d2 VS hydra

While not embedded in markdown, I like d2 [1]. I can use it with org-babel to embed and view the diagrams on emacs. After using graphviz for years, the visual output seems more polished to me. With that said, I want to give pikchr a try.

In the next post I'll deep-dive into the D2 language which also has a huge set of features. Stay tuned.

That site is created by the maintainers of D2[1], so it might be biased, but I still think D2 has the friendliest syntax of the bunch, including nomnoml.

I've been using https://structurizr.com/ to automatically generate C4 diagrams from a model (rather than drawing them by hand). It works well with the approach for written documentation as proposed in https://arc42.org/. It's very easy to embed a C4 diagram into a markdown document.

The result is a set of documents and diagrams under version control that can be rendered using the structurizr documentation server (for interactive diagrams and indexed search).

I also use https://d2lang.com/ for declarative diagrams in addition to C4, e.g., sequence diagrams and https://adr.github.io/ for architectural decision records. These are also well integrated into structurizr.

Different hydra

https://github.com/hydra-synth/hydra

I heard about vvvv in my first year of studying in this industry. And kyma for sound design.

But I later discovered that the more mainstream ones are puredata and its commercial version max/msp. for sound design I also use: supercollider and csound.

After some years, I felt that I still preferred text-based interaction while I need some even simpler live coding or prototyping tool. so I made glicol.

for visuals, I would recommend:

Graphics

- Processing is a great place to start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JzDttgdILQ

- Great intro to programming shaders for art from kishimisu: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4s1h2YETNY

- Inigo Quilex invented ShaderToy among other things. I haven't watched this yet but I'm sure it's awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFld4EBO2RE

- Hydra looks pretty neat for live-coding graphics in the browser: https://hydra.ojack.xyz/

I was really hoping to find a platform that would allow for integrating a programmatic 'score' of music and drive visuals from it, like one step above just using the wave-form to trigger visuals.. I don't know if I've found what I'm happy with yet.. I think I'll try to hook up the OSC signals from SuperCollider with some visuals, but not sure. I want to use shaders if possible, and SC doesn't really support that. Gibber seems great but I'm not sure. Maybe Tidal has it, but the Tidal lang might take a while to learn. I want to use raw frequency values for the notes as much as possible, and that's really easy in SC. I don't want to be stuck using midi notes.

Or https://github.com/hydra-synth/hydra (Livecoding networked visuals in the browser, since 2017)

http://hydra.ojack.xyz would be my secondary recommendation. You can pull all different kinds of source into it and do lots of the typical video mixer effects plus a lot more.

If you like this, then you will probably like /r/livecoding. https://hydra.ojack.xyz/ is a great starting point if you'd like to code visuals - it is JS based, reactive to audio, quite easy to get started.

hydra - this is a free browser based coding environment that generates visuals. There’s a lot of documentation on their site on how to use it which is great. I’m not super knowledgeable on it but there’s a very active discord server.

Hi there, I just have a friends small party and I'm looking for online visual generators to mix into Resolume via iPad or web browser, is just for fun so is not worth to generate visuals from scratch since is a very small party and we want only to have fun with the projector so I'm looking for online (or iPad apps) that can generate visual elements to mix like ( http://spacetypegenerator.com/ , https://hydra.ojack.xyz/ or https://patatap.com/) so I can run them in an iPad and have some fun with feedback and Resolume. Do you know more resources like this?

Im using hydra.ojack.xyz for a university project and am having some issues. I am aiming to use my laptop mic to affect the onscreen visuals with the audio. I have literally 0 coding knowledge so was using openAI for help but the code its giving me doesn't seem to be working.
