⚙️ Visual WebAssembly 💡 Thoughts on Interfaces ⚛️ Quantum Computing Programming in VR 🧠 Software for your 2nd Brain

Two Minute Week

🎥 New Feature: Join Card via Mariano Guerra

🧵 conversation

New card to join columns from two tables when they share the same value on a column.

🧵 conversation

Hi, finally I got around to making the video that I wanted to make for some time.. here I'll show the progress I made on the visual webassembly compiler. Basically this is a side project of a side project.. because the visual webassembly compiler uses the flowrunner-canvas project and extends it with webassembly compilation and visualizations. Enjoy!

Our Work

📝 Some Thoughts on Interfaces via Nick Arner

🧵 conversation

Wrote something I think may resonate with folks here

via Ivan Reese

🧵 conversation

New (nicely illustrated) post from Nick Arner

The way we’ve interacted with computers has evolved considerably - from the early days of punch cards fed into a giant, room sized machine to the command line interface, to the Graphical User Interface developed at PARC (and subsequently popularized by Apple, and eventually Microsoft), to multitouch-based smartphones, to emerging computing paradigms like Augmented-Reality, Virtual-Reality, and ubiquitous computing.

Seems like a good summary of the conceptual space of UI design, including stuff like latency.

Lisperanto - in browser structured editor and version control (in a future)

hi, this project is still under development, currently it have basic algebraic primitives and possibility to create own functions, it is local-first and statically-hosted,

in a future all operations on AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) will be stored in order to have proper version control and to allow cooperation on a code.

Though I have selected Lisp idea about code as a data, this does not mean it should be always Lisp syntax, I will try to borrow nice features from other languages as well hence the name.

🤖 story.ai via Cole Lawrence

🧵 conversation

Hi everyone, we recently updated our website with some new ideas for how we are aiming to explain our programming environment at story.ai

We’ve definitely been mostly focused on implementation and technical challenges mostly, but it’s really nice to have something more substantial on our website to talk about our work. 🙂

And here’s a little teaser from a pitch deck we’re currently working on, too!

Thinking Together

🎥 The Metaverse: How it will end the Internet via Andreas S

🧵 conversation

Hello everyone 👋 Its probably due to facebook announcement, that I feel this topic gains attention. But I would be curious: What are your thoughts on the "Metaverse"

Exciting <=> Frightening? Indifferent? Especially from what we often discuss here the agency perspective, will this development lead to more centralization and more negative effects? Will it lead to better or worse - human relationships? Thank you!

Very interesting thread from andy matuschack on ""Export considered harmful" Because software rarely operate on "files in folders" anymore, "export" is increasingly the way software exposes data. But usually you don't want a dead snapshot; you want to "use this data elsewhere"—which requires repeatedly exporting & reconciling."

🧵 conversation

I've spent a lot of time talking about programming in VR on here over the years but not showing too much (which reminds me that I should do more prototyping :)) This demo of a quantum computing programming environment is kind of in the space I'm talking about

🎙 Software for your second brain via Mariano Guerra

🧵 conversation

We chat with Alex Obenauer, entrepreneur and writer of technology insights, about the connection between music and programming, changing email and productivity software to serve the user, and building empathy from the operating system on up.
