imagine a hackathon where we all try to explain complex concepts in shorthand meme form, and we give notes to each other and pick the best one & use it. Like a game jam, cc @redblobgames

Thanks for the patience with the broken #Tracery domains, folks. I can't get the old domains back (thanks squatters)
but I've put up archival versions at tracery.io/archival/crystalc…
and
tracery.io/archival/brightsp…
and Tracery.io has been renewed till 2026

Thanks to everyone who pinged me!
I tend to freeze up on Tracery stuff (so much I thought I could do! So much undone! aaack!) but its good to at least have this cleaned up
And I promise to never f*ck with the archival versions, artbot.club is where I'll play around
