#inkandswitch — Public Fediverse posts

Just read an interesting article [1] and watched a talk [2] about making digital drawings/sketches/visualizations dynamic and reactive, more or less by directly interacting with them on the virtual canvas rather than writing code.

I am a bit amazed and especially impressed by the software presented in the talk [3]. It lets one procedurally build (probably) any imaginable vector visualization by drawing shapes and hooking them and their properties up to input data or other shapes.

This is folks from https://www.symplasma.org working on this.

I think I know a lot about versioning, ink and switch is still around to enlighten me with canvas collaboration and algorithms (CRDT) I do not know about. It sounds like a hasty writing for a topic I could read more about.

It awesome to see groups forming, and prospering on recursion: how to ease collaboration?

For Berliners, there is a call to meet in the post, so read on…
