Inspired by this article, I built a small tool in Compose Desktop to more easily iterate through building fancy mesh gradients from @sinasamaki's Modifier recipe! Code is here github.com/c5inco/Mesh with the code export assuming you are using the same Modifier recipe

NGL I cringe now every time I switch to the "old" UI themes in @AndroidStudio and @intellijidea - can't wait for the new UI to be the default 🌟 In that spirit, here's a sneak peek of things to come 👀

Modifiers are fun and powerful w/ #JetpackCompose but take some time to wrap your head around! So... I made a Compose Modifiers Playground plugin - an interactive tool that others may find useful for learning. And it's built with Compose Desktop! plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/16417-c…

And here's the #JetpackCompose version! Didn't get hueRotation since there's nothing convenient in Android and don't have energy for color math right now. Hoping to later work out a fading tail effect like Apple Watch!
