Over Christmas, I developed a tool called Graphium. It’s a digital tabletop battlemap for TTRPG games: no accounts, no cloud, no subscriptions.

Fair warning: this project is raw. There are bugs, but I’ve established a good rhythm in tracking them down as I start working on the UI.

Here’s a neat new feature in our big redesign — focus mode. It filters the layer list to show only the layers you’ve selected, their container(s) and any siblings. If you’ve got a busy canvas, this is going to stop you scrolling for miles in the Layer List.

Alright, we’ve been teasing long enough.

Our next release — Copenhagen — is now in Beta. It’s got a fresh look for macOS Tahoe, an all-new inspector, a cleaner and more focused layer list, wrap for stacks, and so much more.

Go get it, test it, give us your feedback! skt.ch/beta

I feel like I missed an important update, but is anyone else seeing Figma intelligently auto completing labels and such in your components?

And deleted dribbble today. That felt weird, I remember being so proud to be an early user back in the day.

They stopped for you?!

👀 weirdly I was actually looking for something like this today

I know the hard copy version would cost money to print and ship, so I understand why it would be rare.

It’s just a lot harder to ignore a thousand letters than it is to ignore phone or email.

I’ve been thinking about this since 2016: how challenging would it be to establish a print-on-demand pipeline that, upon entering your real name and address with a short message, sends a postcard to your chosen representative?

There has to be a catch right?

They both nail the “picking up a random item in the back of a Walmart parking lot wondering why you agreed to show up” vibes

Same…same 😭

I’m sad.

Dataviz accessibility principles, demonstrated by the 2024 presidential election dashboards. by Sarah L. Fossheim I tested how well different election dashboards implemented common dataviz accessibility princples, and explained where things went wrong (including lots of demos).

WOAH! @fossheim.bsky.social has just published the single-best piece I've *ever* seen on how to apply principles of accessibility to data visualization. My jaw is on the floor.

Seriously, if you only ever read a single thing for accessible visualization, let it be this:

Marketing for most AI products currently feels like an exquisitely, canned manifestation of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
