We've previously written about a "mnemonic medium," which helps you remember what you read. Here we explore a different angle, extending a book in time to help it connect to lived experience.

Beautiful idea!
You might describe interactions with a typical book using "states" such as "unread", "skimmed", "read".
What "states" might you use to describe interactions with a timeful text?

I don't know! It's a good question.
We spent a lot of time thinking about + iterating on representations of progress for the mnemonic medium (which I think is probably simpler) and it still feels like we've barely scratched the surface!
