Bonsai and Scrapbox

  • Scrapbox is sometimes compared to a bonsai tree. Like a bonsai tree, we sometimes feel that Scrapbox has not been cared for very much and has been left to grow. The process of pruning and arranging a bonsai is similar to the process of organizing, duplicating and deleting information./unnamed-project/neko.icon

  • Metaphor polysemy.

    • After developing an image, then you can say, “Well, which one shall I choose as an expression of this place?” You have a larger vocabulary to express the image, and it’s easier to talk about it./unnamed-project/nishio.icon
