So! Our wedding invitation got a little out of hand. It now has ten rooms, a party, a road trip, and far too many games, apps, and secrets. Loft Day is live—and open source.

Open Source GPU text rasterization update:
Recently, Eric Lengyel dedicated his patent on the Slug algorithm to the public domain and released Slug's shaders as Open Source software.
I am happy to announce that GLyphy now implements the Slug algorithm:

I have an update about experimental HarfRust performance that I like to share:
"To beat @HarfBuzz with #HarfRust" docs.google.com/document/d/1Lj…
TL;DR:
Previous performance comparisons of HarfRust to HarfBuzz were flawed in that the HarfBuzz code tested had assert statements enabled. in favor of HarfRust. Moreover, since the last measurements in September 2025, both HarfBuzz & HarfRust got faster, but at a rate that made HarfRust fall further behind HarfBuzz in comparison.
In this work, proof-of-concept unsafe patch to font-codegen & read-fonts as well as removing bounds-checking from HarfRust buffer type show massive speedup benchmarks: from being 20% to 80% slower, down to being less than 10% slower.

Evolution of @harfbuzz shaping speed over four years, for four benchmarks. Lower is better.

این همشهری منو واداشت که امشب «کنجدی» درست کنیم خونه‌ی خواهرم. آشپزخونه‌ی خودمم دوست دارم.
و در نهایت... وجه تسمیه‌ی پِشتِ زیک:
میگن بافتش شبیهِ نقش و رنگ پُشت پرنده‌ی کوچکیه که تو مازندرانی به زیک معروفه. من این‌طوری شنیدم.
تو خونواده‌ی ما برای این که شبیه محصولات بازاری نشه عمدن بی‌نظم تیکه‌تیکه می‌کنیمش. وگرنه همون وقت که داغه می‌شه مربعی برش زد یا هر طور دیگه.
