Inspiration

Plugin window organization

• Notebooks:

  • Jupyter Notebook
    • 
    • The notebook’s scrollable nature makes embedding plugins in the UI easy and clean.
  • Elixir Livebook
    • example video
  • Note: notebooks fit very well if you are trying to tell a story; for a tutorial, analyzing data, interactive textbook, prototyping… . I have not seen them used for large systems or codebases.

• Glamorous toolkit:

  • 
  • multi-language notebook, code editor, software analysis platform, visualization engine, knowledge management system

• Design software:

  • blender
    • 
  • photoshop
    • 
  • gimp
    • 

• Music production software:

  • Ableton Live
    • 

• Hazel livelit:

  • Plugins are rendered inline.
  • link, test with let foo<tab>$color

Prototyping

• Visually organizing plugin windows
