09/08/2024, 2:11 PMHiya folks, now that many of you have been digging in to Dynamicland's website for a bit and are in the right frame of mind, I was hoping that you may have had your neurons tickled in just the right ways to be open to reading about a project with some similarities: mine! 🤗
So I updated my About page, and I was hoping that it's now short and accessible enough to be just the info needed for you to "get" what my project is all about:

09/09/2024, 9:48 AMI believe it still had applications in the UI and it was architected with persistent but more-or-less trad objects, so not what I call "Inverted". Your stuff, like contacts, messages, notes and events, could only be interacted with within the boundaries of their apps rather than being free-floating and having "physical" properties, like weight, being stackable and pinnable etc. There wasn't anything in the UI to allow arbitrary mashing up of the stuff on the desktop there, like grabbing a contact from the Rolodex (!) and stapling it to the diary on tomorrow's date page.
