A figma plugin to position a hand puppet on top of some artboard, manipulating it.
Make anything look tangible. Take a pic of some abstract structure, configure hand pose by choosing where the fingers go, then the plugin projects the hands reaching toward the plane of the pic.
Similar effect to the scale figure people in architectural drafts

Hands Plugin for Graphic Abstractions


This is [Max Krieger](https://a9.io)'s "inquiry" page. I guess it's like a [Digital Garden](https://github.com/MaggieAppleton/digital-gardeners). But I'm not trying to upload my Second Brain to it. Just want to share some half-baked ideas. One source of inspiration for this was Kevin Lynagh's ["Collaboration ideas"](https://kevinlynagh.com/ideas/). See also Sharif Shameem's ["Questions"](https://sharif.io/questions/).

It was made with [Dendron](https://dendron.so).

Take everything I write here (well, everywhere) with a grain of salt. That said I'm always happy to talk about anything on here.

The pages definitely don't adhere to [Andy's Evergreen Notes](https://notes.andymatuschak.org/z4SDCZQeRo4xFEQ8H4qrSqd68ucpgE6LU155C) pattern, I hope one day they do.

Feel free to add [a PR or issue to the repo](https://github.com/maxkrieger/inquiry) to discuss any of these in public!

## Guide

Here are some of my favorite/extensive pages:
