i definitely have gone so far as to treat my llm readable docs in this way and have found it very effective

I'm working on a playful lisp interpreter for mobile friendly use and here is a little example url.

cool list! i make something web based like this called https://aesthetic.computer

i'm writing https://aesthetic.computer which is a 'social computer' designed as a more open and integrated alternative to existing kids media networks like roblox and tiktok

recently discussed here on hn: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41526754

and i'm currently seeking funding to support another year of development (just enter the command 'bb')

you can use my aesthetic.computer vscode extension for quick publishing of interactive pieces that work on phones and laptops just the same

hey thanks so much for all the info, i will apply some of these concepts to 'notepat' - technically there is encoding ability like if you enter 'notepat twinkle' it takes you through a monophonic track and i have a little syntax for that - you can also 'tape notepat' to record a video - i really enjoy playing it on my tiny unihertz jelly star android phone which is part of the 4 buttons per row design

they are sculptures i made in the oculus browser using a webvr tool on the site

they are generated in a web AudioWorklet on a per sample basis https://github.com/whistlegraph/aesthetic-computer/blob/main...

you can use the up and down arrow keys in 'notepat' and press the '/' key to see the waveform output and increase or decrease the sample size to better visualize them

if you tap the '-' key on ur keyboard it shows an overlay in red and green with the steps down and up which i've been using as a transposition aid

u can enter 'notepat twinkle' after tapping notepat in the corner to actually run through that melody

i run emacs inside the terminal in vscode so i can have a terminal multiplexer with vim shortcuts clipboard sharing and other weird integrations :)

i've been writing an interface like this called aesthetic.computer and trying to work out a full stack for it - i love the ideas in your writing

i built autosuggestions / catch all prompt responses on https://aesthetic.computer and you can also talk to characters like boyfriend, girlfriend, husband and wife. characters are great for kids and older users who really wouldn't experience the tech otherwise.

good, i prefer the old internet

this is what i'm designing aesthetic.computer for!

i run a tiktok page with 2.1m followers - not huge but mid-level, and it's seriously impacted my mental health

honestly the real sadness here is that apertures don't project rectangles and all photos should just be fuzzy circles with a focal point

my game https://nopaint.art takes a lot of inspiration from mario paint and kid pix

why thank you

Beautifully put. Do you have a community where you talk about this stuff?

Yeah this is exactly why I came up with whistlegraphs. I was doing a lot of thinking about how to define a VM for dynamic graphics and drawing and then realized I could start to specify things at a much higher level of abstraction before ever needing the computer.

of course it's you

I loved this!

I also found Observable and spent a week or so rebuilding https://nopaint.art in it! I really liked how you could export a Notebook and it would pull in all the dependencies to make a SPA. I think it would be such a beautiful way to develop my software with other people. (Edit: I only built a prototype that has not been released, but I still believe it would be viable over the current game engine I'm using, especially for collaboration.)

Roblox is really culturally interesting for kids. So much of my TikTok audience plays Roblox and I tried making some games in there but the tooling and UX has a lot of friction. I loved reading this post though and feel happy that things will improve in the future. Roblox is huge!

Get TikTok - it worked for me!

I've been doing a lot of scored drawing pieces, where I draw the same marks in a certain order within a certain timeframe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6n4FpHbqZs

This is a sentiment close to my heart.

A cute implementation! I really love Logo / that whole aesthetic of the early versions... I like the slowness of building a picture that way, and I like the interactive development process. It's much closer to a video game kind of experience.

Yeah this resonates a lot with me as much as I'd like to disagree. I know of course as the author points out, there are exceptions in other domains, like video games or voice platforms in particular, and as a developer I understand that but as a consumer I don't really know what to think anymore.
