๐ HELLO ALL! ๐
I have made a #Hellthread visualiser! ๐
Use it on any toot!

How the hell has something I've made gotten over 50 boosts?! My most celebrated professional work on Twitter doesn't even get those kinds of numbers! ๐๐๐๐
@andi This is incredible, FINALLY a way to view my pain in an aesthetically pleasing way!
@starwall I'm just happy to have finally found a good use for ObservableHq ๐
@andi You have done a great service today. Lemme find the original Welcome to Mastodon hellthread...
@starwall Ooooh YES PLEASE!!!! ๐๐๐
@andi FOUND IT, it took a google search but I found it. https://radical.town/@starwall/101014720401270877
@starwall Hmmm! Yeah, I think the style the visualiser uses tends to be emphasis quantity of toots over number of people in them. I should do something like size nodes based on number of participants...
@andi admittedly, Hellthread 2 was way bigger.
@andi this is so cool!
@ponfarr Thank you!!! ๐ TBTH the hard part was more figuring out Mastodon's API than visualising the thing!
Feel free to fork it and try other D3 hierarchical layouts! Should be a way to get most of the ones in here running: https://github.com/d3/d3-hierarchy
@Quixote171 @starwall INDEED! ๐ (and thanks!)
(But mainly because I'm about to head to drinks and my mobile's dead ๐ )
@andi @Quixote171 You are a genius for this. A genius and a saint. Thank you again, this is epic.
@starwall @andi
And you can kinda watch it spider in real-time. This is awesome.
Hey, @Slipperywerm - check this out.
@Quixote171 @andi @Slipperywerm oh no, wait a second
@Quixote171 @starwall Thanks! Glad you like it!! ๐
@starwall @Quixote171 Thus far my best use of workplace 10% time ngl ๐
@ben @andi @Quixote171 this one is even more satisfying.
@ben @andi @Quixote171 here's @bryn's self-hellthread (https://radical.town/web/statuses/101060552212064380)
@ben @andi @Quixote171 @bryn and here's @nuttgodd's very interesting TL thread
@starwall @andi @Quixote171 @bryn @nuttgodd I mean, I *guess* you could call it a timeline thread.
@carbontwelve @starwall @Slipperywerm@radical.town Thank you! ๐๐
@andi this post and gift to all of us and was my favorite thing on mastodon 2018, ty andi ๐
shame that the original post is somehow ruined, it only exists in screenshots now.
@starwall Yeah I'm really curious why it did that. Someone deleted a post or something? The knzkpocalypse?
Anyway, over the moon that you like it, I get out all my code art angst on here and it's absolutely beautiful when something connects. ๐๐๐
@starwall Comparatively, this is what @CyclopsCaveman's thread looks like. Notice the clown penis tangent...
