This time, my weekend experiment involved implementing the Knuth–Plass line-breaking algorithm [1] using an area model [2] inspired by the areas defined in the FO specification and the low-level TEX primitives.

Another interesting article analyzing Vector Networks

Today I found a very interesting application on Reddit, Square Sketch. It reminds me of Vector Networks in Figma.

I also discovered a useful trick because the Carton command-line tool appears to be outdated and does not support Swift 6.2.1, as far as I can tell.
ElementaryDOM uses two small tools to rebuild the project and reload the browser during development:
'watchexec' and 'browser-sync'

#swiftlang #swiftwasm #webassembly

ElementaryDOM is a very good library for writing small, useful web applications using #SwiftWasm with syntax similar to SwiftUI. Setting up a project was very easy.

You can even use it with Swift Embedded, which in my case results in a binary size of 2.5 MB.

#swiftlang #webassembly

The 70MB for the #Wasm binary from my test project is already a lot. Way too much for the internet. So I decided to try out different options to see if I could reduce the size. The results should be taken with a grain of salt, as I'm not very knowledgeable in this area. I tried using #Swift Embedded, compared debug and release builds, and looked at what using Foundation would bring. The results are in bytes.
