+## Deadbeat escapement simulator
+
+So the plan now is to lay out the escapement according to the description in "The Modern Clock".
+
+First I want to add support for the obvious input fields, and then I'll add more fields as they become
+apparent.
+
+Well this is what I have now: https://img.incoherency.co.uk/5429
+
+Todo:
+
+ * the "Pending changes, click apply" thing from Oscillating Engine Simulator
+ * output plots
+ * status output: amplitude, period
+ * read the book and make the geometry correct
+
+## Formpacker
+
+Would be good to have some "auto-configure" option which will take a reference to a form (or find
+the only form on the page? or all input elements?) and automatically setup the field spec.
