i just followed @dev.orf.at, should that be enough, are they reliably announced there?

we have a design systems meetup?!

István Korompai @kpisti.com · 29/09/2026

I'd love to do that, but isn't it a privacy catastrophe?

István Korompai @kpisti.com · 08/09/2026

i think that's a fair take. i wonder if we can avoid it feeling like a pile-on when a critical mass of people feel this way and voice that opinion in a format not well suited to nuance

how do you square these two sentences with each other? "it's kinda lame to dunk on someone for making a lil hobby project with ai code" "if you're using ai to make lil hobby projects, [...] i think it makes you a little bit of a gobshite"

I adore the typography of the whole app, and this post-it metaphor is a great addition to the vibe

what system did you land on? we are prepping for a migration like this, and was considering shapes after reading the article

i could literally feel the little intellect i normally have returning to my head

István Korompai @kpisti.com · 25/06/2026

huh that's strange, I'll have to look into why dm-s are not working (I also cannot message you). just shot an email

István Korompai @kpisti.com · 25/06/2026

i have decent React experience and would love to help

István Korompai @kpisti.com · 23/06/2026

after your previous post, i was curious to see the responses and stumbled on that exact thread and i could not take my eyes off of it. it's been a while since i've read something where i could clearly follow each individual statement but fail to reconcile the different sentences with each other

István Korompai @kpisti.com · 20/06/2026

do you know if this is open to anyone, including npmx "stalkers" like myself?

imho the Coding Train videos are well prepped but the production aspect and editing is minimal. for theory-heavy topics, having a clear throughline is essential for me, even if the presenter does stumble every now and then with specifics

István Korompai @kpisti.com · 03/06/2025

im getting a 404 on the link

might be a stretch but paging @attilabatorfy.bsky.social as the first (second?) of the six degrees of separation

István Korompai @kpisti.com · 17/05/2025

i feel uneasy saying this, but they are visually spectacular

100

István Korompai @kpisti.com · 23/04/2025

so, this is the final form? I'd argue it's truly minimal, we even managed to remove any morsel of meaning from it

7 gray pixels, arranged in the correct heights to encode letter frequency as per the original article and graphic in this thread.

István Korompai @kpisti.com · 23/04/2025

I 'Um, Actually"-ed so hard, I got the math wrong... oh well

István Korompai @kpisti.com · 23/04/2025

if you're gonna argue with minimalism, which is simply The Right Way, you should do it without standing up a straw man. the optimal solution here is clearly using Braille for the column labels, which reduces the true data-ink ratio from a measly 1:45 (yours) to an impressive 1:24 (mine). </sarcasm>

25 gray pixels placed seemingly without any meaning on a white background. they resemble the last graphic from Frank's article, but the pixelated letters from the column labels are replaced with illegible Braille representations of those same letters. they are not recognizable as Braille since the feigned low resolution of the image makes them blend into shaped blocks, instead of recognizable braille cells with dots in them

where did you move to? 😮

István Korompai @kpisti.com · 15/04/2025

imho the issue is more that data professionals sit in central teams, instead of working closely with the people our craft is ought to make more productive. which, in turn, is understandable because we are a big overhead cost, that is - as you note- difficult to calculate returns on

i think the "commodification" of dashboards also plays a role in this devaluation. creating a new dashboard is becoming cheaper and cheaper in orgs, so their average value to users is also going down.

for our most recent project, our designer sent over a css file with all the colors as properties (11 tones each of about 7 hues). I worked a bit with them to clean up the system, basically bring it closer to how tailwind does their colors and finally converted them to SCSS vars

I'd say always the one you're most comfortable with! unless you want to learn while doing it, in which case the one that interests you most.

010

István Korompai @kpisti.com · 26/02/2025

i don't but i also think the changes have become a lot less predictable over the last couple years. many old heuristics like "it's cheapest x weeks before" don't seem true anymore.

I know the answer is prolly quite involved but... how does it work? Is it deterministic?

Data portrait tote bags from my first in-person workshop of the year! A creative and fun way to connect during Narrative Alchemy, the course I led. Truly a joy! #datavizworkshop #sketching #drawing #creativity
