Ted Nelson published Computer Lib / Dream Machines in 1974. I read it that year. It’s the incredible vision that specifically inspired the web—and it was about *books*. Half a century later, Andy & I are approximately the only people in the world who write hypertext books.pic.twitter.com/oAgnEZvuRO

An odd thing about this: I’m writing tons of hypertext now, but I (most days?) think of it as notes for myself, to be turned into linear manuscripts before wide publication. In part that’s because hypertext reading UX has so many challenges! Very curious about solving them...

Can you share what those daemons and lisp code you most rely on add to the editing experience?
