Keziah Wesley reports a new STANDUP for yesterday (2023-05-02):

Progress: Switching focus back to performance; continuing Rectangle integration.
Sketching design for a future layers API that will eliminate the need for components to refer to hard-coded layers or partitions, focusing for now on whether there's a subset of this design I can implement quickly to avoid adding a lot of new hard-coding when transitioning one-off shapes to Rectangles. It should be finished by 2023-05-08.

Next Day: Next day I will be working on the #6544 task. Continuing Rectangle integration.

Keziah Wesley reports a new STANDUP for yesterday (2023-05-03):

Progress: A limited version of the future order-constraints API, that only supports within-symbol partition ordering, would be simple to implement; but I think it wouldn't help much with the increased need for hardcoded layer references, because transitioning unique symbols to Rectangles also creates Rectangle/other shape relationships. For now I'm moving ahead with a bit of hard-coding. It should be finished by 2023-05-08.

Next Day: Next day I will be working on the #6544 task. Continue integrating Rectangle.

Keziah Wesley reports a new STANDUP for today (2023-05-04):

Progress: Focusing on the Node shapes today, which are a complex case, but will eliminate several shapes. It should be finished by 2023-05-08.

Next Day: Next day I will be working on the #6544 task. Connections.

Keziah Wesley reports a new STANDUP for today (2023-05-05):

Progress: Started on single-shader edges. I will need to rewrite a lot of the edges code, but this will cut a lot of draw calls. It should be finished by 2023-05-08.

Next Day: Next day I will be working on the #6544 task. Continue on edges.

Keziah Wesley reports a new 🔴 DELAY for the last Friday (2023-05-05):

Summary: There is 4 days delay in implementation of the Lowering draw calls (#6544) task.
It will cause 0 days delay for the delivery of this weekly plan.

Delay Cause: I am doing more than 5 days of layer-reduction work because it's a lot of small changes that interact with each other and need to be heavily tested together, so it's efficient to batch them.

Keziah Wesley reports a new STANDUP for today (2023-05-08):

Progress: I set up a development environment on the 2020 M1 MacBook Air, which ended up taking most of the day. The results of a performance test on the machine were surprising; the real problem is that when the CPU starts getting saturated, we handle hover events in-order instead of skipping as necessary to handle them in a realtime manner, so we get terrible lag even with ok FPS. It should be finished by 2023-05-12.

Next Day: Next day I will be working on the #6544 task. Continue on single-shader edges.
