Excited to announce the official launch of our online book, WebAssembly from the Ground Up! 🎉
It's the book we wish we'd had 3 years ago.
No messing with tools and frameworks. It's a hands-on guide to the core of Wasm: the instruction set and module format.

The Ink team at Ink & Switch is starting something new — publishing our internal lab notes.
These are (mostly) unedited, with all our puzzling and musing and prototypes unfiltered.

We’ve begun publishing the internal research notes we write within the lab. Some of these newly published notes come from our archives of past projects, others are being freshly written about our latest work. Be aware that these are notes we write for ourselves. Sometimes they’ll mention a term or name that you won’t be familiar with. Many notes link to other notes that aren’t public (yet?). If you’re interested in our quest to build a dynamic notebook with programmable ink, or are working on something similar yourself, there’ll be lots to see and learn here.

been looking for a name for this concept for ages!
“endocept”: the vague, pre-articulate sense of vision that guides creation
a core difficulty of creativity support tool design is that in early-stage creativity it’s easy to accidentally displace the endocept
