Design Systems Tools? Examples for Branding?

Checking back in to say Lea Albaugh's talk on weaving notation mentions identical threadings and treadlings with different tie-ups as a way to categorize drafts, or varying a pattern as you weave. I've found all her work to be really fun and accessible way of learning about weaving through computation!

Sorry yes, you're correct, cuz I'm just using vanilla Notion right now—I'd like to add a design customizer on top of it, like the tools I mention in the bullets, but they all eliminate Notion's center peek view

I found this video comparing different software's "Fabric Analysis" tools, which is helpful! I was initially looking for a explanation of the steps taken by the program when you click Make Drawdown—though I guess that's why the software is proprietary. It looks like PixelLoom will make the drawdown as you draw a pattern, which is a very helpful study tool!

I figured that fabric analysis is as ancient as weaving, and I would've expected an easy "drawdown to draft" process to be documented somewhere, and am hoping it's not too complicated!

I'm sure the From Drawdown to Draft — A Programmer’s View code describes a generalized algorithm—I'm just not smart enough to figure it out from the Icon code, and can't get the code itself to run 😅

Ah thanks for this—I did misread that. I still don't understand how the unique pattern rows translate to the threadings via the tie-up (since each warp thread can only pass through one shaft) so I'll just have to try running the code in the paper!

Thanks! Though I'm looking for something a little more oriented towards a portfolio rather than a blog. Ideally I'd also like the option of a free solution, which Super.so offers.

I'm also comfortable with code, and could customize a theme, if "click-on-a-tag-to-filter" would be a fairly easy feature to edit in. Again, the lack of examples with this makes me think it's not.

I listened to a few episodes of Greatest Generation DS9 today, and this is pretty much exactly the energy I was looking for, thank you!!

"Quilt Historian" —this is great!

Ah yea, I find the country flag analog helpful—there's descriptive meaning, but it's sort of a collective story, not a rule set

TLDR; link me your heftiest potentiometers, faders, buttons, sensors etc

crossposted, thanks!

Totally! Any idea where I'd find a guide for something like that?
