This website is for sharing my web apps, digital art, poems and my interpretations of the Dao De Jing by Laozi. I designed the text and image apps, and Claude AI wrote the code.
Text Editor: The first app is a text editor that simulates the look of a typewriter. It uses a monospace font, which means columns of numbers align perfectly, and it has many of the standard Rich Text Format ((rtf) editing features, like bold, italic and underlined text. I have added red text, among other enhanced features. It uses your browser's spell check capability as well. It has a typewriter format, being designed for letter size paper. Your printed pages will look like the ones on the screen. Press F1 for a helpful list of the key controls. All actions are initiated by keystrokes. Typewriters don't have menus, and lack of menus means speedier editing. Your work is saved as a private web page with an html extension.

Image Editor: This app is a versatile image viewer/editor that features image transformations and adjustments. It provides a way to load many images at once and page through them using the left and right cursor keys. If you see an image that needs changing you can make the edits and save the image back to your computer. Of course you can open one image at a time to use the editing tools that the app provides.
The editor offers the adjustment and transformation features you expect in an image editor all on a single immediately available page. Nested menus are not needed. Basic editing is done quickly using simple buttons. The filter and color adjustment effects can be dialed back using a fade opacity slider.
It includes a system using two layers with five blend modes, an opacity slider, 20 levels of undo/redo, and the ability to invert colors and to swap layers. You can also open a new top layer — good for masks and textures.
Flow Painter: This filter is for creating digital art using its own built-in brushes or png brushes you can load from your local computer. It provides several adjustment sliders to apply a variety of artistic effects. Use the opacity slider on all these apps to adjust the strength of the effect.

Next are links to my roughly 1200 poems and my three versions of the Dao De Jing, all of which relate the outlook of that classic to Douglas Harding's viewpoint on headless seeing. The Dao haiku meditations were created by Claude AI.
