Announcing OmniChart - A Morphing Chart Set
I needed 'the standard' chart types, pie chart, line chart, bar chart, spider plot, and decided to do them all in one.

Making artifacts, whilst building a toolbox.
Building open source artifacts - using small, composable pieces - and sharing how I'm using AI to get more done.
Code is on GitHub. Discussions on Discord.
I build small tools with AI assistance and write about the process. Announcements are artifacts ready to use. Spike solutions are work in progress.

Finding the box drawing

symbols and putting them together to make a tree pattern is fiddly and takes time - a perfect challenge for a small tool. Claude one-shotted it with a single prompt.
I didn't want to upload lots of different mp3 files. Instead I wanted to generate short simple sound effect client side. This is the result.
The LCARS user interface from Star Trek TNG actually has some desirable properties as a user interface.
AIs struggle with understanding shapes. Here I got Claude to make tags with the end shapes I wanted.
Cards are a fundamental part of the big diagram making code project I am working on. Here a spike solution begins to rework the card ideas, via a clicker-style Mars-base game.
This spike solution exploration is also part of exploring visual ways to track resource exchanges. The code co-produced with AI is a small step in progressing a card based dashboard.
