Codex progress update:

- standoff and block properties now have lifecycle events to enable setting up animations

- as well as decorating a standoff property you can now wrap it with a styled inline block (for CSS effects that can only be achieved that way)

I've now scanned a booklet on the Florentine bookbinding workshop of Guilio Giannini e Figlio, who created Renaissance-style vellum bindings like these in the early 1900s.

You can read it on the Internet Archive.

It's simple, really. I help software companies improve adoption and retention by designing products to ensure that users know what they can do within it to accomplish their goals. It's continuous onboarding - learning doesn't stop in the first 10 min. It should be a byproduct of usage.

To steer a system, you need at least three things: 1. Know where you are. 2. Choose where you want to go. 3. Ensure you are actually going there. Of these, only the second one is about construction and design. 1 and 3 are about assessing the system. Invest in those explicitly.

When the personal computing was first conceived, it was all open and accessible. And personal. Then a marketing person put it in a shiny box and since then we got used to regard systems as black boxes that do things. And we expect them to not be personal either. That can and should be changed.

According to Arthur C. Clarke, the first exoplanet was discovered during the Second World War by radio telescope observations. (This was later disproved on closer analysis.)

In my opinion, the work at Xerox Parc around Smalltalk informed the world about two things: 1. The introduction of user interfaces showed that computation can be made explainable to humans. 2. The language showed that computation can be expressed uniformly at all levels of abstraction.

Fair point. But I think you could get a standoff editor in TypeScript down to less than 100KB uncompressed. What you would gain is rich text styling and semantic highlighting. Users could also highlight & annotate others' posts.
