Nice slides on building up a design system. The specific examples like this one are really helpful for thinking about how they play out.

Productivity.

We carved pumpkins at work.

It took me most of today to get these images working and now I'm not sure I like them.

Some progress made. Highlighting helps show there is some structure to the hairball.

De-hairballing strategies have been ineffective so far.

Switching the link drawing over to canvas.

I hung a curtain in the middle of my room.

Perfect.

Too many movies.

I refactored and changed data sources.

Highlight everything!

Sidebar styled.

This is a bug, but graph nodes on top of the sidebar is a good aesthetic.

I got rid of all the colors.

With Micha's help I got better results, but stepping back I think this was the wrong approach. Mostly because the distance between hues does not necessarily line up with what you perceive as a different hue. Which I kind of knew, but now I really understand the limits of.

Working on setting up a color scheme algorithm that gets me the 'most different' color each time I add a color. This is working for individual (hue, saturation, lightness) values within the ranges I set, but I guess because there is a periodicity to how I am setting each of those values it's not giving the results I hoped for. So I'm going to try and figure out a fix.
