It's been a year since I made the move from news to software. Here's a few thoughts on what it's like working at @datawrapper after eight years in a newsroom. https://elliotbentley.com/blog/first-year-at-datawrapper/

New project! We explore how the most popular genres have shifted over the past 7 years, with K-pop now having more streams than R&B and EDM on Spotify. https://pudding.cool/2023/10/genre/

Practicing my stippling and composition with this little A5 cinematic particle drawing. A mix of pen and acrylic paint splatters. One of three designs I'm working on. #Generative #design #pendrawing

Having 2 monitors and having responsively.app open on one of them while working on the other is an excellent way to keep track of #reponsiveness while working! Immediate feedback!

I’m trying to create a deliberately awful chart for a talk I’m giving. Any ideas on how to make this worse?

One recent lesson: just because something seems like an old hat to you, it might still blow the minds of people who have never encountered it.

Basically, try to keep your beginner's mind when it comes to technology: what you found fascinating/useful/cool when starting out will feel the same way to people without your background.

Another "particle drawing" experiment. Trying to get the same feel as I got from digital versions a few years back. I like the valleys where the spheres merge into each other.

Is anyone ever using #alttext?
Could people maybe occasionally reach out to give feedback? I have no idea if mine are helpful, and never met anyone that uses them..

It is done. 85,000 words on what I think is the most important crime/surveillance story of the 21st century so far—how the FBI secretly ran an encrypted app for criminals that grew into a worldwide tech company. More on pre-ordering soon. The deepest investigation I've ever done.

seblammers, 8 months ago to animation

I published a new blog post that shows some peeks behind the curtain of how I made my "Stories from the night sky" project.

I talk about some challenges in scraping data, matching weird dates, and detecting hover/tap events on very small elements.

Bonus:

1. I show an #interactive #animation I developed that did not make it into the final piece.
2. And I share the dataset I created from the different Wikipedia-timelines, spanning from 3200 BCE to 2022-12-31.

https://ptsjs.org/ looks like a very cool #cavas2d #javascript library. It even has experimental @sveltjs bindings!

How about we introduce (otherwise meaningless) clauses like PLEASE or IF YOU DONT MIND to #SQL just to make the world a tiny bit better? We could call it NiceSQL and I'm taking full credit.

Some personal update from me: I'm taking a bit of a break from Datawrapper as I'm embarking on a 1-year sabbatical. That means I'll have some time for playing with exciting stuff and writing about it, like in the old days.

For my first blog post, I took a closer look at (the fantastic) @observablehq Plot: https://www.vis4.net/blog/2023/09/observable-plot-review

Next in the #LittleVis series we looked at a innovative way to rotate a chart’s orientation

⭐ New project out today:
https://storiesfromthenightsky.netlify.app/

The light from the #stars travels for years (and years) until it reaches your eyes. This #interactive #map of the night sky shows you for each star what happened on Earth when the light started traveling from the star to you. That way, any star has a story to tell you. You can zoom in, move around and hover all the stars to reveal the historical events they are connected to.

Built with #svelte #d3 and #sveltekit
