Create your document in plain text -- a format that can be read and written
anywhere, anytime, on any computer.
Organize your thoughts by what they mean, not how they
look on the page. Your writing tool shouldn't distract you with a
laundry list of choices that have nothing to do with meaning.
Style your work in a way that flows naturally from the organization of your
ideas. You've composed naturally without the distraction of styling, now let
the styling follow naturally from your composition.
Share your work - in plain text that can be read and edited anywhere, in
HTML, the universal language of the web, or in PDF, a format created for
documents you want to print out and hold in your hands.
yc c on 21 Jun 09SwarmSketch is an ongoing online canvas that explores the possibilities of distributed design by the masses. Each week it randomly chooses a popular search term which becomes the sketch subject for the week. In this way, the collective is sketching what the collective thought was important each week. A new sketch begins after one week, or after the previous sketch reaches one thousand lines, whichever comes first. Each user can contribute a small amount of line per visit, then they are given the opportunity to vote on the opacity of lines submitted by other users. By voting, users moderate the input of other users, judging the quality of each line. The darkness of each line is the average of all its previous votes.
