Oblique Strategies App

This is a mobile web app, so try visiting it from your mobile device, if you haven't already.

How to Run

Open public/index.html in your browser. That's it!

Tech

  • HTML5 Mobile Boilerplate saves you a ton of work by gathering all the different meta tags, icons for your web apps, CSS reset/defaults all in one place.
  • Random fonts from Google Web Fonts.
  • Faves stored using HTML5 localStorage
  • Uses HTML5 application cache to allow the app to work offline

Where's the good stuff?

This is the good stuff:

  • public/js/script.js
  • public/css/style.css

What are oblique strategies?

Oblique Strategies is a set of published cards created by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt first published in 1975. Each card contains a phrase or cryptic remark which can be used to break a deadlock or dilemma situation.
