![]() For me, this has been half the fun of building Studio Sketchpad: I started with Etherpad, cloned my own copy, and took it in an entirely new direction. The musician who refines their own version of a Bob Dylan song, the chef who "reinvents" the common cheeseburger, and the DIYer who builds an electric shoebox guitar just a little bit differently - each of them knows the joy of taking something that's already out there, and making it their own. ![]() Wikis are great tool for online collaboration when the goal is to arrive at a shared understanding or common resource, but it's important to remember that not all collaborations have this goal of converging on the One True Version. I'll share them with Andrzej.Īnil Dash argues that forking is a feature, and I whole-heartedly agree. If you come up with an interesting variation, please report back with links to your modifications. Think you have an answer? Have an idea for about avoiding intersecting circles? Click on the "clone" link in the canvas footer, and you're on your way. a question: how to prevent from creating circle in circle? a bug: if you wait long enough some circles will intersect Fun.Īndrzej Koper created a new sketch on Sketchpad today, and included a question and a bug report in a comment in the header. Sketches are editable, the animations are e-inktastic, and the canvas is still visible in sunlight. Voila! Etherpad and Processing.js both run beautifully. Motivated by a recent tweet by John McLear, I fired up Liz's new Kindle and pointed it's Webkit-based browser at Sketchpad. (For you hover-free iPad/iPod users, you can click on the sketch title to toggle the state of the footer.) Hovering over the controller expands the footer to reveal the license applied to the work, links to post the sketch to Twitter or Facebook, access to the canvas embed code, and a link to create a new sketch. My goal for the new footer, besides trying to look half as good as dribbble, was to make the canvas itself - particularly when embedded in another site - into a good starting point for exploring Sketchpad.Īs you can see above, the play/pause, view source, full-screen, and clone actions remain, sketch title is now displayed, and a revamped link back to the homepage incorporates the Creative Commons logo for the CC TLD. On hover, shots fade to reveal a nice overlay. The other source of inspiration for the design was from the fine folks at dribbble. offered an alternative model, where the controls are outside of the video itself, but are monochrome and minimalist, so as not to distract from the video itself. I liked how Vimeo hides the controller entirely until you need it, but this turned out to be a bit problematic when the thing being controlled, the sketch, can itself be responding dynamically to mouse events. It's modeled loosely on web video players such as and vimeo. I've been playing around recently with some modifications to canvas footer on sketches, and I'm now settled on a design that I like.
