| (I'm in a kind of rush and your comment really inspired me, so the organization in this reply is pretty bad.) Well, there's nothing this or Treesheets does that nothing else (in MS Office) can't do or approximate. It's just different degrees of freedom and fuckupability. More degrees of freedom means more ways to misdirect attention. This is very bad for classicalish artists who have to take in the whole work and make and edit each part with the whole in mind. But also for people writing long books. Zeminary is biased towards getting big things done. ... Things off the top of my head A I had a discussion a while ago about how email being uneditable is actually a feature. It forces you to focus more on writing and less on editing. Email threads also force you to understand a thing in time. Being able to forward and do emaily things helps you to get feedback. All this helps to free you from perfection so that you can / are free to perfect. But the foundation is uneditability. Standardization comes with limits. It makes for better communicability. People aren't met with the possibility of a mess of explicit hierarchies. Authors aren't so freely given the possibility. Limits are features. ... Things off the top of my head B It's easier to get into FPSs vs MOBAs because you only need to know a few things to get started. WASD to move. SPACE to jump. Leftclick to shoot. Rightclick to zoom. Something to crouch with, something to sprint with. It's also easier to get into some MOBAs than others because you only need to know a few maps and movesets. Both types of games are very fun, very profitable, very complicated. But FPSs are obviously easier for people to pick up on and enjoy — the learning curve to complex fun ratio is just better. I deleted links & backlinks from Matrix / Tensor Classic in the last week before the launch. I'm saving them & alot of other things for Matrix / Tensor Pro. I think links and references lock you prematurely into premature mental models. I know for some of my artwork, I've iterated on the concept alone 50 to 100 times, then on the work itself 50 to 100 times. One of my overarching principles for life and work is the "Multidimensional Thermopylae". I try to limit the surface areas of confrontation (making apps, doing things, etc.) to just a single point or easily addressable set of points, then I punch with everything I got. I try to set up my life to maximize those "Multidimensional Thermopylaes". Zeminary is meant to be a "Multidimensional Thermopylae" for certain kinds of work, (chordal/contrapuntal/holistic thinking). |
