Really surprised that the references skip from 1988 (Viewpoint: Toward a Computer for Visual Thinkers) to 2010 (INK-12) totally overlooking:
- Momenta
- Go Corp.'s PenPoint
- Aha! Inkwriter (which became the basis for Microsoft's Journal)
- Dan Bricklin's pen software
- the academic exercises Denim and Silk which were written in Java
or even extant tools such as:
- https://www.inftyproject.org/en/software.html https://www.inftyproject.org/en/software.html
- or the facility to do math in text input fields drawing software such as Freehand or Illustrator
- or https://ryven.org https://ryven.org where one can drag in programming elements and annotate with a pen
I've been a big believe in this sort of thing for a long while now, and would be glad of it becoming more workable and available and popular.
I'd love to have a piece of software which was:
- freeform, allowing both writing and drawing
- yet still allowed capturing data structures and referring to things by some meaningful handle
- programmable --- even just a formula pane such as Lotus Improv had would be great
