wakest ⁂wow @pfh's ghostsurn is really fun! I don't really understand it but whatever, it makes really cool images! https://logarithmic.net/ghostsurn
I need a tag for posts like this, I have been saving little apps into an Are.na channel called 'art apps' https://www.are.na/liaizon-wakest/art-apps for a few years now but I don't like that name. I guess something like #WebToys would work? I feel like merveilles.town probably already has a tag for this
OK this is fucking cool and I am def going to use this a bunch! https://spacetypegenerator.com #WebToys #STG
AGF : poemproducerwow this one is so cool: https://drajmarsh.bitbucket.io/tree3d.html
@poemproducer tools implies some sort of usefulness tho and alot of these things are sort of "pointless" but they allow you do some *something*
ok, learning, I think, browserplay ?
heracl.es@liaizon @poemproducer Not all tools are useful, they can be gimmicks, decorative, or ceremonial. I favor their definition as objects we use to manipulate the world with, physical or not doesn’t matter. Needs something unique, such as such as the #ToolsForThought tag, maybe #ToolsForPlay or #ToolsForCreation? Here’s a collection of many such little tools from my bookmarks: http://www.nathalielawhead.com/candybox/the-wonderful-world-of-tools-made-by-small-teams-solo-devs-and-shareware-weird-beautiful-and-experimental-things-to-be-creative-in-an-analysis-on-building-for-approachability
@heracles @poemproducer thank you! I totally agree... ToolsForCreation is pretty good, maybe a bit long?
@liaizon @poemproducer I regret my suggestion for ToolsForCreation, #ToolsForMaking may be more inclusive, less TikTok-y. The web technologies aspect is also important #WebToolsForMaking
