Webstrates

“Sharable dynamic media” platform by Clemens Klokmose and collaborators. Malleable software exemplar!

• One notion: something like Webstrates might enable outside-in authoring of something along the lines of What might it mean to situate games like Shenzhen I\/O inside pro environments like an IDE?, both because it provides for the malleability of the “pro” environment and because it would provide the stability necessary to decorate it with a tutorial
• TODO: write comparisons with Dynamicland, Tiddlywiki (see 2021-09-06 notebook, page 96)
