I've always loved the aesthetics of #spiral staircases (see nl.pinterest.com/janwillemtul...). So I thought, why not build a spiral staircase generator. You can generate and tweak many parameters to create beautiful images. Try it: tulpinteractive.com/spiral-stair... #stairs #aesthetics #3D

Can't take a loss at #Wordfeud? I quickly built a Wordfeud Cheater that gives you the best scoring words. Play against the computer, or play a game in parallel while you're playing against a real human, but now you can cheat! 😂 #sideproject Try it: tulpinteractive.com/wordfeud-che...

In #Timebender you can simply limit the number of hours you want to work on a project, per day or per week, and it will simply take that into account when scheduling your work! I'm building timebender.io #productivity #scheduling
In #Timebender you can select any period, and see how much is scheduled. But Timebender does more: it also shows you if things are rearranged, your scheduled pushed to the max within it's limits, how much time you could free up! #productivity #scheduling I'm building timebender.io
Do you have recurring activities, like spending time on your administration weekly? #Timebender easily let's you create recurring time reservations, and it schedules them automatically. I'm building timebender.io #productivity #scheduling

After testing 100s of imgs comparing tiny and big changes to the algo: I am now confident to present to you: The new okpalette.color.pizza. Powerful as before, ~40% faster, better at detecting good presets and much better at finding rare colors! Test it with your pics and let me know what you think
#Timebender let's you easily import Google Calendar events, so that Timebender knows if an event belongs to a project, only affects your availability or can be ignored. An accurate schedule, always. Quick and easy! timebender.io #productivity #scheduling
Browsing through Sandra Rendgen's #infographics book Understanding the World, and delighted to encounter my own contribution of a piece I did in 2013 for @popsci.com

There's a 10% chance that Rowboat will kill us all before the end of the decade. Until then, I hope you'll find it's drastically faster, more accurate, less expensive, and more fun than using an LLM to play with large datasets. Our latest: buttondown.com/rowboat/arch... Give it a try: rowboat.net
Excellent #dataviz community @bsky.app #starter-pack go.bsky.app/R3nSyyy by @chezvoila.com Follow the best in the world and share!

Wow... stowaway.live shows airplaines currently above you, and you can embark them as a digital stowaway and look at your house from above. Realtime weather integration too. Very cool project!!

I kept losing track of my own capacity across projects — every tool either organized my tasks or my time, never both. So I built #Timebender: a visual planner that knows what you can actually fit before you say yes. timebender.io #scheduling #productivity

I worked many times with Jen, and it's always such a pleasure to work with her. She's truly one of the best there is!! Just sayin'...
In late June, Springer Nature sold Scientific American to LabX Media. I have since decided to step out of my role as a senior graphics editor for the magazine :: #sciart 📊 🧪 :: 🧵 [1/7]
I am honoured and excited that tomorrow I will teach my very first pilot workshop #frameshift #design at the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) www.rivm.nl/en#2 .

Mike Bostock's first data viz library ran on three 1x1 pixel GIFs and raw HTML tables. It kind of made a bar chart. He went on to build D3. Listen now on Spotify (open.spotify.com/episode/01BJ...) and Apple Podcasts (podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...).
Wow, great project! Nice map! Fascinating topic! Congrats Moritz!
✨ New project! ✨ Mapping the hidden infrastructure which connects to >70% of plants, extends root networks up to 100x and reaches a length of 1 BILLION times the distance to the sun 🤯 Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi! Learn all about them here: a-hidden-infrastructure.spun.earth w/ @spun.earth 💚

Data carries the facts. A good chart unlocks the meaning 📈 Fresh examples that pulled us in lately and we believe will do the same for you: ▸ Polymarket winners/losers ▸ English similes ▸ Big Tech lobby in 🇩🇪 ▸ Global progress New #DataViz Weekly ↴ www.anychart.com/blog/2026/05...

Replying to @maartenzam.bsky.social
Building the Atlas was a huge team effort, with @tulpinteractive.com, @laesser.bsky.social, @aendra.com and @al-ice-t.bsky.social as dev dream team. I made the visualizations for 6 of the 13 chapters, and took over the architectural part of the Atlas from @do.minik.us halfway through 2/n

I designed and built visualizations for two stories in the World Bank's Atlas of Global Development 2026 — on education and urbanization. More stories from @maartenzam.bsky.social, @tulpinteractive.com and @aendra.com. 🔗 data360.worldbank.org/en/atlas #DataVisualization #WorldBank

Last week I had the honour of giving the keynote speech for the last day of #VIZBI (visualizing biology) in Cambridge, UK. The topic of my talk was "Seeing things differently" in which I showed and explained various concepts of #frameshift design. vizbi.org/Videos/57391... (you must register/pay)

Just realized it's been almost a year since my (non-)declaration of indie dataviz crisis truth-and-beauty.net/texts/crisis... — what do we all think a year on? Have things improved?

12½ years ago, I made a map of all the buildings in the Netherlands. Unexpectedly, people loved it! Ever since, I have been wanting to make an updated version of the map. Newer data, higher resolution, more interactive! I never got around to it, until last week: bertspaan.nl/buildings
