Episode 14 - Research Recap Seven: Master Planning

• TOC {:toc}

Fun engagement⚓︎

I’ve been having some fun engagement! Spoke with AndreaS from Twitter. Tweeted with Chris Granger, emailed with Alan Kay and Nick Johnstone and Christopher Anand.

I love emails⚓︎

I’m also getting cold emails from listeners which has been unreal! Please keep it coming and apologies if I’m not able to review your tech right away. I will try to respond within a day or two but it might be just to tell you that I’m busy and will add you to my list. I am human so the more you follow up with me, the faster I will get to your stuff.

Finally finished CycleJS Flappy Bird⚓︎

Made good progress on Elm Flappy Bird⚓︎

Juan-Benet-inspired Master Plan, which I continued on the about page⚓︎

Structural Editors Thesis⚓︎

StreamSheets write up⚓︎

Website reorg⚓︎

Journal Death Knell and future on commit log and unbreakable-links (which may turn into its own github pages alternative service)

Amazing recent call with Andre Staltz⚓︎

(https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/) is really cool⚓︎

Marinate on problems⚓︎

Design for the future (AI)⚓︎

Strongly Consider Expression Editor or Blockly Alternative (as a subcomponent to prototype other things)⚓︎

Plan for next week⚓︎

1. Continue Master planning (writing and getting feedback)⚓︎

2. Start writing about problems more explicitly (as opposed to solutions)⚓︎

• View update problem
• Prototyping graphic languages problem
• Error messages are hard problem
• Files and folders are a tough abstraction to make sense of a codebase problem

3. Continue writing up solutions⚓︎

• StreamSheets
• FRP WoofJS
• FRP Scratch
• Blockly Elm
• Blockly CycleJS
• Expression Editor

4. Make this website scale with changes: unbreakable-links⚓︎
