I turned an infographics standard into an open-source book

In plain words

This is an open-source book that documents an infographics standard. Launched in 2021, it makes a previously proprietary standard accessible to developers and designers working with infographics. The project converts technical specifications into an openly available resource, allowing anyone to reference, contribute to, and build upon the standard without licensing restrictions.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
