After Voyager, Stein founded Night Kitchen to develop authoring tools for experimental electronic publishing, primarily TK3. Stein is the director of the . According to Stein: "The Institute has two principal activities. One is building high-end tools for making complex electronic documents (part of the Mellon Foundation's higher-ed digital infrastructure initiative).

This new scholarly direction is being explored under the umbrella of MediaCommons. In 2019 Stein donated his archival papers and hard drives to Stanford University. (en)
