An Xiao Studio
the virtual studio of an xiao mina




Always carry your ruler

At IKEA, they distribute free rulers, pencils and pieces of paper to take notes on. Could this ever be digitized? App-ified? What if you could text in the orders you want, or type them into an app? Maybe all you’d need is a ruler, or would you?

Would people use an app like this? Seems like some things will stay analog (of course, they said that about the book).
