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.

03 / 05 What chips are for

Four people. Four slates.
Same 34 chips.

  1. 01

    A photographer publishes a year of weather.

    IMAGE chips, PATH chips, MOMENT chips. Each one timestamped. Reorders by drag. Becomes a printable zine in one click.

    MOMENT

    First frost of the season

  2. 02

    A founder runs an AMA every Friday at 14:00.

    POLL chip for the week's topic. COUNTDOWN chip above. NOW chip says exactly what they're working on.

    What should we cover in Friday's AMA?

  3. 03

    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.

    Tools should adapt to the way you think, not the other way around.
