02 / 05 What a slate is

A slate is structured web content, finally.

Not a wall of text. A composition of chips: small typed objects that know what they are. A quote. A map. A countdown. A path. The slate renders them correctly, every time. You just write.

    A trail runner maps a 482-km journey across Hokkaidō.

    MAP chip at every stop. JOURNEY chip strings them into a narrative. Coordinates become story.

  4. 04

    A reader keeps a public commonplace book.

    QUOTE chips. NOTE chips. LINK chips. The slate is the index. The chips are the entries. Searchable, syndicatable.
