ganja.js VS @blueprintjs/core

Some people's brains just work this way. Here's an example of a somewhat popular and regularly maintained library written in a similar style: https://github.com/enkimute/ganja.js/blob/6e97cb45d780cd7c66...

Once your learn to recognise the commonalities, you'll see examples everywhere. The most extreme and stereotypical version is the billboards written by some homeless people. You can probably picture it already in your mind's eye: A wall of very dense text with little whitespace or structure, and a mix of fonts and colours seemingly at random.

I had a brilliant mathematician friend who wrote like this. He would squeeze and entire semester's worth of study notes into a single sheet of paper, on one side. It was impenetrable gibberish to everyone else, but the colours and 2D positioning let him build a mental mind-map.

For people like this, if you reformat their code even a tiny bit, their mental map is invalidated, and they lose track of it completely and become upset. I discovered this (the hard way) when applying automatic code formatting tools to the codebases I mentioned previously.

Personally, I find this type of thing to be absolutely fascinating, because it's the intersection of many fields of study, and hence is under-studied. There's elements of pedagogy, psychology, literacy, compute science, etc...

It's an open question how we can get large groups of neurodiverse humans to collaborate on a codebase when they don't even "read" or "think" in compatible ways!

I was watching bivector videos and how it could be a viable replacement for matrix algebra in video games and I have been very impressed by the intuitiveness and consistency of the equations. There is this ganja.js for demonstrating the graphics and has a rust generated code https://github.com/enkimute/ganja.js/tree/master/codegen/rust I'm too naive to understand the implementation, but I'm glad a library like ultraviolet is here to start paving the use of Geometric Algebra in computer graphics.

Well I've been on a real Geometric Algebra (aka Clifford Algebra) kick lately, and ran across ganja.js [1]. It's a single no deps file that is...impressive. 120k uncompressed, and with it you can construct any degree algebra (including the more esoteric hyperbolic/parabolic ones), render to canvas, svg or webgl(!). It also includes a clever little DSL parser and interpreter (it overloads the scientific notation to name basis vectors!) that lets you construct more complex things from simple things using various kinds of products.

The author, Steven De Keninck, is quite impressive as well, having got his start in the demoscene some time ago. He has a good video from 2019 that explains why this algebra is better than [matrices, tensors, vectors, complex numbers]. Of particular interest (to me anyway) is the 2D projective geometry.

I don't want to oversell it, but ganja is fucking amazing and there is a great deal I want to do with it. For one, I'd like to recapitulate my physics degree with it.

Great documentation!

Blueprint : A collection of components for building data-intensive interfaces for desktops. It specifically states that it is not designed to work for mobile. It is most likely better for building internal tools, dashboards, and Electron apps. Blueprint is one of the few libs in this list that has a Date Picker component.

Blueprint is a React-based UI toolkit for the web. It is optimised for building complex, data-dense web interfaces for desktop applications that run in modern browsers and IE11. (Source: Blueprint GitHub)

Blueprint is a UI toolkit for React that is designed to build data-rich interfaces for web applications. The core Blueprint NPM package contains 30+ common and unique React components like Button, Card, Menu, Form Group, File Input, etc.

Blueprintjs seem to not work in SSR. https://github.com/palantir/blueprint/issues/131

Maybe https://blueprintjs.com/ for you, although last time I checked it did not have explicit mobile or tablet support. (They don’t aim to break mobile or tablet but they don’t endeavour to support it.)

There are other libraries as well like tailwind, and component libraries like Semantic UI, React Bootstrap, Ant Design, Chakra UI, BluePrint, Material UI, etc., which you can try out.

I figured I'd get some downvotes mentioning PLTR here. ;-)

GPalantir is definitely being more open with their demo now, so there are some good ones on their youtube channel.

You can skim through.

I'm impressed by how polished everything looks. As a person who does UX / product design, their working software looks better than most designer's portfolio mockups.

I'm impressed by how fast and snappy everything works or feels.

I'm impressed by how rich and custom tailored their UI component library is.

I'm impressed by how focused and tailored their UI for job at hand.

I'm impressed by how every single page in their application looks beautiful, not just a handful.

They actually have all their React UI library published as opensource here. https://blueprintjs.com/

If there's anyone from pltr reading this, good job. Your design people are amazing.
