Your monthly non-spammy-gif-heavy newsletter from your friends at oio.
Hello oio friends, another month has passed. 2023 kicked off with a banger of new changes and projects, still under wraps, but keep watching this space. Just like my cousin Roby used to say: the more newsletters change, the more they stay the same, or something like that. What does that even mean?
Oio news certainly did not change, although it might as we are hitting the ceiling of our Buttondown account. This and many more reasons to enjoy the present, and in particular this bundle of crunchy news from the oioverse, straight into your inbox.

Started as a research experiment, World Wide Walls quickly turned into a real Google Chrome Extension that allows anyone to literally write anything on any website. Leave your mark for everyone else to see: write, sketch, draw or just start doodling random nonsense. Some would say itβs digital vandalism, we call it π radical self-expression β¨ β while trying to make a point in the age of a tightly constrained creative space, we give web users the freedom to break out of the pixel matrix. (only on desktop tho)
