//// diii
Live-code iii devices from the browser: a REPL, the scripts on the device, an editor with the device's API, and a view of the device you can play.
what is iii?
iii is monome's Lua runtime that lives inside a device. Scripts are stored on the device and run there, so it plays on its own, without a computer: plug it into a synth, a phone or a power bank.
what is diii?
diii is the window into it, in the browser, with nothing to install: type Lua and the device answers at once, keep its scripts in an editor that knows its functions, see and play the device on screen, or wire blocks into a script in the patch editor without writing code.
