I like that this is also called "futuristic". This is the future if we projected it out in the 90s. (I think the popularity says something about the average age of HN users). However, if we had projected the future in the 80s or 70s or 00s, we would see different interfaces. Speaking of cyberpunk, I recommend the William Gibson short story Gernsback Continuum that explores this "projected future" concept in more deta…

And in particular, the protagonist of that short story who is so happy he lives in his grim and grotty but real cyberpunk future, instead of the sterile, facile utopia imagined by the retro-futurism aesthetic.

It's an interesting idea! You can learn a lot about a decade by studying what they thought their future would look like. And in the 90s we were definitely thinking it would involve neon translucency.

Glad to see this posted on Hacker News. I used this for our internal tool and the first time I showed it, almost the whole company were in awe. I made a kind of public version here if you're interested: https://scan-viewer.vercel.app/scans/1 Edit: Guess I should explain a bit more about this tool. Our main product is a handheld scanner that can take an individual’s body measurements while they are fully clothed. You…

What widgets are you using for the gauge and line graph? They integrate in well.

I use svg-gauge[1] and recharts[2]. I think any libs can do the job, you just need some css with cyan on black background

Posts like this make me feel envy because it's not available in >. People smarter than me seriously need to separate design with framework and make combining them more like changing clothes.

I started just using bootstrap css in the index.html and class names in react. Much less headache (at least in POC stage)

The feel of this interface is incredible. What's most interesting is that it evokes lots of memories from the games I played more than 20 years ago, and yet it is very distinct and doesn't copy any of them. Feels almost like something very familiar, but you can't quite grasp where you saw it. This is incredible and I'll be following this project, and probably will do something with this framework, too.

The sounds are very Starcraftian

Based on the positive responses here, I think I might be the only one who doesn't fancy decorations, whether it's sci-fi or in any form in user interface design - victorian ornamentation, steampunk brass, vaporware aesthetics, etc - they're all artistic endeavors - I think it's fun to explore these and even use them to achieve a particular objective, but I wonder how much of it influences serious designers whose resp…

I strongly agree.

My ideal for user interfaces would be something where the user can skin everything to look like they want it. For example, imagine the web browser version of winamp... a page has text, images, links, and that's it- the browser displays it according to your skin.

I'd love to learn more about the company and technology! Using radar is an interesting adaptation. Do you have a site?

Yes. Here is our website: https://bodidata.com
