Folk Canvas

Explorations

• What would it look like if the browser had primitives for building spatial canvases?
• How easily can we turn a document into a canvas?
• Can we incrementally change ownership and control of the web from single-origin server to the user?
• How can someone more easily annotate and re-layout web pages they did not make?
• How can we more easily compose and connect web pages and their data?
  • How can we compose together live and visual programming notations?
• Can we have lightweight visual and live scripting for web pages?
