They're not really discussions without comments so just end up being links to nowhere.

Sadly people don’t seem to discuss hummingbirds on HN, yet they do post a lot about them.

Links to nowhere seems unfair, along with the downvote.

This site is amazing!

Hummingbirds are neat in and of themselves. The typography is pleasant, the illustrations nice, the interaction streamlined, and the layout and look & feel just right.

Take the time to explore the rest of the site and his projects. This is a rare breed of a designer who through execution breathes new life into something relatively mundane.

Yes, c82.net is great. I visit the Werner's Nomenclature of Colors page relatively frequently.

Bumble birds are amazing.

The "making of" process—generating random points and then using them to position the bird illustrations at each point—does not make a lot of sense to me. The final bird positions are nowhere near the random points.

A possibly better approach would be to use Bridson's algorithm with a radius that roughly corresponds to the size of each bird image. You could reject points that are outside the overall shape.

I was looking through it thinking "Wow this is beautiful, reminds me of that Euclid one I saw a while back". Nicholas has done it again. Man doesn't miss
