• Our tools shape our selves

  Reply I disagree. There are so many creative tools that are now online that you can access from your browser that were not envisioned in the original web. It is obviously true that not EVERY website is about creation (but to expect that seems unreasonable?), but even Wikipedia is a collaborative project.

• Let's compile like it's 1992

  Would processing[0] be a good fit? It's designed to be easy to use and learn but powerful enough for professional use. Very quick to get cool stuff moving on a screen and the syntax is Java with a streamlined editing environment. [0] https://processing.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Penrose – Penrose

• Poster for the Church of Galactic Truths

  Done in Serif Affinity Designer as a learning execise I guess. Source: about 1 year ago

• Easy software to bubble part darwings?

  You'll need inkscape. It's free at inkscape.org. Affinity Designer can do the same job. It's $70 at https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/designer/. Source: about 1 year ago

• PDF viewer/editor for Mac

  If you want to do very sophisticated edits, you can actually use Adobe Illustrator or Affinity Designer to edit PDF files (but they are obviously terrible readers). Source: about 1 year ago
