Our Work

📝 Paper is a note taking tool for VSCode via Raathi

🧵 conversation

I’ve been tinkering with a VSCode extension called Paper. The main motivation behind Paper is to create a place to keep the things (files, folders, location within a file) I often go back to when working on a feature or fixing a bug.

I’ve been using it for a while and I find it really useful. If you have ideas or feedback feel free to share 🙂

📝 Imp: live repl via Jamie Brandon

🧵 conversation

I wrote a live repl for imp.

Still very much a hacky prototype, but it feels fun already.

Thinking Together

💬 Breck Yunits

🧵 conversation

Has anyone seen a study on "how a DSL becomes a GPL"? Or, alternatively, "what is the most common path travelers take before arriving at Greenspun's 10th rule?"

Is there something like "DSLS either die or eventually add identifiers, then functions, then branching, then macros, etc"? I'm curious if you can look ahead and say "well if this is successful, it will eventual require so many things, so might as well not do a DSL in the beginning and instead start with a GPL and build a library"

📝 Silence is a Commons by Ivan Illich via Andreas S

🧵 conversation

I’m so grateful to Jack Rusher or was it Konrad Hinsen ? For introducing me to Ivan Illich. Here is a interesting piece by him on technology (computers) and how it relates to the concept of commons.

🕹 Playdate Pulp: Zero to video game in 60 Seconds via Florian Schulz

🧵 conversation

PulpScript is limited in some ways -- for instance, it doesn’t currently support arbitrary math expressions, just simple operations between two values. Shaun has joked that “brute force creativity” is the attitude to take when solving a problem in Pulp. This simple toolbox gives you just enough flexibility to expand the game’s featureset beyond what seems possible at first. With a little bit of lateral thinking, you can generate random mazes, write lengthy dialog trees, and make games that look like graphic adventures or dungeon crawlers.

🎥 Fun, Funky, Functional: The Pursuit of Better User Interfaces for Programming via Konrad Hinsen

🧵 conversation

I hadn't looked at sketch-n-sketch for a while, so I am blown away by what it can do by now. See the recent demos in Ravi Chugh's ICFP 2021 keynote
