Are you sure?

Boris Dalstein first published his work on Vector Graphic Complexes (VGC) at SIGGRAPH in 2014 [1]

CEO of Figma here. Most of the original insights around vector networks were in 2013, though we continued to polish the implementation over time. We didn't exit stealth and ship the closed beta of Figma until December 2015 which is why there isn't blog content before then.

At first glance, this thesis looks super neat! I'm excited to check it out! I don't believe I've seen it before which is surprising given the overlap.

Hey, thanks for chiming in! I appreciate the correction.

You and Boris seem to have identified the pain-point and got to a similar place independently

Learning too much from this thread. I tried to look at Wikipedia and it seems there is an opportunity for a page about vector networks!
