I need to jot this down someplace, before I take it to substack, or medium (I am kidding, of course.. unless I’m going to do it).

After being halfway through John Maeda’s Creative Code (I am reading its German translation, if you are interested in that sort of thing), something about tool building struck a chord there, if that’s the proper phrase.

why aren’t there dedicated Photoshop devices? Or, why isn’t there something like Photoshop as an Operating System?

I am myself more than a little way into hacking software to expand its functionality (I think basil.js tuned me to this whole world of plugins and extensions), so what gives?
