An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 19/05/2026i thought a local whky team might be the thing that gets me back into hockey at least somewhat, but frankly i didn't expect it to happen for a long while and am now pleasantly surprised the colors also seem particularly auspicious 190

An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 16/12/2025meaningless thought: if u measure performance using three stats (for hockey: offense, defense, special teams ig???). you could encode that as an rgb value. oh yeah that player's going through a huge offensivenslump from #a0376f to #843c75 1130

It is very much inspired by @nguyenank.bsky.social's shot-plotter. I built a floorball version mostly for personal use, but figured a hockey version would be interesting to other people as well. sports-tagging.netlify.app/hockey/sports-tagging.netlify.appHockey Shot Plotter 163

An Nguyen @nguyenank.bsky.social · 26/01/2025for reference, this is what i have of my initial #playplotter experiments, plus some tweaks. it was suggested to me as akin to a digital whiteboard geared towards coaches, i privately think of it as sports-flavored powerpoint, its is probably actually best described as sports-flavored photoshop/gimp 091
