The iterative nature of art

👋 This page was last updated ~12 years ago. Just so you know.

“Some people don’t understand the iterative nature of art, design and game design.”

“Instead, they try to reach the final version on the first try and get frustrated when it’s not as good as they thought.”

“Aim for the best you can, but know that you will have to iterate, work on it again. Know that it’ll get better on the next step!”

— Dominique Ferland, aka @Dom2D

Cracking Electron apps open

I use the draw.io desktop app to make diagrams for my website. I run it on an actual desktop, like Windows or macOS, but the asset pipeline that converts .drawio files, to .pdf, to .svg, and then to .svg again (but smaller) runs on Linux.

So I have a Rust program somewhere that opens headless chromium, and loads just the HTML/JS/CSS part of draw.io I need to render my diagrams, and then use Chromium’s “print to PDF” functionality to save a PDF.
