Review of Lino

Lino Reviewed 10 Aug 2009 · Average score 55%

Summary

This site really has to be enjoyed with the use of the mouse, dragging and dropping, reshaping and changing. It is possible to read the results in a text browser but it is not ideal for this type of dynamic content. Take away the style sheets etc and really the site is unusable but it is a highly visual and tactile type of interaction with ideas which can help memory skills.
