Odgovor korisniku/ci @atKeyur @emollick
Thanks Keyur! There’s a slight confusion here in that the design isn’t meant to correlate size with importance but with movement freedom (1 or >=2 squares). Have never played Bughouse but from what I gather, the design applies there too since pieces move in the same way. :)

Yes they are very similar but then again so is their movement pattern: one moves in straight lines, the other diagonally. The design is meant for digital chess btw: this similarity would be a big problem with physical pieces, a simple rotation would mix them!

An elegant little lesson in design & usability: How could we make chess pieces explain what they do, rather than requiring beginners to remember the ruleset? This design by has pieces that show you how they move, and how important they are by size.

Good catch, piece size is actually correlated to movement freedom and that only roughly correlates with importance. The lines are either 1-square-long or 2-squares for moves or 2 or more squares. That makes the exceptional ♚ king a small omnidirectional star with 1-square arms.

Here's how I track a habit like 🏊‍♂️🏋️‍♂️ exercise or 🎹music practice: if I do it at least 3 times per week, I've sustained the habit & my weekly streak is unbroken. It's a nice mix of flexibility, minimum & motivation that works for me. My longest 2019 streak was 17 weeks!

I hope blockchain emerges from the hype/scam pit to become the scene most open to radical technosocial experiments. , born out of a collab along those lines between & , will have its 2nd conf June 18-20 in SĂŁo Paulo!

William Godwin’s Political Justice/1793 is fantastical scientific philosophy. It inspired the best such book yet, ’s Beginning of Infinity/2011. Mary Shelley, Godwin’s daughter, cristallized modern sci-fi with Frankenstein/1818, philosophical scientific fantasy.

5 years ago I also made a comic/collage about the 5 things I was most passionate about: online communities, learning, interface culture, documents & counters. The references are now a bit dated but each facet has only grown richer with time. It remains a map of my heart & mind.

Here’s some more of his work. Follow him here on Twitter or Instagram: It has me seeing panels everywhere I look!

l love the fourth-wall breaking of ! His panel-breaking feels native to comics: a playful bending of both time (sequence) AND space (layout, perspective). Such meta games often mess with causality but he’s all about shifts in perception & POV. cc

Search in is subpar! Only 3 months ago with version 1.7 are search results sorted per title and then per body text. On iOS there’s no search within a note! I still love Bear but much-awaited v1.7 has added formatting instabilities & very old bugs remain unfixed.

Most of what I do in Bear is keep a journal. Each week I manually make 3 (linked) notes: a day-log for events & daily living, a thought-log for musings, a work-log for project notes. I also keep tracker notes for areas of focus like sleep, exercise, piano or cooking.

I used to think of images as wasteful but they're such a rich, portable, instant way to preserve context! With Bear it's finally easy, fast & useful enough to have images in my journaling: I just drag or copy/paste them & don't have to worry about naming, filing or layout.

It’s not my design :) It just came up in my research. I actually found many variations of that particular chart so I don’t even know if the originator is known. Such creativity out there! Like the sunray monthly mood tracker (of which I also found many variations).

Beautiful! I love how the “mechanical” parts of the AND are so stylized as to be almost abstract notation but still manage to be self-explanatory & intuitive through clever motion design. What if more notation had motion?

The movement, enabled by dot-gridded notebooks (!), seems to me about drawing your own interface & dashboard. Coming up with the representations that work best for you, sharing them, redoing them to internalize & evolve them. Not a bad inspiration for UI’s future!

Back in another life I went deep into note-taking inside Vim and created my own personal syntax with crazy amounts of highlighting & concealing. It evolved for almost a decade but I moved to Bear last year to play with different ideas (like embedded images!).

Have you seen Vim’s concealing? It’s another take on WYSIWYG. It allows you to hide text unless you’re currently editing that line. I used it to hide JSON’s verbose quoting when reading but have it at the ready when editing:
