Borderless digital collaboration, powered by _Prtcl

The Web was conceived as a tool for open collaboration. A place where people would share their best ideas with each other boosting collaboration, innovation, and progress. It would represent a change, so significant, that Tim Berners Lee, the creator of The Web, decided to coin a new term to describe this new way of human interaction. He called it "Intercreativity".

Intercreativity is about building together, being creative together. — Sir Tim Berners-Lee, 1997 — (source)

The Web has come a long way since then. It has significantly reshaped society at almost every level and it has shifted our society into a new era. However, Berners-Lee's vision is still to be fully realized. And the term he invented is still to become widespread.

Intercreativity, the project, is about facilitating Intercreativity, the phenomenon 😃.

How does it achieve this? The approach behind Intercreativity is actually based on some of the key principles that inspired Berners-Lee to create The Web. It then extends these concepts using today's knowledge and available technology:

• It works in terms of data objects instead of HTML pages and creates universal identifiers for each object.
• It is built out of reusable "UI lego blocks" to render these objects that can be integrated into multiple applications and platforms.
• It works with virtual objects, inspired in GIT repositories, that are not bounded to any single application or platform. We call these objects "Evees".

Below, you will find a detailed description of what makes Intercreativity different in practice, and how its features can be used as a powerful communication and collaboration tool. As a tool for intercreativity.

Note: Most of Intercreativity's features are actually provided by The Underscore Protocol (_Prtcl), the technology on top of which Intercreativity is built. Both _Prtcl and Intercreativity are developed by the same team.

Key Features

Intercreativity look-and-feel is similar to other recent content management applications like Notion, Confluence, or RoamResearch. But this similarity hides some fundamental differences between Intercreativity and them.
