Intent: bring ideas to life. Discuss, sharpen, play. Minimize the distance between intent and reality.
Process: Aim intent towards curiosity — explore — refactor towards orthogonality. Embrace remix culture. Legibility is a partially provided affordance, not a design constraint.
Status: work in progress, plenty of rough edges. But you’re very much welcome to have a look around 🤗

I include this list as a personal reminder.
Good question! What this is is perhaps less useful than what this is for.
It’s for playing with ideas. Good ones, but mostly bad ones. Toss them around. Light them on fire. Then watch the smoke rise!
