Fitted For But Not With. Nav Nerd. I build mappy and internetty bits for floaty things

@usgraphics Similar levels of obsession; the entire CryptoMuseum website is amazing; too many examples to list but this page on Telex has some beautiful diagrams https://t.co/cQt41uQZF5

Not as polished but the PRC68 website is another similar gem https://t.co/Zu9LApZuO5

@usgraphics Amazing, looking forward to both; btw any plabs to release Los Alamos Mono or Chicago Rapidtype?

I loved it when we had UI like this, distinct, discoverable, ordered. (Lightwave 3D).

[Matt @MattShawPhoto]

Critical software doesn’t confirm to design trends, doesn’t obscure utility with excess whitespace or ambiguous UI elements.

Quoted tweet via @usgraphics - Their Berkeley Mono type face would look awesome here

A good rule of thumb:

When your software becomes critical enough, the important metrics get boxed in. Quicker to scan, immediate retinal focus.

There’s no ICU monitoring interface or airplane cockpit dashboard without boxed critical metrics.

— BOX IT IN

@orbatmapper @RoyalNavy @spatialillusion Worth a visit; some very interesting kit looked after by dedicated and knowledgeable people; I’m not sure if they open to the public normally but they do on the @HMS_Collingwood open day/Field Gun competition. Lots of other fun kit to play with too

I loved this film growing up, chapeau on preserving an amazing piece of movie history.

The only thing that could top this is buying the set used used for the interiors…one ping only if you can hook me up

@AWenham1 @NavyLookout @WarshipCam @WarshipsIFR @warshipworld @HMS_Collingwood I see your four five and raise you a pair of CIWS

@spatialillusion @EugenPinak This is what I was thinking of but couldn’t remember exactly 😉

[Matt @MattShawPhoto]

@spatialillusion @EugenPinak Now that I have some more time after a busy year last year I’d be more than happy to contribute some PRs - been trying to get momentum up on some my projects too.

@EugenPinak @spatialillusion Certainly if you mean the Unit Symbol Generator but the underlying library is can be extended for custom symbols https://t.co/Sc3ay3HAVa

@JaguarXX764 Absolutely amazing. Makes me want to get my Tornado MFD up and working.
