Hi, I’m Amelia Wattenberger I create things on the web, explore novel interfaces, turn data into meaning, and empower devs with AI. I'm currently a Principal Research Engineer exploring novel UIs + playing with ML on a tiny R&D team within GitHub. this site is WIP Go to the old one ↣ I'M THINKING ABOUT... Code was our medium for thought Our interfaces have lost their senses Fish eye for text LLMs as a tool for thought The internet for the mind Bridging the hard and the soft Putting knowledge in its place Evolving the infinite canvas Getting creative with embeddings Chatbots are not the future PREVIOUS WRITINGS Combining React and D3 Use the d3 force What does 100% mean in CSS?
