## About this site (RobinDigishow)
RobinDigishow is a comprehensive upgrade of Robin Zhang's original teaching-focused DigiShow website. It was initiated and built by **Ino (一喏)** of **Curiousness Design (好奇设)**, who continues to develop the platform. **Guyu (穀雨)**, Robin's son, is responsible for the site's full maintenance, deployment, and technical support. The DigiShow content community and open-source culture are co-built by **Bowen (沈博文), Lucas (王一狄), Hao Rong (戎豪), Panda** and other co-creators.

The global co-creator community is likened to **Ophelia's shadow theatre (奥菲莉亚的影子 / Shadows of Ophelia)**: each person holds a fragment, and only when pieced together do they reveal what DigiShow truly is — linking everyone and growing different narratives. This platform exists not to define DigiShow, but to help everyone present "your understanding of DigiShow" and the creations made with it.
