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. :) pic.twitter.com/7KHMK9fx3Z

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 @elzr has pieces that show you how they move, and how important they are by size. elzr.com/blag/chess-pie… pic.twitter.com/VitcVVM54B

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. pic.twitter.com/VnmaJEYxVK

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! pic.twitter.com/pas0mY1N0y

I hope blockchain emerges from the hype/scam pit to become the scene most open to radical technosocial experiments.
@RadxChange, born out of a collab along those lines between @glenweyl & @VitalikButerin, 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, @DavidDeutschOxf’s Beginning of Infinity/2011.
Mary Shelley, Godwin’s daughter, cristallized modern sci-fi with Frankenstein/1818, philosophical scientific fantasy. pic.twitter.com/Rq6iBzkdlm

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. twitter.com/elzr/status/11… pic.twitter.com/4j8u1l5FNN

l love the fourth-wall breaking of @Millosketch! 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.

Search in @BearNotesApp 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. pic.twitter.com/zh7JEv1JVR

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. pic.twitter.com/X32Nk8mLIP

It’s not my design :) It just came up in my #bujo 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). pic.twitter.com/6TA2zYG68l

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 #bulletjournal 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! pic.twitter.com/mvNCzWYk3D

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!). pic.twitter.com/2KZX4Onsja

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: github.com/elzr/vim-json pic.twitter.com/5taIX3BkAf
