Untangle: Solving problems with fuzzy constraints
[]
Ink & Switch
Untangle relies heavily on spatial queries—finding symbols on the page by their spatial relation to other known symbols—which were inspired by: As a result, we can solve the examples nicely, queries are not composable, or abstractable—you can’t combine to the left and to the top to create the lookup query used in the coffee shop schedule, nor can you push the results from one query into another one to create reusable functionalities. Yes, we can narrow down the solution space, by reifying a result (“Sam has to review Steve’s paper”), or by adding constraints (“the wildcard can’t be the same as the contents of the box next to it”), but while Untangle allows you to “scrub” through results, it only ever shows one result at a time.
