draft
very raw notes:
questions -- cases [explain in a dream sequence]
define a motive / vision
how to enable user programming (or more sophisticated interactions)
- binary or field based interaction isn't creative or expressive (we are punchcard operators)
- there are too many people between author and software
- there is strange dystopian cultural activity stunting growth (to much 'no')
- serious obstacles make it difficult to participate (coding is an undertaking)
- a gap exists -- there are no tools! -- tools must be built!
- there is a need : but also a lack of education : platform brainwashing : conform/apathy
- tool building and education should be conducted in parallel
- combat with fun | current tools suck | fun tools that empower have a chance
- there is still a strong desire for community | craft | art | etc...
- how to navigate these intersections! nimoy is a suggested route/passageway
- create a good stepping stone to an accessible language
so where to start?
- use modules
- use an accessible language
- everything is opensource
- iterate --- build ALOT -- heavy non-tech invlovement -- nonbro
- streaming / async -- this is creative/malleable
- human but not stunted / transparent / users are treated with total respect
- care! well-crafted
- networked / internet
danger areas
- financial pressure / sustainability : funding model [a hosted service]
- platforms [cli program / browser]
- education / usability : how to introduce new ideas in a hostile environment (fun)
1st pass / alpha phase === 'nimoy'
- node / npm / javascript
