📝 Building a meteorite visualisation with Noodl + Mapbox via James Haliburton
I wanted to share one of our designers' projects built with Noodl. We've recently created a Mapbox integration, so this is a bit of an in-house experiment.

Video demo of Blawx v1 early stage proof of concept user-friendly Rules as Code tool. Declarative logic, natural language explanations, hypothetical reasoning, zero-click deploy to API, block-based controlled natural language programming environment, live code generation. All feedback very welcome. ~7m.
💻 cranq.io via Dan Stocker
Hi FoC,
We just released version Alpha 1.8.0 of CRANQ (cranq.io)!
For those that don't know, CRANQ is - despite what the website says - a general-purpose "low-coding" IDE and code repository. It compiles to JavaScript (npm packages), and is fully extensible from within. This release is still far from our original vision - lacking in instrumentation, types, search, and general UX - but is usable enough to prototype APIs and integrations.
Thoughts, feedback welcome.
We're also looking for case studies - projects that we help you build in CRANQ. DM me if you'd like to participate in our alpha programme.

🐦 Tweet from @TaliaRinger via Denny Vrandečić
Just a half-formed thought: in the following tweet, the developer has mapped foot pedals to some modifier keys, so she uses one pedal for alt-tabbing, one pedal for control, one for shift, etc. But notice how giddy and happy she is presenting that? My guess is that the fact that even a little bit more of our body is used in our day to day work, which is usually just the fingers and hands, would make us giddier and happier.
🐦 Talia Ringer: Check out my new foot pedals!!!! They work for keyboard modifiers in Ubuntu!
I think something similar is going on with graph representations of otherwise linearly encoded texts, be that knowledge graphs, ontologies, or programming code. The idea that we spread out these more or less one-dimensional beasts into two dimensions, or even three, is deeply appealing to us, even though we haven't seen as much impact with the actual current results of this line of work. So thinks like UML diagrams, Vlojure, Scratch speak to our desire that they should be awesome. Just because it is a much better fit to our capabilities.
🎥 On Impact in Software Engineering Research via Deepak Karki
A bit of a meta discussion on research and impact!
In Andreas Zeller’s talk “On Impact in Software Engineering Research”, he presents a number of lessons from and for high-impact research:
Work on a real problem
Assume as little as possible
Keep things simple
Have a sound model
Keep on learning
Keep on moving
Build prototypes
Andreas Zeller is faculty at the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security and professor for Software Engineering at Saarland University, both in Saarbrücken, Germany. His research on automated debugging, mining software archives, specification mining, and security testing has won several awards for its impact in academia and industry. Zeller is an ACM Fellow, an IFIP Fellow, an ERC Advanced Grant Awardee, and holds an ACM SIGSOFT Outstanding Research Award.
📝 Electric Tables: Experimenting with personal databases and the web as a texture via Andreas S
What are your thoughts 💭 on this: Electric Tables to me it feels like a mesh up of many different things I’ve seen before. It’s like a tagging mechanism for HTML websites with a very simple local table store.
📝 blockprotocol.org via Tom Larkworthy
I quite like the idea of userspace reusable blocks blockprotocol.org The blocks living above the level of a single application. I wonder if I should prototype something.

Tudor Girba discusses Moldable Development,
a way of programming through which we construct custom tools for every development problem.

Hey guys, not sure if this is totally aligned with interest of future of coding, mods feel free to remove the post if it isn’t. I put together this list of “knowledge atlases” which structure the different dependencies between topics across fields for self learners
