So MapClassic does run on macOS 9 through 68k emulation. No color icons it seems, so I'll look into that.

v1 will release without color in the maps though. I'll see what to do and whether it's realistic to maintain both a CodeWarrior project and a THINK C project. I still want to primarly develop it on the SE/30.

A screenshot of MapClassic running on MacOS 9. The window shows completely in black and white, with a pane on the left with the contents of the map, and a pane on the right showing the rendered map.

there's still some work left to do, but MapClassic is pretty usable. I expect a 1.0 release this month. Still need to test system 6, performance, and add color icons.

Last screenshot is the same map rendered by the modern Map renderer. The placements are a bit different because of the font sizes, but otherwise pretty much the same.

A screenshot of system 7 running MapClassic. The window shows a map called maturity.wmap with the text on the left pane, and the right pane showing a live preview. The toolbar on the right pane has a dropdown for different stages of evolution, and buttons to increase and decrease zoom.

Map for Linux is now available on Flathub!

For your Linux wardley mapping needs.

Fun day with THINK C! Map will be one of the first apps to release a 68k version *after* the apple silicon version.

I'm surprised that the C parser and QuickDraw renderer actually run fast enough on the SE/30.

There's still a bunch of cosmetic improvements to the renderer, and *a lot* of basic things (a menu, keyboard shortcuts, working scrollbar arrows). But It's nice to see the parser running.

A screenshot of a mac window running on system 7. The window’s title bar says “Map”

The left pane is a text field with wmap notation describing a map. The right hand pane shows the rendered map in black and white.

Actually making progress on map for linux. I picked up the original codebase and used wmap-parser-rust and wmap-renderer-rust!

It'll take a bit to get feature parity, but a working first version might come in a few days :D

A screenshot of a GTK4 app called Map. It has a toolbar that has on the left: a plus sign, a rectangle with a vertical line dividing it; on the center the title "Map"; on the right hand side a button that is an image, and a dropdown that says "User Perception".

The main window has two panes, on the left side is the source code of a wardley map. On the right hand side is the rendered wardley map.

The window has a toolbar at the bottom with a slider for zoom.

wiki-plugin-wmap is now available!

A plugin for federated wiki that allows you to render wardley maps from wmap syntax.

You can check it out here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/wiki-plugin-wmap

* example:: https://wiki.r.bdr.sh/view/welcome-visitors/view/about-wmap-plugin
* fedwiki: http://fed.wiki.org/view/welcome-visitors
* wmap syntax: https://map.tranquil.systems/wmap-language/

#wiki #fedwiki #wardleymapping #wardleymaps

A screenshot of a page from a federated wiki. The title reads “About Wmap Plugin”. The first paragraph reads: “This plugin renders wardley maps formatted in the wmap language using wmap-parser-js and wmap-renderer-canvas”.

Below that, an image shows a small rendered image of a wardley map, with the text not legible due to its size.

Pretty happy to reach this point for the wmap #fedwiki plugin.

It took a while to understand the plugin format, but I think wiki-plugin-markdown and wiki-plugin-graphviz werevery helpful.

I'll have to go through my code again and simplify, as I included a lot of things I didn't actually understand.

Now available: version 4.3.0 of Map, the wardley map app for macOS!

- New: Now with iCloud Drive collaboration support
- Under the hood: It now uses a new parser + a tree-sitter based syntax highlighter.

I finally decided to write to make me feel like my quivering existence isn't merely job search anxiety. So what started as a simple book review sorta took on a life of its own!

Since @adrianco turned me on to Architecture for Flow by @suksr, I have been simmering with thoughts about it. I finished it last month and it has shaped what I've answered during interview questions.

But not only that, Susanne has created a great stepping-off point for me to talk about how to treat Incident Management in the context of achieving Architecture for Flow:

I was getting a little annoyed that I had to keep using VSCode to use the WardleyMaps plugin ... until I learned there is now an Obsidian plugin!!

So to give it a shot I made a WM of my observability thingy, Monteverdi, to begin to map out the user needs and get the product out of my brain a little bit onto something else besides the code.

From discussion during the end of day panel @cyberlyra pointed out that organizational design is the underlying, un-acknowledged piece that we all have to work on and learn about.

I enthusiastically agree! My label for the design we are learning is Networked Orgs https://bmannconsulting.com/notes/networkedorgs/

Links in there to more writing including Simon Wardley’s work.

The #WardleyMaps basis is bespoke to utility tech & the orgdesign each stage needs
