Visual Design And Documentaries
Color palette and separation of concerns
I adjusted the color palette, and I chose this one for now. At least the application is somewhat readable (every color was 50% transparent before).
Also moved view models to a new project. It did wonders for writing both view models and views, because it means I have to keep them independent of one another; ViewModels are unaware of the view, while the view only relies on the contract (interface) that’s in Plapp.Core.
For charts I’m using Microcharts. It was easy to get going, and we’ll see how it performs, and how adjustable it is to my needs.
Adam Curtis just released a new documentary series
