A **literate interface** is an visual interface that complements and extends the principles of literate programming. It is an interface that takes, but does not limit itself to a "literate first" approach.
# Developing a specification
We are seeking to develop a vision and implementation of this concept through:
- Opening a Federated Design Space - Creating a Federated Wiki App
It is through the process of experimenting with a diversity of communities-of-use, together with a wide range of software tooling, with an emphasis on multmedia integration that we feel we will be in the best position to develop a robust specification for a first implementation of a literate interface.
# Livecode Prototype
We have a working prototype of the Wiki App implmented as an electon-style app in Livecode. We use this app to: 1. Manage Lots of Domains 1. Publish to Obsidian 1. Backup and Manage Wiki Archives in git 1. Multimedia Wiki - integrate audiovisual content 1. Create a Commandline Wiki 1. Generative Wiki - integrate wiki with AI pipelines
The application has been coded in order to be as agile as possible with regard to design challenges from the community.
