• You can draft & prototype cheaply
• You can make sure your short-term memory / namespace isn’t polluted with random stuff (and instead use the canvas as an extension of your short-term memory)
• You can better take advantage of large screens + space
• You can share context more easily with others there are some basic flow + storytelling metaphors built in!

02/19/2020, 11:45 PMI played with it briefly. Commendable objective of sharing modules between users. It's cute, and has the virtue of simplicity, whereby you repeat simple concepts to build a bigger thing. The idea that small fragments of code have their own canvas to draw on, would be great if your purpose is to composite layered visual effects like in Illustrator and Photoshop. General purpose software cannot be constructed by superposition, so I would be hard pressed to make 99% of the things i have built in my lifetime with Stamper.

02/22/2020, 12:38 AMIn some of their examples they are superimposing various tracking effects, stacking them as graphical layers. This creates a complex final result. My point was that outside of visual effects and sound, there are very few areas where stacking things is used. Because the first graphical programming environments originated with audio (Max language) and are popular in visual effects (Houdini, etc.) it has been a frequently used starting point for next gen language designers.
