It all started with my wife encouraging our kids to write strokes in the correct order. Since screen time is limited, I wanted to create something valuable and educational. Inspired by Apple's 'Hello' and calligraphy, I developed this writing tool. To foster a soothing environment, I added a musical element.
During a walk in Bishan Park, I saw someone practicing calligraphy with a wet brush on the floor. The ephemeral nature of the writing, which disappeared after a while, sparked an idea. I incorporated this impermanence to emphasize that calligraphy is about the moment, gesture, and satisfaction of the perfect stroke – not just the end result.
I hope you enjoy this 'protoplay' as much as my kids and I do! Press C to clear, S to save, and M to mute. Your feedback and suggestions are welcome!
