I wrote a screenplay for a programming language introduction

I absolutely love this- on the topic of the motion comic itself, it's a really nice accessible intro to the language.

Would love to see some examples of things built with origami, the comic explained the language concepts really nicely, but my imagination doesn't quite stretch to knowing how types of things the language makes easy. Seeing some examples in practice would really help!

Origami is a really elegant utility/language with a lot of interesting ideas. It still feels like a tool for a more technical audience—maybe it would be good for AI agent orchestration? The stated audience of non-developers who know HTML and CSS and want a code-oriented SSG [0] is simply non-existent. I know Jan is working on marketing, so I strongly encourage him to define a more realistic user profile/ICP which is based on talking to real people.

  [0] "Origami is designed for you: someone who wants to make a site for yourself or a small organization, who can HTML and CSS, who’s not a professional developer — or is, but wants to build sites more quickly." -<https://weborigami.org>

after scrolling through the comic, my takeaway is origami seems really cool! it seems philosophically similar to flask: innovative ergonomics with flexible deployment and un-opinionated structure.

Feedback as someone who didn't know anything about Origami ...

I jumped directly into the motion comic and was quickly immersed into the terminal, syntax and command examples ... without first being told WHAT is Origami in the first place and why were are doing the various steps being shown in the terminal, leading up to what goal/result.

Had to back track, go to the Origami website and read this subtitle to make sense of it ...

> Complements HTML, CSS, and JavaScript so you can build complete websites

wow this is really cool! I started getting the hang of things "/" means the object itself, "/path" is how you can refer to stuff inside objects.

Starting to think.. what else could we use it for?

Now make it a musical.
