I'm currently working on making the most(hopefully) editable and configurable software/browser/tool/app ever.

Yes I'm trying to directly compete with emacs for the title.

I love the idea of lisp, hypercard, SmallTalk, Self Referentiality, Tools for Thought, make-your-own-software.

I was inspired by many different ideas in software. Immediate feedback(Bret Victor-Inventing on Principle), Reactivity, meta-programming etc.

If someone made a plugin, you should ... in principle be able to edit it, so you learn by "thinkering". Editability, learnining via example.

All of this is done with HTML. To check it: https://github.com/ilse-langnar/notebook
