  • What Is a “Policy Imagination”? - Lawyers, Guns & Money Interesting for citation of mid-20th century “National Balance Sheet” model by Baxter.
  • Rough.js “Rough.js is a light weight (~8k), Canvas based library that lets you draw in a sketchy, hand-drawn-like, style. The library defines primitives to draw lines, curves, arcs, polygons, circles, and ellipses. It also supports drawing SVG paths.”
