  • Project mention: Our tools shape our selves | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-04

    reply

    I disagree. There are so many creative tools that are now online that you can access from your browser that were not envisioned in the original web. It is obviously true that not EVERY website is about creation (but to expect that seems unreasonable?), but even Wikipedia is a collaborative project.

    Examples include products from big vendors like Adobe's Photoshop, to smaller products like SketchUp, to more indy generative art tools like https://processing.org and Strudel (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39924210).

    You want to use the official Ordinals protocol "Ord". You also want to try and follow the process for a "text" ordinal and do a test mint to confirm the BRC-20 indexers are properly interpreting the output of your Ord terminal as BRC-20 tokens. Once you get one respected by the indexer, repeat that process in Ord. https://github.com/ordinals/ord
