P5.js Scratchpad
Some years ago I started to learn Processing, a Java-like environment for creative coding. Later on, I discovered p5.js, a JavaScript library that started - I guess - as a porting of Processing to JavaScript, but now it's an indipendent project on its own. I have been using it to create …

Working as a freelancer in such environments is perhaps even worse, as you're supposed to be the hyper-efficient 10x developer unicorn that can make …
Intellij Live Templates for Javascript Development
I'm a IntelliJ IDEA user since late 2013. After a long (and not without problems) liaison with Eclipse IDE, and before that with the glorious Borland JBuilder, I wanted to try something new.
