First off, thank you for the wild response to the Fireflies project! It hit 1200 points on Hacker News and got a couple hundred retweets – not bad for a one-week side project.

At last! Here's the very first preview of my next explorable explanation – on the game theory of trust!
You know how I said I made LOOPY so I can create interactives more often than once every three months? Well, here's a new interactive, made with LOOPY, out well before three months!
Hi all! First off, I want to take an opportunity to thank you again for helping me make LOOPY a success, I'm humbled by all the love it's gotten, you're probably sick of hearing me thank you ove...

So all this time I've been making educational simulations? Well, at long friggin' last, I've made a tool for you to easily make your own educational simulation!
LOOPY was almost feature-complete –– you could draw feedback loops, simulate them, share them –– but something was still missing. Yes, there needed to be a way for a user to add their ow...

Hi all! I'm almost done with the prototype for LOOPY (a tool to make & simulate feedback loops) but in the meantime, I've revamped my entire Patreon page! There's actually goals 2017-02-08 15:30:34 +0000 UTC View Post
I meant to post this for Screenshot Saturday, but I was out celebrating Chinese New Year, and then the news blew up, and then even more news blew up, and then I forgot. Anyway! 2017-01-30 16:38:59 +0000 UTC View Post
Here's a sneak peek at what I'm working on next – a tool to simulate feedback loops! In case Patreon doesn't show the above (or below?) GIF, here's a link to it:
Happy (belated) New Year, everyone!
I always get reflective and way too introspective around this time of year. First off – thank you. In 2016, thanks to your support, I released ...

Hey hey, here's another GIF of my upcoming as-of-yet-untitled game about the news.
Y'know, maybe instead of having just one Patreon post a month, I should actually update you peeps more often. So, here's a GIF showing off the main mechanic of my upcoming minigame!

Anyway, I've been feeling stuck on my main projects lately, so this ...
