RIP the legendary Drew Struzan (1947-2025) 😩

Even though we were expecting the news any day now, it makes me very sad. What an artist.

Codex progress update:

You can now create Book Documents with fixed size pages, which can store page-sized images (scans) or regular editable text blocks.

I have a hunch that fixed-size Book Documents may prove more useful than free-form Documents at times.

Experimenting with a BookBlock in Codex for when you want to position two pages side by side ...

More work required

+ page navigation controls
+ page turning effects (CSS)
+ adding new pages from templates or images
+ text annotation of image areas
+ bookmarks
+ create a TableOfContentsBlock

Codex progress update:

Sticky tags!

You can now add coloured sticky tabs to the side of Codex documents for recording brief notes about the document.

E.g., you could put a checklist of work items for the document, questions to follow up, etc.

+ Instead of having to use modals or pop-ups you can now enter values directly into the context menu, as here where we change the name of a Page in the document ...

Moritz Moszkowski (1854 – 1925) was a German-Polish composer, virtuoso pianist, and teacher.

His last years were spent in poverty for he sold all his copyrights & invested the lot in German, Polish, & Russian bonds & securities, which were rendered worthless on the outbreak of WWI.

Mark Hambourg (1879 – 1960), Russian British concert pianist.

According to Henry Wood, his appearance and technique were compared to that of Anton Rubinstein, and Ferruccio Busoni later told Wood that Hambourg's was then the greatest talent of the time.

Why shouldn't your documents give you the space to capture a 3D image of your topics?

Aside from the text of 'The Raven' I've always wanted to collect together:

+ the best illustrations
+ further reading
+ LLM analyses

And pull out any Page into its own Document if you wish.

Here you can see the new Pages feature of Codex in action.

The text for Poe's The Raven is on the first page, while illustrations for it can be put on the second.

It allows us to keep both text and images together without cluttering up the document.

Codex progress update:

- finally sorted out all destructuring issues for tabs and grids, which means that you can now have tabs-in-grids and grids-in-tabs and know you can destructure (flatten) both to contiguous text blocks
