The workbench

This is where I keep the parts still moving: questions, observations, workflows being refined and the material I am using to think through them.

Some are working tools. Others are conversations, diagrams or a useful process that has not become a package yet. A thought can land while the larger idea remains open.

DevNotes

DevTools, but for noties.

A little tool for leaving visual notes on a live web page. Draw around a detail, select some text and leave a thought. The note keeps the page context so a coding agent can find the same thing.

Born while refining this portfolio. Its local notebook now keeps multiple selections, replies and named snapshots. The later frozen-page experiment became Devsigner.

An early version of this portfolio, with a red DevNotes arrow asking to move “and” from the end of the second headline line to join “useful mischief.”

Questions in progress

Polinko continues through questions about minimal configuration, context, correction and uncertainty. The Polinko Toy Factory follows how the evaluation question changes as each interaction develops.

For Sketchiebook, I want to compare work without losing the context that made an observation meaningful: images, prompts, selected regions, conversations and saved comparisons.

Proposed beta-v2 evidence flow. Automatic recording on note and reply save is an agreed next requirement, with implementation still open.

The proposed design connects images and references, prompts and conversations, and notes, regions and replies to a versioned evidence store. Automatic capture on save is a next requirement. Queries lead to visual views and saved comparisons, which return their source context to the store. Evaluations are included when undertaken; findings retain their sources and authorship.

Work becoming tools

Studio asks how to reuse a process built from fragments while preserving the parts of an edit already accepted. Liquid brings an established code, layout, accessibility and functional inspection workflow toward a package.

Applyekhine keeps relevance, answers and actions separate in the practical work of preparing applications.

Polinkofolio

An ongoing research notebook for essays, thoughts, diagrams and findings. A place to follow the longer inquiry, beyond the introduction on this site.
