Dev uses AI to upgrade stereo-img web component, mourns lost hand-crafted joy
steren · x · 2026-11-16
Developer steren reflects on maintaining his open-source <stereo-img> web component, which renders stereo 3D images (VR180, left-right, anaglyph, and more) with VR support. Before AI, he hand-built parsers and 3D projection for various stereo formats; now AI handles those tasks plus bugfixes and performance improvements. He's sad to lose that mental exercise but excited that the library is better than he could ever have made alone.
