✨ Lucent

A luminous VS Code theme where light weaves through code

"I never stopped weaving. I just changed the thread.
From polymer to pixel. From loom to loop."
— Reyhaneh Daneshdoost (reyrove)

🌟 What is Lucent?

Lucent (meaning "glowing with light") is a VS Code theme inspired by textiles, generative art, and the poetry of luminous structures — with a soft, glowing twist. It's for textile engineers who code, creative coders who design, and anyone who treats code like a loom and light like thread.

This theme transforms your editor into a digital loom of light — where every line of code is a luminous thread, every function is a weaving pattern, and every program is a glowing fabric.

Syntax Highlighting

// 🧵 Weaving a glowing function
function weavePattern(threads, pattern) {
  // 💛 Golden light thread
  const fabric = "silk";
  let result = "";
  
  // 🔄 Loop like a spinning wheel
  for (let i = 0; i < threads.length; i++) {
    result += threads[i] + " woven ";
  }
  
  return result;
}

🧵 About the Creator

Reyhaneh Daneshdoost (reyrove) is a Computational Textile Designer — a textile engineer who fell into algorithms.

"I started as a textile engineer — threads, fibers, polymers, the physical poetry of woven structures. Then I fell into algorithms. JavaScript. p5.js. Generative art. Now I live where they collide: weaving logic into texture, and texture into logic."

• 🎨 50+ generative art projects on fxhash, objkt, EditArt
• 🧵 Real clothes printed from generative algorithms
• 📚 Tutorials in English & Persian (including Fortran!)
