Dev builds 'Drawing Room', a painterly web page with no hard edges or vector fonts
andpoul · x · 2026-10-21
Engineer Andrew Pouliot launched Drawing Room, a web gallery of algorithmic paintings deliberately built without hard edges, rounded rectangles, or vector fonts—leaning on imperfections, pigment flow, and texture, inspired by Harold Cohen & AARON. Arrow keys step through individual strokes, Shift jumps ten, with a replay thumbnail to pause/resume; wall texture is baked via a build script into base64 PNG. His point: "Code isn't scarce, it can become whatever you imagine."
