Parametric Editors

The final frontier of software

Unique Input is Essential

People are limited by their file editors. When everyone uses the same tools, everyone gets the same results. To create something unique is to take a path nobody else is taking. You can't do that with generic, one-size-fits-all software.

Specific Output Files are Required

Examples by persona, expanding output tree.

Each environment requires its own files with specific optimizations.

Restaurant -> Website -> menu.html -> image.png -> Prints -> menu.pdf -> backup.pdf

Webpages

  • HTML
  • Hydration
  • CSS
  • og:image
  • twitter:image

Print

  • CMYK, dpi

Tight Iteration Cycle

Having a tight feedback loop is the name of the game. If it takes an hour to create high quality outputs, you'll wait an hour. If it takes 3 seconds, you'll improve 100x faster.
