---

Thousands of points, counted into hexagons and raised as towers. Tilt it all the way down and it reads like a city of your data.

What it does

• Shapes: solid towers, stacked floors or cones
• Scales: linear, square root or log for big data
• Color: gray, an ink ramp or an accent ramp
• A seeded cloud to start with, or your own data as CSV or JSON
• Export: PNG, SVG and a JSON config

Run it

Open robvagin.github.io/hexbin, or download index.html and open it from your disk. It is the whole tool: no build step, no dependencies, no network. Press H to hide the panel.

Made by a designer

I'm a designer. I build small tools like this for my own work, with AI agents: I make the decisions, Claude Code writes the code. The panels follow one grammar across the whole set.

Take it if you want it.
