| description | Draft a LinkedIn post announcing the latest data-viz additions to dataviz-inspiration.com, and stage the highlighted projects' images in public/linkedin/. Use when the user wants to share the last batch of new gallery entries on LinkedIn. |
Prepare a LinkedIn post for the latest additions
Turn the most recently added VizItems in util/viz-list.ts into a ready-to-paste LinkedIn
post, and copy the highlighted projects' images into public/linkedin/ so the user can attach
them in a couple of clicks.
Inputs you need
- The batch of new entries (to count them) — detect from git (see step 1).
- Which projects to highlight — the user names a few (by title fragment); each becomes a
numbered line in the post. If the user hasn't said yet, ask.
Data source
- Entries live in
util/viz-list.ts → export const vizList: VizItem[]. Each VizItem has
id, title, author, url, img:{ full, zoom, chartId[] }, chartDescription, ....
- Images live in
public/img/. The full file is the nice full graphic to attach.
Post format (match this EXACTLY)
🚚 New load of great charts
Or dataviz inspiration is growing!
I've just added <N> new projects to dataviz-inspiration.com 🎉
1️⃣ <one-line editorial hook for highlight 1>
2️⃣ <one-line editorial hook for highlight 2>
3️⃣ <one-line editorial hook for highlight 3>
- Number emojis:
1️⃣ 2️⃣ 3️⃣ 4️⃣ 5️⃣ 6️⃣ 7️⃣ 8️⃣ 9️⃣ 🔟.
- Each highlight hook reads like: "An insightful lollipop chart by The Economist, about the
war in Iran." →
<a/an> <adjective> <chart type> chart by <author>, <about / topic>.
Draw the chart type from img.chartId, the author from author, and the topic/angle from
the entry's title + chartDescription (and any extra hint the user gives). Keep it to one
punchy line, English, no period-heavy rambling.
- Keep a blank line between each numbered item (LinkedIn renders that nicely).
- Optionally end with a soft CTA line (e.g.
👉 Browse them all on dataviz-inspiration.com).
Offer it; don't force it.
Procedure
-
Detect the batch & count N. New entries are normally uncommitted in the working tree.
- Uncommitted additions:
git diff -U0 -- util/viz-list.ts | grep -E "^\+\s+(id:|title:)"
- If that's empty, they're already committed — look at the most recent entry-adding
commit(s):
git log --oneline -10 -- util/viz-list.ts, then
git show <sha> -- util/viz-list.ts | grep -E "^\+\s+id:".
- Count the new
id: lines → that's N. Show the user the list of new titles and the
count, and confirm before writing the post (the batch boundary is a judgment call —
don't guess silently).
-
Resolve the highlights. For each name the user gave, grep -n the title in
util/viz-list.ts, read that entry's block, and pull author, img.chartId, img.full,
and skim chartDescription for the angle. A highlighted project does not have to be in
the new batch, but usually is.
-
Draft the hooks & assemble the post using the template above. Put highlights in the
order the user listed them. Output the full post in a single copy-pasteable block.
-
Stage the images. Copy each highlighted project's full image into public/linkedin/,
prefixed with its highlight number so the order is obvious:
- Create the folder if missing:
mkdir -p public/linkedin.
- Clear it first so it only holds the current post's images:
rm -f public/linkedin/* (it's a disposable staging folder — safe to wipe).
- Copy:
cp public/img/<full> public/linkedin/<n>-<full> (e.g. 1-economist-iran-lollipop.png).
- Confirm the files landed (
ls public/linkedin/).
-
Wrap up. Show the final post text and the list of staged image files (with their numbers),
so the user can paste the text and drag the images straight into LinkedIn.
Notes
public/linkedin/ is a scratch/staging folder for the current post only — wiping it each
run is intended.- Don't invent facts about a project; base hooks on the entry's real
author, chartId, and
chartDescription. The user can give an extra angle ("about the war in Iran") — weave it in.
- Everything in English even if the underlying viz is in another language.
