It was a fascinating dive, and the idea of making a document oriented OS rather than application oriented one would’ve been so much better. The most frustrating part about modern computing is that data is tied to specific apps. But if things were designed around data from the ground up, we could’ve had far better file standards. Business logic could’ve been decoupled from presentation as well, and you could create interfaces on the fly to represent a specific workflow you want. Basically a similar idea to the way shell scripting works but for the desktop.
So much fun to read this! thanks!
