Creative Coding & Opening Up Open Source
summary
Claim: browser creative coding becomes quick and exploratory with p5js, replacing verbose canvas plumbing with setup/draw and simple drawing primitives. Tools actually used include PoseNet and ml5 to map body keypoints to animated shapes, producing an 80s-style music video generator that runs live and works. Hardware experiments include plant agachi, EEG-driven lights and a laser harp. Community onboarding is concrete: an explicit welcome statement leads to first open‑source PRs and Google Summer of Code placement.
