FIELD NOTES ON THE SUBJECT
Shyam is a hobbyist app creator and digital artist based somewhere with good Wi-Fi.
He makes things. Some of them work. All of them are finished, which is unusual for this genre of
person.
He has strong opinions about dark mode. He will not share them unless asked. He will share them if not
asked.
"What if the app just... knew what you wanted?"
[The app did not know. Nobody knew.]
