Exactly right, and that's the core point. Users don't write PTL or ISLs. Let's say you have customer interactions (fetched from Zoom) or product/research notes. The AI structures that into PTL automatically. You see clean, editable notes and visual wireframes + high-fidelity prototypes and prompts. The structured formats exist in the background for token efficiency and interoperability.

Jim nailed the core problem. I've been building exactly this "missing layer" for past few months. The challenge isn't just connecting product decisions to code. It's that product context lives in a format that's optimized for human communication, not machine consumption. When engineers feed this to LLMs, they spend massive effort "re-contextualizing" what stakeholders already decided. I built TypMo (https://typmo.com) around two structured formats that serve as this context layer: PTL (Product Thinking Language)- Structures product decisions (personas, objectives, constraints, requirements) in a format both humans can read/edit and LLMs can parse precisely. Think YAML for product thinking. and Interface Structure Language (ISL) - Defines wireframes and component hierarchies in structured syntax that compiles into visual mockups and production-ready prompts. LLMs don't need more context, they need structured context. The workflow Jim describes (stakeholder meeting → manager aggregates → engineer re-contextualizes for LLM) becomes: stakeholder meeting → PTL compilation → IA generation → production prompts.
LEt's see where it goes!
I wanted a minimal tool to easily track, organize, and reflect on my reading—so I built one: https://bookstates.app. I'm familiar with StoryGraph, but aimed for something even simpler. (and with a sprinkle of AI)
Governance is always a bigger challenge than creation.
I made a simple iOS app for designers called as UX Assist. It has been around for 6 years now. I’m just happy that it’s out there and helping some folks now and then. [UX Assist](https://apps.apple.com/in/app/ux-assist/id1491649877)
First, not everybody will have interest in Math. And that's fine. Secondly, you need to be creative for teaching math, especially at a junior level. I think Lockhart gives a very good insight on this matter - http://www.maa.org/devlin/lockhartslament.pdf
This was more for basic understanding. There can be a follow-up article with a more rigorous approach :) The same was done here - http://functionspace.org/articles/17/Solving----sum----1----...
Guys, there's lot more here - http://functionspace.org/discussion/new :)
I will certainly not call it "cool"
This looks cool! We made something similar - http://blog.functionspace.org/news/2013/5/8/a-beautiful-read...
Related discussion here - http://functionspace.org/topic/32/On-application-of-Median-o...
Shameless Plug: There's a community for those interested in science, especially Math, Physics and Computer Science - http://functionspace.org
We have been working on the notes feature.It should go live within 2 weeks :)
You might find this interesting - http://functionspace.org/discussion/new There is lots of interesting stuff on Math, Physics and Computer Science
P.S -I founded it.
I completely agree that it traces back to educational issues. In fact, i recently wrote an article about this problem - http://aditgupta.me/post/what-is-17x13
Hey! The algorithms group is up!
The algorithms group is going to be active coming Tuesday :)

Thank you all for such an overwhelming response! I will deal with the sign-up issue ASAP. All other suggestions would also be implemented soon. :)
Thanks! I am considering some kind of tie-up with schools and colleges. I see that a mail has been sent to some emails. If you can send me your email id, I will cross-check it for you.
Thanks! It took me about 2 weeks to design and a month to develop. I left my full-time job for Function Space. My wife also helped me out with some ideas. The biggest motivating factor was my love for these 3 subjects. :)
Thanks!! Point noted! :)
Thanks!! Fixing it now! :)
Thank you!! I would also like to add that the content would NOT be greyed out for non-registered users and it would be licensed under creative commons :)
Thanks for signing up! And thanks a lot for positive criticism. I have noted your feedback regarding Lectures and Articles. Will surely implement it within few days! :)
I just launched it a week ago. So, things will surely change with time. How about something like StackOverflow? You can view everything, but to vote or answer you have to login. All this feedback is really going to help a lot! :)
I wanted to create a complete learning environment for these three subjects. So apart from discussions and articles, there are various other things like Video lectures, book reviews, problem solving techniques, subject groups and visualisations(which will soon evolve to virtual labs). Rather than quickly-learn,quickly-forget model, I wanted to implement a model that is based on solid understanding of concepts.
No need to pay. You can sign up within a few seconds and you're in! :)
