Community Strands
Strands are shareable node configurations that you can open directly in Nottawa. Browse creations from other users, get inspired, and share your own.
My name is Joe Crozier and I built Nottawa for you.
Software today is designed to take your money, data, and attention. I don't want any of that.
Nottawa's goal is to turn earnest musicians, creatives and dreamers' visions into a reality that can be shared and enjoyed. Nottawa is for everyone, especially you.
