Hey, thanks for reading and it's great to read your interesting discussions. Couple of things. The main reason to move my data to the EU is that I live in the EU and I don't want a few non-EU companies in an unstable political cli

I'm considering Adyen and Mollie, but presently lacking the time to properly investigate and redo my payment flows. It will happen at some point.

Yeah I named the color palette after my own alias 20 years ago, that was not the smartest move perhaps, but hey here we are.

To be honest I implemented Lettermint before I migrated to Scaleway, so I didn't even look at TEM. At that point I was more than happy though. And I like to support my fellow Dutch startups too.

Well this is nice. Apparently I reached some limits (thanks all), and had to pay Cloudflare more. Fair I guess, although some warning would've been nice. Tried multiple payment options multiple times just now and Cloudflare botched eve

My website is absolutely for me. Anyone who wants to visit is welcome though, I put it online for a reason. (You're also free to move along for that matter, that's up to you.) The article states "A website isn't art&quot

The special thing is that it’s decentralized. I know this discussion will not resolve and I’m not a blockchain zealot. I do think it’s an elegant decentralized storage system for algorithmic art where you make outputs definitive and collect

You’re conflating AI art with algorithmic art. This is the reason why I wrote the article.

A generative system can produce an infinity of outputs. An art platform combined with a blockchain allows you to store a finite number of outputs from the same system definitively without knowing upfront what the outputs would look like. Th

Generative systems often produce random outputs every time it runs. When run in a browser, an output just vanishes after a refresh and is usually never found again if you haven't saved the PRNG seed. Using a blockchain, you can store a

I really like generative art. It's part intellectual ingenuity, part aesthetics. I've only realized later that it had a name, but since I've had my hands on a computer, I've been making generative graphics with code one

I program with syntax highlighting. I'm not convinced by the arguments of the article: - actively clicking on matching parentheses has the benefit of selecting that part - being more sensitive to the "beauty" of the code I th

Thank you for making this tool. I'm calling it in a custom webpack plugin so it transforms GLSL code into a single minified string on every build / watch event. I used this setup for my latest artwork: https://monokai.c

Photography and algorithmic art are exactly my thing. In the past few years, I’ve been deeply exploring generative art, though I prefer calling it "Algorithmic Art" since "generative" is often linked to AI now. Some of m

That's untrue. I've created https://monokai.pro , to my knowledge the first commercial theme. It's been going strong for years now. People are willing to pay for nice things. Especially if it takes longer to create

This is the one app I use every day. I practically live in it. Most editors are slower and more visually cluttered, or pack so much functionality that I often get lost. Sublime strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and functionalit

Re: keeping up-to-date: color themes depend on underlying syntax definitions. Every now and then these are updated and break the colors in subtle ways. Aslo, custom icon requests for files / languages, editors that update and provide n

The original Monokai was created in 2006, and I created Monokai Pro in 2017 to be more balanced, include a custom icon set and color filters. Here's more information about the history of Monokai: https://monokai.pro/his

I don't think I'll share the details in the future, but it's an experiment for sure. I've seen success by selling one-off licenses of Monokai Pro for Sublime Text and VSCode, where I used the same mechanism: everything i

The common theme was created by me. I've tried my best to make a polished theme for Jetbrains so that all colors in the IDE and the syntax highlighting harmonize better.

Thanks! I thought about unlocking color filters for subscribers, but opted for making everything available for free, and just showing a popup asking for a license every now and then.
