  • The Public Domain Review

    https://publicdomainreview.org/

    Founded in 2011, The Public Domain Review is an online journal and not-for-profit project dedicated to the exploration of curious and compelling works from the history of art, literature, and ideas.

    As our name suggests, the focus is on works now fallen into the public domain, that vast commons of out-of-copyright material that everyone is free to enjoy, share, and build upon without restriction. Our aim is to promote and celebrate the public domain in all its abundance and diversity, and help our readers explore its rich terrain – like a small exhibition gallery at the entrance to an immense network of archives and storage rooms that lie beyond.

    I learned about The Public Domain Review via https://kottke.org. My first website was Out of Print Library. I created it using Mediawiki and originally posted Aesops Fables and other out of print work. I’ve been excited about the concept of public domain ever since.

  • Hedy, a multilingual programming language

    The popular programming languages are English. Here’s what happens when people can code in their own language:

    Hedy is the easy way to get started with textual programming languages! Hedy is free to use, open source, and unlike any other textual programming language in three ways.

    1. Hedy is multi-lingual, you can use Hedy in your own language
    2. Hedy is gradual, so you can learn one concept and its syntax a time
    3. Hedy is built for the classroom, allowing teachers to fully customize their student’s experience
