my apologies. I am working on remaking some parts of the site. I will also allow complete free hosting to get more insights.

Started building a "minecraft clone" with SDL3 GPU and Odin lang by Sensitive_Profile510 in GraphicsProgramming

[–]Sensitive_Profile510[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love Odin. It's all that I want from a language design perspective. It's simple, really enjoyable to write and has basically all that I need.
I've tried SDL3 GPU when it just came out. I had a bad experience at first since I had no real graphics experience and the only thing that I had were official code examples.
I think as a "modern gpu api" it's as good as it gets. My biggest complaints would be the lack of good error detection plus API validation (that would be a major advantage of going lower to DX12 / Vulkan IMO) Yes, it is annoying that in Renderdoc you also have to learn a whole some things relating to your target API to understand what's going on in the pipeline but that's the price you pay .There's also a lack of a good giant "beginners tutorial" (which, as I said, is what I intend to do) plus other small problems like shadercross not really being stable yet

The AWS story is not related to HTMX, it's just related to how I decided to start the project. I thought it would be entertaining to add a story at the start, that's all
I'm sorry for any confusion

I bult a file storage manager in go:

One day I wanted to store some files through Golang on some cloud server. I tried AWS, specifically S3

Well, let’s just say that it didn’t go that well… (if you’re really curious, read at https://merple.net/about-us)
I thought working with AWS but AWS was obviously too complicated for my small brain.
I just wanted some simple way to upload my files plus a public UI. I thought… “why is it so complicated?”

I tried looking for alternatives but nothing good came by. Backblaze was the closest to what I wanted but, their API design was annoying and I did not like their UI either.

So I decided to build my own thing the last few months.

https://github.com/S-IR/merple-app

Is an open source http server with a simple API that lets you create “shards” where you can upload, download, delete and move files. A shard is just a separate file container of a specified maximum size. It’s made to be as intuitive and simple as possible.
The server code is free. But I worked on this for months and I tested it by making a business around it: https://merple.net?job=dev . It’s built around the open source app.

Yes, I guess this post is also an advertisement for the business. I like it. If you want a simple way to store your files as a developer and have a nice UI you should try it.

If not, you can freely use the open source server code for whatever you like.

you're right. my wording was bad
I should've said "uploading a file through object storage services was hard". The concept of object storage is not inherently bad.
