The Future of Text
We are a community dedicated to working on how we can better develop text to augment our capabilities and we invite you to join us. We believe that the potential of richly interactive text to truly augment how we think & communicate is massive. Text after all, is externalized symbols we can interact with to extend our mind’s reach. Therefore text is not just a medium, it is also a tool for thought, and we are looking Beyond Visual Range.

Apple's on-device SLM, while not as strong in simple multilingual tasks as Google's Gemma 3 4B (3.3GB, 5GB in memory), seems to outperform Qwen3 4B or Phi 4 mini reasoning. It's very very impressive, especially considering its extremely reduced size of around ~1.4GB— INIYSA (@lafaiel) June 10, 2025
Text rendering and effects using GPU-computed distances
Text rendering is cursed. Anyone who has worked on text will tell you the same; whether it's about layout, bi-directional, shaping, Unicode, or the rendering itself, it's never a completely solved problem. In my personal case, I've been working on trying to render text in the context of a compositing engine for creative content. I needed crazy text effects, and I needed them to be reasonably fast, which implied working with the GPU as much as possible. The distance field was an obvious requirement because it unlocks anti-aliasing and the ability to make many great effects for basically free.
