Textension
wins READ_ME 1.2
In
terms of aesthetic enjoyment,Textension is a
clear winner. It is delightful, exciting, fantastic to play with. It points
in many directions at once, suggesting that hypertext could be fun and
beautiful and profound in all kinds of new ways that it isn’t today. Interestingly,
the way to this development is pointed out by the typewriter, which produced
beautiful things through the physical action of metal. Textension
is the first piece of software to pick up effectively this very lost thread.;
