I guess one reason for my polymathy is that if you want to prove what you’re making is sophisticated and there is no metric, you have to do other things at the edge of sophistication for you to have a measure and rigor to judge the new thing, and for others to know you're no clown.
A message of the social network media was to democratize all people to see that all are equal. And something no one saw was how everyone is silly, everyone is greedy, ... all the seven sins, and so it lowered the bar.
Highly inspired by Bret Victor 🞶's Double-lenticular cartography. I made this PDF viewer for Archive. The cartography works with click instead of hover but the logic is the same. It does allow for selection of text although there is much to be done for it work, and the thumbnails are badly clipped by my folder clipper, as the title is not still integrated. (1/4)
Another example of the PDF viewer with a landscape document (2/4)
I have also integrated my PDF cover renderer for the the thumbnail generation that I had implemented long ago for the AnnotationsKit (3/4)
Another example of the thumbnail generation. I'm so every in debt to Bret Victor 🞶. (4/4)
