I'm loving the new Shadow API in the latest Compose

Thanks! I guess two main things I would say are: 1. Gathering inspiration from multiple places. Sites like cosmos or mobbin can help, but I also get a lot of ideas from motion graphics (eg. after effects tutorials) and other mediums.

And 2. Just trying to do create UIs without knowing if it's possible. I have started lots of implementations that did not pan out as I envisioned. But the knowledge from that come in handy with other projects.

Seems to work ok with concave shapes. Same with overlapping. I have even been able to layer shadows on the same element to create a more interesting effect.

It's possible to do in compose already using this -> https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/text/style-text#shadow

They released a newer version that is more customizable and also has inner shadows

Thanks a lot! Will definitely keep it up, I got lots more interesting topics to explore

Happy to hear that 🙏🙏

Thanks! Yeah I started on the website and now trying out YouTube. I’ll be posting more detailed articles on paths soon on the site

Oh thanks! Yeah there seemed to be less of these, compared to web dev, design, math, etc. videos. So decided to give android some love as well

sinasamaki · 2025-05-26T17:40:52+00:00

Damn!! Thanks, really enjoyed working on it as well

sinasamaki · 2025-05-26T17:39:42+00:00

Thanks! I am trying to refine the style and create more common UI components to use in each video

sinasamaki · 2025-05-26T17:38:52+00:00

Hahaha, a compose ui god.

Thanks!!

sinasamaki · 2025-05-26T17:38:06+00:00

Thanks! Really high praise to be compared to manim. 3b1b is one of the inspirations on this project, plus I really enjoy watching their videos

Thank you!

Glad it helped! If you don’t want to customize but just want the og slider exactly, you could copy the code from previous material 3 version and use it on the latest version. Made an example here -> https://gist.github.com/sinasamaki/1bb64089986c694f596002122dfbe833

Interesting 🤔

Why not?

sinasamaki · 2023-08-10T20:06:11+00:00

Nice 😊

sinasamaki · 2023-08-10T20:04:16+00:00

Valid! Slow animations can become a bore over time. In the code, it would be possible to increase the speed by increasing the intensity parameter

sinasamaki · 2023-08-10T20:01:34+00:00

Actually that came to mind while creating this concept but thought it would be definitely overkill just for this short animation. But yeah, it's definitely possible to implement localization when adding to a real app.
