☑️ A* routing, MTA colors, sockets, draggable blocks
todo: edge directions, labels, resizable blocks, edges avoiding edges, custom waypoints, rounded corners
starting to take shape, integrated the official MTA line colors for lines today. still many many things to do 😂 🚇
look, a* routing! it took me like maybe 6 hours to get all the other concepts right and then a half hour to implement routing. everything is always data structures
little post about color dithering, also test-run of using webc for interactive embeds for blog posts https://macwright.com/2026/02/22/color-dithering
here's the plan: we publish a critical piece on the new book about meta and then wait until it's already made the rounds to make a very important tweak to the title…
the process of looking through backlinks to my site is a grim reminder of my last name's utter unspellability
shipped a new feature on https://placemark.io/ that i've had on the list for 3+ years: drawing with automatic routing.
represents routes as geometrycollections of points + a linestring.
currently uses the mapbox directions api.
very beta - there's some tricky logic around control points that i'l need to get right.
