openSketch provides modules that users can use to create, adapt, and refine collaborative browser-based applications. It includes a basic user interface for for adjusting parameters and executing functions such as downloading an .svg file. Using web sockets, it allows for bidirectional, low-latency communication with a simple web server. The opensketch framework can be used for a wide range of functional or creative coding applications such as art installations, animation, texting, drawing, social media, or games.
Looking forward to solving more design problems through research, iteration, and user centered approaches.
