What a fantastic post. Love how Manupa framed things here. Component libraries are almost as controversial as React, hopefully this helps break down why I like the way shadcn/ui does things :)

UI Libraries Are Dying, Here's Why http://mitchmckenna.com/post/19340/ui-libraries-are-dying-heres-why

I still get the occasional question about Material UI, Chakra, Bootstrap, and more. I think Shadcn/ui represents more than a trend, it represents a move away from UI libraries as a whole

Why Signals Are Better Than React Hooks http://mitchmckenna.com/post/19337/why-signals-are-better-than-react-hooks

Hooks in React are tricky to use correctly and even harder to use in a performant way. This has left many applications with poor code quality and bad performance, but that doesn’t have to be the case anymore. Signals is a technique that has been around for decades, but only recently has made its way to React and it makes creating performant clean code in React much easier. In this video I explain exactly how signals work and why they are so great.

Star Wars: X-Wing | A Star Wars Fan Film http://mitchmckenna.com/post/19187/star-wars-x-wing-a-star-wars-fan-film

After its defeat at Endor, the Empire struggles to maintain control over a fractured galaxy.

Seizing the opportunity, the New Republic launches a desperate assault to liberate the galactic capital.

The X-Wing pilots of Wraith Squadron rush into the fray to add support....


Directed by Christopher Parks

Starring Keith Cherry and Christopher Parks as Wraith One and Two.


This is a passion project of about 4 years in the making. I was a big fan of the X-Wing PC games as a kid and also really enjoyed Michael Stackpole's X-Wing book series. I’ve always had an interest in those New Republic adventures which is chiefly why I decided to make this short. I hope you all like it!

The primary software and workflow consisted of an animation pipeline in Blender that would be exported and rendered in Houdini using the GPU renderer Redshift. Final compositing was finished in After Effects.

Apart from a few kitbash sets, all assets were modeled and textured (Substance Painter) from scratch since the making of the spaceships is part of the fun.


This short film is based off the X-Wing video game series and Michael Stackpole's X-Wing novel The Krytos Trap.


Check out Arya Moghaddam’s fan film “Star Wars: Destroyer” to see Keith Cherry as Wraith One again! I also wrote and did the VFX for that short. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkgyCrJVMSI
