frmfrmon Show HN: A walkable 3D art history museum built from Wikipedia

Very cool! What stood out is there seems to be a canvas pattern added to the images, which the original don't have. I get it adds a nice touch of lighting but I'd prefer to switch that off to see the image without modifications. Great work!

frmfrmon Show HN: Garden of Flowers – an archive of pictorial typography before ASCII art

Would love to suggest having a way to get the whole archive and metadata to browse locally or mirror, perhaps via a torrent?

Very nice!

frmfrmon My Cat Mii

The full book is a fantastic read, yet beware that it takes some quite dark turns describing the author's depression at length and it includes some scatological depictions of animal suffering. It's ultimately a tale about grief and so it's peculiar that the cover design gives the impression it's a cute, feel-good story.

frmfrmon Shaderblocks: Block-based image editing

Great! Would love it if I could drag any number up/down to change it and see the result in real time. Same thing for entering a new value: see the result as I type. Right now editing the value removes that block's effect, which makes it very hard to tweak and play.
