Finished my root system #generative #embroidery experiment. Made by starting with a full thread, splitting into 2, then again into 3. Decided to add a second grey layer under the white to give it some depth. Pretty happy with this. :)

This is an excellent story by alvin chang about the impact of adverse childhood experiences.

After introducing the main character, Alex, the simulation has both a marker and an animation delay to help you keep track of the him throughout the story.

Very nicely done:

Rare that these experiments come out "just right", but I'm really happy with the #hitomezashi stitching here. The #crossstitch material keeping me neat. Next, to add another colour and see if i can work around that inner circle... I realise I seem to be accidentally making an elaborate death star, but that wasn't the idea! 😅

Drum roll please! 🥁

We're excited to announce the 3 members of our inaugural Cohort: Ahmed Bendaly, Vivian Li, and Andrew Park. Let's show them some love!

Text on a black background that reads: “Ahmed Bendaly is a data scientist by profession, a visual designer by passion, and a statistics nerd by confession.” Plus a black and white photo of Ahmed.
Text on a black background that reads: “Vivian Li is journalist and design engineer studying at USC’s Iovine and Young Academy.” Plus a black and white photo of Vivian.
Text on a black background that reads: “Andrew is a student at Columbia University. He once scored two points in an intramural basketball game.” Plus a black and white photo of Andrew.

Does anyone have any tips for resources that discuss how to 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲? (for dataviz, esp. in D3)

I am interested in creating shapes like leaves, waves, sea shells, bushes, etc. programmatically. I've seen stuff for Illustrator but not for code.

Thanks 🙏

Du Bois Data Visualization Society Challenge - Week 7/10: My recreation of Du Bois' poster no.47, done with D3 & Svelte. Again I tried to recreate it as close to the original as possible, make it responsive and added a pattern fill to match the hand-painted look.

It's my birthday today (🥳) and I got a brilliant A4 press by @pookipresses. I love it. Did a very quick test print of these little particle polaroids and they are already 100% better than doing them by hand. Still need to master inking & pressure, but very promising!! #pookieclub #pookiepresses #linocut

I took my side-project too seriously and ended up with the biggest analysis of title drops in movies:

In the last few days I finally took the time to finish a small project that I started and never finished. It is called "Wie viel wasser?". You can find it here: https://xyz.francescamorini.com/wie-viel-wasser/

For my #svelte ❤️ #d3 people out there:

Matthias Stahl started a beginner friendly video series, where he goes through nice little mini-projects and explains how to make responsive #dataviz with the perfect combo of svelte and d3 :)

Start here:

So far there are 6 videos with more on the way 🚀

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.

A gif that shows the screenrecording of quickly skimming through a blog post while sometimes stopping to toggle interactive elements.

⭐ 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

Fantastic news for the #svelte + #d3 #dataviz world:

There is now a comprehensive beginner friendly course:

There is something magic about the sound of Vibraphones that always gets me.

I just ported over this classic #choropleth map from pure #d3 to a #svelte version.

This time, I learned a lot while creating a custom legend component that is tucked right above the #map.

Play with the code here:

Finally being able to merge together two data sources after a long long data wrangling process feels sooooo satisfying.

I must admit. I was dancing.

Now I can move on to the visualization part of the project!

Finally!

Looking forward to sharing this data driven visual experiment soon :)

I love the #dataSonification project by @duncangeere Duncan Geere & Miriam Quick.

It's aptly called Loud Numbers and you can learn all about it here:
https://www.loudnumbers.net/

In particular, I love the sweet and short podcast episodes they have produced about some of their sonifications: https://www.loudnumbers.net/podcast

I finally pushed myself and published my personal website:

https://sebastianlammers.com/

It's where I experiment with all things web, like #html #css #javascript esp. #svelte and #svg most often in the context of #dataviz or similar forms of visual storytelling.

I have also put my first blog post up, where I share some notes on #dataWrangling in javascript:
https://sebastianlammers.com/posts/data-in-js-00

It's a multipart post aimed to be very beginner friendly.

Enjoy!

seblammers, 1 year ago to programming

Big announcement: I'm releasing my first ever #webdev project today!

It's aimed at my beloved #dataviz community, esp. those eager to learn about the awesome combination of #svelte and #d3

Check out this collection of awesome real world projects sourced from the community:
https://awesome-svelte-and-d3.netlify.app/

In addition to the projects, I started collecting #tutorials that focus on the combination of #svelte and #d3

I'm sure the list is not complete, so send your links my way and I'll include them!
