09/12/2021, 8:03 PMHey everyone, worked on something a bit weird this weekend and wanted to give you all a sneak peak. I generated NFTs for 50 AWS services: https://opensea.io/collection/aws-cubed
I'll be launching them for real tomorrow but wanted to show you all early

09/12/2021, 9:18 PMThrough a lot of trial and error 😅 AWS provides a pack of icons for their services. I built a webpage in threejs that renders it as a 3d rotating box, then I used a library that steps through the frames in the browser to capture the frames and create a video.
Left that open for 3 hours to step through all the icons (did 270 of them) - really should have done this on AWS Lambda. Then I picked the top 50 and uploaded them here

09/12/2021, 9:19 PMyeah so many services... I learned a lot about AWS in this process

09/12/2021, 9:19 PMAnd learned how ridiculously inconsistent their naming is

09/12/2021, 9:21 PMYeah.
Adrián Mouly
09/12/2021, 9:21 PMSome are called Amazon and other AWS, right?

09/12/2021, 9:21 PMAmazon Lambda… AWS SQS.
Adrián Mouly
09/12/2021, 9:21 PMWell, lambda is AWS, haha.

09/12/2021, 9:22 PMYeah Amazon QuickSight...that's a good point I didn't pay attention to that when naming. Need to go back and fix

Adrián Mouly
09/12/2021, 9:26 PMYeah it’s so confusing… other is Amazon Polly.
Adrián Mouly
09/12/2021, 9:27 PMBut it’s insane how many services they have.
