great idea! :-)

nathell• 13 years ago

Absolutely gorgeous.

flixic• 13 years ago

I know it would be very difficult, but I also know it's possible, so what about live preview? I generated something, it wasn't as good as I hoped, and I wish I could tweak it a bit.

If not, maybe I'll try to hack this with <canvas> this weekend...

hardex3• 13 years ago

actually there's a Remix button that lets you just try the same data with different settings

ekyo777• 13 years ago

probably hackernews effect, but I'm getting a mix of 502 errors and slow page loads.

love the generate wallpaper tough

eksith• 13 years ago

Ditto. I think it broke :/

Magic in progress just takes infinite time when code contains Unicode... Or is it just me?

jan_g• 13 years ago

Nothing happens here, also. I just pasted some random Go code and got infinite 'Magic in progress'.

hardex3• 13 years ago

hackernews-effect, sorry, take your ticket for the queue :D

kmfrk• 13 years ago

This is what the developer equivalent of Dribbble should be!

Gorgeous work. I hope this means people will finally use proper presentation slides with syntax highlighting.

EDIT: I will say this, though: the thumbnail settings are so small, they could basically be text. The syntax settings are easier to make sense of, but I suggest just turning the remaining settings into text/buttons and instead use a placeholder example with the chosen settings.

If you haven't done so already, open it in Internet Explorer for an... alternative... stylesheet :)

tshadwell• 13 years ago

Just add class 'ie' to the html tags.

scottmagdalein• 13 years ago

10-line minimum?

hellweaver666• 13 years ago

I found this strange as well... especially when you consider the magic that can be done on a single line by a real coding-craftsman.

I wonder if it's purely a cosmetic issue (i.e. one line looks naff in a square box).

Sharlin• 13 years ago

Probably.

lalc• 13 years ago

Here's an obscure crypto algorithm I hand-rolled: http://instacode.linology.info/15261

You've probably never heard of it.

ZeroGravitas2• 13 years ago

Pre-eminent Ruby hipster _why used to hand-write code samples that looked pretty cool. Could that be an option using some suitable hand-writing font?

Some examples:

and not quite in the same theme but whatever:

I used the simpsonfont for that: http://codebubble.heroku.com/

ZeroGravitas2• 13 years ago

Very nice. Though it doesn't apply the font for me on Firefox 19, Ubuntu Linux. Chromium works though.

Checking out Google Web Fonts for appropriate hand writing fonts I noticed that all the good/suitable ones seems to be by the same person, Kimberly Geswein. I can't seem to link to all her fonts via a URL but searching for "Kimberly" brings them all up.

shurcooL2• 13 years ago

Phew, for a second there I thought this was going to be what I'm trying to create, namely an online repository for functions within an executable environment, plus dependency management. Gist + play.golang.org + Cloud9 in one.

nmcfarl• 13 years ago

That’s something I’d like to see :)

shurcooL2• 13 years ago

Then please star https://github.com/shurcooL/Conception, I'm working as fast as I can on making it happen. :)

Before clicking I thought this was a service where you can paste a snippet in any programming language and it gets automatically rewritten to FORTRAN 77 (with a few random bugs added).

joshguthrie• 13 years ago

I was hoping for a real hipsteruby filter :(

muratmutlu• 13 years ago

Well played whoever made this

ArunRaja• 13 years ago

Final image shows only part of the code (Why ?)

prawks2• 13 years ago

One suggestion: handle excess indentation. If I copy code from something and it's been indented 3-4 levels, it's pushed almost all the way (if not all the way) off the picture.

Love the support for Solarized, by far my favorite color scheme!

hardex3• 13 years ago

our code editor is the super-duper CodeMirror. Just Ctrl-A and Shift-Tab

prawks2• 13 years ago

Cool, thanks! Perhaps an inclusion of such tips on the site, then? Definitely useful!

seliopou• 13 years ago

Really disappointed with the lack of APL[1] support. (You've probably never heard of it.) No character set support, no syntax highlighting.

BCM43• 13 years ago

(You've probably never heard of it.)

Is this a hipster joke?

MaxGabriel2• 13 years ago

Yes.

michaelfeathers2• 13 years ago

I paste this in and it just spins forever saying "Magic in progress."

  # :: [event] -> [String, Int]
  def temporal_correlation_of_classes events
    events.group_by {|e| [e.day,e.committer]}
          .values
          .flat_map {|e| e.map(&:class_name).uniq.combination(2).to_a }
          .pairs
          .freq
          .sort_by(&:second)
  end
  
  # :: [event] -> { String => date }
  def classes_by_closure events
    class_names = method_events(events).map(&:class_name).uniq
    classes = Hash[class_names.zip([Time.now] * class_names.length)]
    method_events(events).each {|e| classes[e.class_name] = e.date }
    classes.to_a.sort_by {|_,date| date }
  end

galaktor• 13 years ago

Same thing for me (different code). I believe the server is on it's knees.

michaelfeathers2• 13 years ago

Damn. I was hoping the code had too much magic.

MaxGabriel2• 13 years ago

Just so you know, I couldn't horizontally scroll or zoom out on my iPhone (iOS 6.1) on the page, so I couldn't see the other half of the site.

k00pa• 13 years ago

Its using some custom fonts or something, weird icons showing up where I would assume there is some nice looking icons...

felipesabino• 13 years ago

if only it didn't ask for github's private email address for signup

kahfei• 13 years ago

I am trying to paste this beautiful letter to Augusta http://jpfuentes2.tumblr.com/post/39935683274/a-letter-to-my..., anticipating the most beautiful ever wallpaper in code, but it is still magic in progress after 5 minutes of wait though.

n3rdy• 13 years ago

So this is kind of what its like to have interesting things to share as filtered images and friends who care enough to enjoy them!

Now I just need friends :'-(

yarianluis• 13 years ago

It would be much more useful if you could select where the snapshot focuses in and the zoom level.

Still made me smile very much.
