$A memory like this: I’ve been exploring Liquid Glass for at least one year now, recreating many versions exactly nine all built with totally different techniques. I came to a realization. iOS 26, at least for me, missed part of the purpose. Liquid Glass is often used as decoration, while refraction could become the core of the user experience. Not an embellishment, but interaction itself. By turning a glass panel, refraction reveals something else: another app, another image, another portal. That’s when it clicked. You look through one image, turn slightly, and suddenly you’re somewhere else. Same moment, different feeling. I really hope Apple takes this approach to the next level. Vibecoded with WebGL.$

When I was a kid, I was fascinated by lenticular images. I really thought it was magic. Lenticular printing is not something you casually experiment with. It’s expensive. Industrial. Hard to access. So instead of buying it… I rebuilt it. Inside wabi I recreated the same optical behavior using webgl. Not just a transition between two frames, but a small system that reacts to angle like light bending through ridged plastic. It’s strange how something that felt like childhood magic can become something you build yourself. Maybe that’s what technology is supposed to do.

I heard that you like shaders✨ Here’s my attempt at recreating the Apple Intelligence border glow while I wait for WWDC 2026.

I never lived early-2000s tech, when products had a soul and quality came first. So I recreated the 2007 iPod as an app, thanks to wabi not for nostalgia, but to explore something I never experienced. The phone is still the right form factor. We just haven’t explored how much it can morph.

I told you I was the Kanye West of vibecoding. Or, as I call it: system sculpting. Today, with wabi, I recreated a fully working prototype of the stem player in less than 48 hours. A generative hardware interface that creates small samples and lets you mix them directly on the device. But here’s the wild part: there is no 3D model. No GLTF files, no external assets, no polygons. The entire device every curve, speaker hole, and glowing LED is pure math. Built with SDFs (Signed Distance Fields) and raymarched inside a single fragment shader on a 2D surface. Generative audio. Generative geometry. All native. All system sculpted. Have fun.

Software you can feel. Today with wabi I built something the world probably didn’t know it needed. A wax seal creator inspired by all those Pinterest stamp images and my obsession with medieval emblems. You upload a stamp, tap the wax, and watch it melt and deform almost like your screen is giving in. Not just visual. Physical. And yes, you can export your stamp as a png to use on your letters.

Here’s the problem: software interfaces are abstract, hardware is instinctive. We don’t learn objects, we recognize them. Buttons, wheels, friction, position they map to how we exist in the real world. Menus, layers, hidden states they fight against it. This is why this feels different. It’s not an app pretending to be a recorder. It’s a recorder that happens to exist in software. Built in wabi

What if your OS could recharge your brain instead of draining it? Today, while experimenting on my journey toward a morphing system UI, I created a mini app with wabi based on the concept of Soft Fascination. (In Attention Restoration Theory, Soft Fascination describes the feeling you get when watching fire crackle or water flow: your mind steps away from direct focus and gently regenerates.) The rotating glass flower acts as a cognitive anchor: like an interactive lava lamp, it keeps you present and restores calm without effort. You’re tapping into a primal instinct: manipulating matter, kneading clay, playing with water. WIP

The World Builder? While experimenting inside wabi, moving between CPU-based tests, Skia renders, custom shaders, and my own take on Liquid Glass, something shifted. After years of vibecoding with 2D and interface-driven logic, I wanted to see if environments could exist inside wabi. Almost unintentionally, I retraced the history of videogames: from raycasting, where space is implied, to rasterization, where geometry becomes explicit, all the way to path tracing, where light defines reality. And that matters, because world building isn’t about visual fidelity. It’s about how a world exists, feels, and reacts. That’s why I’m starting to see Wabi as something else entirely. Not just a tool for mini apps, but something closer to a world-building engine. Maybe it’s too early to define it. But one thing is clear: Wabi doesn’t just build mini apps. It builds worlds.
