Start using Figma today

[r002]

Wednesday

Started using Figma today! By chance, I also discovered that the amazing Amelia Wattenberger is also creating some kind of Repo Visualizer project. I haven't run her project yet but it apparently generates an SVG from your repo. (I'm guessing it does something similar to the Skyline project, but with trees?) I am working on issues visualization so it may be related! 😄

My project is similar to Amelia's (I think) but the number of CSS poly-art trees/huts/clouds/mountains are generated by the cards you create! 🥳 And over time, you'll work together with your study group (up to four people, max) to create a scene. And the scene changes every month. (This idea was also inspired by the different cool Windows 10 lock screens I see every morning!) We work hard every day to contribute our cards-- the least we can get is a nice visualization! 🎉

Today's Progress

Mockup of the new GUI redesign (with today's data) in Figma:

Next Steps

• Figure out where to put all of the Streak Counter meta-information. Tucked away in a hover-menu?
  
• Figure out where to put the Countdown Clock
  
• Move all html/css code to studydash/studydash.github.io
  • Move existing index.html into /docs
  • Set up a dev harness for the new GUI; load all mock production data from a static .json file
