Szymon Kaliski's personal blog at szymonkaliski.com covers design and programming. Since 2017, 9 different Hacker News readers have linked it 10 times, most often “DAS-UI: Experimental domain-agnostic keyboard-based visual programming language”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-09-28, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Szymon Kaliski's minimal personal site as a design favourite, and a DIY pen plotter project page that a commenter's father liked for pen plot crispness.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
I'm an independent consultant, designing and developing computational interfaces.

HN discussionPost about pen plotter without video. Hmm, I feel cheated. Random video of old school pen plotter in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Cd3GsZlOBg My father still fondly talks about how the crispness of a true pen plot was never really matched by modern printers. Edit: he has them on a second page: https://szymonkaliski.com/projects/diy-pen-plotter Not as fast as the 1983 version though :)
