aby.p... http://viewsourcecode.org/why/redhanded/images/a-personal-expando.png http://viewsourcecode.org/why/redhanded/images/a-personal-ex... http://viewsourcecode.org/why/redhanded/images/view-as-hpricot.png http://viewsourcecode.org/why/redhanded/images/view-as-hpric... http://viewsourcecode.org/why/redhanded/images/keepvid.png http://viewsourcecode.org/why/redhanded/images/keepvid.png http://viewsourcecode.org/why/redhanded/images/randfeed.png http://viewsourcecode.org/why/redhanded/images/randfeed.png and not quite in the same theme but whatever: http://viewsourcecode.org/why/redhanded/images/aside-from-that-there-is-a-range.gif http://viewsourcecode.org/why/redhanded/images/aside-from-th... http://viewsourcecode.org/why/redhanded/images/gem-mirror-only.gif http://viewsourcecode.org/why/redhanded/images/gem-mirror-on... http://viewsourcecode.org/why/redhanded/images/irb-lex.gif http://viewsourcecode.org/why/redhanded/images/irb-lex.gif

  I used the simpsonfont for that: http://codebubble.heroku.com/ http://codebubble.heroku.com/
  - ZeroGravitas 14y ago
    Very nice. Though it doesn't apply the font for me on Firefox 19, Ubuntu Linux. Chromium works though. Checking out Google Web Fonts for appropriate hand writing fonts I noticed that all the good/suitable ones seems to be by the same person, Kimberly Geswein. I can't seem to link to all her fonts via a URL but searching for "Kimberly" brings them all up.
    - janerik 14y ago
      The code is over 2 years old, I did it on a whyday back then in about 10minutes. Had no time to make it work across all browsers.
shurcooL 14y ago
Phew, for a second there I thought this was going to be what I'm trying to create, namely an online repository for functions within an executable environment, plus dependency management. Gist + play.golang.org + Cloud9 in one.
- nmcfarl 14y ago
  That’s something I’d like to see :)

Before clicking I thought this was a service where you can paste a snippet in any programming language and it gets automatically rewritten to FORTRAN 77 (with a few random bugs added).

One suggestion: handle excess indentation. If I copy code from something and it's been indented 3-4 levels, it's pushed almost all the way (if not all the way) off the picture. Love the support for Solarized, by far my favorite color scheme!
- hardex 14y ago
  our code editor is the super-duper CodeMirror. Just Ctrl-A and Shift-Tab
  - prawks 14y ago
    Cool, thanks! Perhaps an inclusion of such tips on the site, then? Definitely useful!

Really disappointed with the lack of APL[1] support. (You've probably never heard of it.) No character set support, no syntax highlighting. [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APL_(programming_language) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APL_(programming_language)

Just so you know, I couldn't horizontally scroll or zoom out on my iPhone (iOS 6.1) on the page, so I couldn't see the other half of the site.

So this is kind of what its like to have interesting things to share as filtered images and friends who care enough to enjoy them! Now I just need friends :'-(

It would be much more useful if you could select where the snapshot focuses in and the zoom level. Still made me smile very much.
