The FX row had grown into a flat list where a brush and a filter and a shape sat side by side, and it lied about what the tools are: HEAL and MOSAIC only paint, LINEAR and RADIAL only make a mask. The row now carries FIX and GRADIENT MASK, in that order, before MONOCHROME, and each one opens its own strip holding the tools that belong to it — turning amber when it has a spot or a mask to show for itself, so the state still reads from the row without opening anything. The two brushes moved into the FIX strip with the header FIX above them, the two shapes into the GRADIENT MASK strip under the header GRADIENT MASK, and each CLEAR moved in with the tool it clears instead of sitting at the end of the row. Opening FIX still arms the brush the same way — the strip only changes where the chip lives, not what clicking it does. The mask column (shine, bearing, feather, and the rest) still hangs off the shape you pick, so it now stands right after the options column: the strip that brought it out comes first, then the column it belongs to. Nothing else in the column order moved. ponytail: the two strips ride the existing openGroup and toggleGroup, so a strip key is just a widened GroupKey rather than new state to keep in sync; the option-strip body itself stayed where it was, keeping the diff to the chips that moved. Verified: - npx tsc --noEmit clean. - Frontend probes against the built production bundle on :8090 and the dev server: mask-probe 53/0, brush-edit-probe 35/0, heal-idle-probe 23/0, heal-zoom-drag-probe 28/0, grain-controls 20/0, temp-swatch 33/0, and landing, pro-gate, award-column, otp-code, tone-curve, hsl-panel, chip-edge, chips-desk, slider-reset all PASS rc=0 fails=0. - Backend npm test 180/0. - panel-test keeps exactly its four pre-existing failures (rail labels, WB swatch); they reproduce on the commit before this one.
RecipesCam
RecipesCam is a camera and photo-editing app built around recipes — reusable
looks that carry a film simulation plus a full set of adjustments. You shoot or
open a photo, dial in a look, and keep it as a recipe you can apply again, share
as a .recipe file, or save to your account.
It ships twice from one repository: a React Native (Expo) app for iOS and
Android, and a self-contained web build under docker/ that runs the same
render pipeline in the browser.
What it does
- Shoot with a recipe applied. Live viewfinder, GPS-tagged captures, and the recipe baked into the saved file.
- Film simulations. Built-in looks — PROVIPES, VELVIPES, CLASSIC CHRIPES, CLASSIC NEGIPES, ASTIPES, ETERNIPES, ACRIPES, B&W HIGH CONTRAST and the LC STREETLIFE pair — each with its own grain and tone curve.
- The full adjustment set. Exposure, contrast, highlights and shadows, saturation, colour temperature, clarity, grain, and an HSL mixer with a colour picker that samples straight off the photo.
- Geometry. Crop to a fixed ratio or free-form, quarter turns, and a straighten ruler, plus printed frames (classic border, retro instant, wall frame portrait/landscape).
- Finishing. Watermark and GPS stamp, EXIF carried through the export, JPEG written with a proper 300 DPI JFIF header.
- On-device upscaling. A Real-ESRGAN pass runs locally when an export asks for more pixels than the source has — no server sees the photo.
- Recipes. Save, favourite, export and import
.recipefiles; the web build keeps them in your account, the phone build also keeps them on device.
The two builds
| Build | Where | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| iOS / Android | repo root | Expo + React Native, @shopify/react-native-skia for the render pipeline, NativeWind for styling |
| Web | docker/ |
Vite + React, CanvasKit (canvaskit-wasm) for the same pipeline, Fastify + SQLite API for accounts and recipes |
The render engine is shared by design: the web build compiles the app's own
src/utils/* and type definitions unchanged, with @shopify/react-native-skia
aliased to a CanvasKit shim (docker/frontend/src/engine/skiaShim.ts). A look
looks the same on both because it is the same code.
Running the web build
cd docker
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up -d --build
# → http://localhost:8090
Photos never leave the browser: grading, framing, watermarking and JPEG
encoding all run in the visitor's tab; the API only stores accounts and recipe
JSON. See docker/README.md for the layout and the proxy setup.
Running the app
npm install
npx expo start # Expo Go / dev client
npx expo run:android # or run:ios for a native build
Repository layout
App.tsx, src/ the Expo app: screens, tool rail, viewfinder, shaders
docker/ the web build (frontend + API + compose file)
frontend/shared/ vendored copies of the app's types and utils
