A tool that was designed to be optimized and practical for applications. Utilized many of the concepts from HTM, but removed many things that we couldn’t understand or detracted from the application-oriented focus.

History
Initially announced BrainBlocks to the public on the Numenta forums with this post:
Released an update with this announcement:
Since then, has received minor updates but no real public updates.
Issues
Currently lacks a lot of documentation on how to use in a proper and effective way. The programming library also has some non-intuitive quirks that need to be fixed.
Wishlist
BrainBlocks is a currently unexploited resource for making some interesting research and producing publications. Lacking time and shifting priorities has unfortunately delayed further progress.
Look at this template for describing a project. I just gave it a basic organization off the top of my head. Please feel free to create your own or expand upon this one.
I’d like to eventually settle on a standard for describing projects that act as pinned descriptions and topic headline for all discussion on a project.
