Just prototyped an essay theme visualizer. This one is for braided essays, so you can see how the main focus shifts around, yet still references other threads to keep the whole thing cohesive. Then you can click into any paragraph and see how those themes weave in at the sentence/word level. I’ve done stuff like this with static images, but it’s a different thing to read an essay with animated overlays and full context. Now realizing that I could go through classic essays and make unique interfaces for each, to focus on different patterns. And then maybe, those same interfaces could help you see things in your own work? I have a lot of experimenting to do; feels like I need to enter a divergence phase, and then see what I can bring back into the Essay Architecture core app.
