Embark: a computational outliner for travel
summary
Embark is a prototype outliner that treats apps as reified data, computations, and views, letting a single document hold freeform notes plus live references to maps, hourly weather formula forecasts, routing APIs and simple arithmetic (distance × €0.30 + €25/day). The system offers repeat automation that infers patterns to insert formulas across days, color‑coded map markers and in‑outline calendar and map views. Demo visibly crashes during the session but recovers; the prototype supports weekend plans up to multi‑week RV routes.
