Inkbase: Programmable Ink
summary
Inkbase is a programmable digital sketchbook that represents each pen stroke as a live object with reactive properties and links objects by spatial queries (what’s left/right/top/bottom). The team implements a homegrown reactive DSL, demos include a to‑do list whose items change color when ink lies inside a drawn rectangle, NAND‑based logic gates wired by proximity, hand‑drawn derivatives and a sketchy UI slider. Prototypes feel responsive and useful, but grouping compound strokes, programmatic creation, and the programming model remain unresolved.
