Computers can aid humans in our most noble endeavors: art, science, thinking, self-improvement. But today’s dominant computing platforms increasingly work against the needs of creative professionals.

Ink & Switch is working on this problem.

We have written about our research on

• asynchronous editing of rich text,
• digital identity,
• data ownership and collaboration,
• distributed schema evolution,
• tablet+stylus interfaces,
• end-user programming,
• building local-first software,
• new models in collaboration,
• the creative process, and
• software performance.

In addition to research, we also spin out production software.

• The beautiful Muse application, created by our friends and colleagues, is a spatial canvas to support deep thinking.
• The Automerge data-structure for building local-first applications is an ongoing collaboration with Martin Kleppmann.
