I’ve been creating a tool but now contemplating of even releasing due to limitations. You draw a 2D sprite, set the depth of each ‘pixel’ and presto a 3D model! Since you’re working on 1 axis you can probably guess the limitations. Would love to hear your ideas? #gamedev

@jaffathecake @DKundel @chaos_monster @DasSurma @bendhalpern @forem My take has been (and still is) that you should send HTML wherever you can, and use JS to augment. It renders faster, and it’s resilient to JS failures.

It is a shame that as a community we’ve made it harder for people to do that by default.

At some point server-side rendering will be repackaged as “just-in-time static site generation” and I’m actually kinda looking forward to it.
