Ryosuke's Portfolio and Blog

I decided to treat myself recently by giving myself time to work on an old side project - the Rust DAW.

If you’ve been following me recently you might have noticed I finally picked up a MacBook for native development.

You’ve probably seen the videos on social media - there’s a cool looking prototype, but wait, the person expands a menu with a bunch of input sliders and knobs.

Recently I had an idea while exploring a new project that had some Tailwind components - why be forced to use UI I don’t want to use?

AI agents are taking over apps everywhere.

Last year I put together a WebGPU renderer written in TypeScript.

As someone who rapidly prototypes apps, one of my favorite features in a design system is utility style props.

I’ve been exploring Penpot recently, the open source UI design platform competitor to Figma.

Recently I decided to dig back into Penpot, a collaborative UI design application.

When I’m building apps or games, there often comes to a point where you want to save the user’s progress somehow.

I’ve been doing a lot of research and prototyping lately to learn about new concepts and tech.

As a designer I fight the urge to redesign every other month, or whenever I’m browsing for inspiration on the feeds.

I’ve done a bit of work in the audio space, but I’m often leveraging existing frameworks - like the Web Audio API or say JUCE for native.

2025 was a wild year.

For a few months on and off I’ve been building an app for learning how to play piano.

I’ve been working on a research app that leverages a local LLM to enhance the learning experience.

There’s no denying that LLMs have exploded in the past couple years.

I was shocked to see recently that Shopify moved it’s design system from React to Web Components.

WebGPU has been blowing up recently.

I’ve been putting more and more time into clawdio, a JavaScript library for creating audio effects with WASM.

If you’ve been following me recently you’ll know that I’ve been working on clawdio, a JS library for creating Web Audio effects - like say “Bitcrusher”.

I was cruising through audio YouTube recently and I stumbled on a video about an interesting app that lets you paint on a canvas and generate sound.

As I’ve been working with the Web Audio API, I’ve become most interested in the Web Worklet API that lets you process audio on a separate thread.

Recently I’ve been stacking up quite a few digital sketchbooks with experiments ranging from 3D to web audio to animations.

Recently had a wild idea - what if I could take a Rive animation and run it inside a 3D scene?

I’ve been falling down the rabbit hole of audio synthesis, or by the scientific term: digital signal processing.

I’ve been really building up assets for my personal branding - getting ready for things like streaming or just making more long and short-form videos.

This year one of my goals was to get organized.

I’ve been doing a bit of motion graphics and animation in Blender recently.

As I’ve been making beats with DAWs like Ableton Live, I’ve been considering what it’d be like to generate music notes programmatically - instead of manually using the DAW’s UI.

I’ve got a quick one today for the motion design peeps.

I’ve been using Bluesky more lately and it’s been cool exploring the underlying architecture (the “AT Protocol”) and the APIs they make available.

I’ve been hooked on incorporating MIDI and music into my process recently.

A few days ago my partner was working on a Blender project and needed to render out some assets for a printed asset.

Recently I put together a Blender plugin to take gamepad input and translate it to the 3D scene (like moving the camera around and saving keyframes).

It’s been a while since I wrote and released react-unified-input, and I wanted to share the process behind creating it and demystify focus management and spatial navigation in modern applications.

After working on adding gamepad input to Blender, the next logical step was to add MIDI input.

With Delta recently being approved and blowing up in the iOS App store as #1 for over a week — it’s easy to say everyone is enthused about emulation on their phone.

As a developer at PlayStation, I’m usually coding things that involve a gamepad.

Recently I’ve been rendering a lot of projects in Blender, from large 4k still images to 1080p videos.

This has been a long time coming (the redesign and this blog).

I’ve recently been getting into P5.js, a graphics library for the web that lets you easily draw to the canvas.

I’m a big fan of Final Fantasy 8 and the Triple Triad card game that’s featured inside it.

I’ve been doing a lot more work in Blender lately and the thing I find myself doing most is fiddling with render output settings.

Recently I upgraded my PC that was over 6 years old with a fairly top of the line setup.

Once Blender released Geometry Nodes, I’ve been interested in finding ways to integrate them into other pipelines and workflows.

Ever since I got a MIDI keyboard I look for any excuse to use it.

With another release of the Bevy comes another Bevy game jam.

I started to experiment with egui recently, a cross-platform UI library for Rust, to make an IDE for a game engine.

As I’ve been learning Rust, I find it best to make apps and tools that are useful to me.
