HearHere, our geospatial silent disco system, doing it's thang at my place. still some bugs to iron out but it's happening!!!
We published our 🏵️ June newsletter! Lots of new demos, friends, and capabilities added in June. See them all on our website: folk.computer/newsletters/...
I'm convinced a large % of programmers don't actually like computers. As a side effect, are also perfectly happy to throw away their register allocation to a compiler as soon as they can. I don't get it, at ALL. Don't you LIKE understanding the magic of the machine?

A diagram with various nodes and connectors? Yes, doable with pure CSS. Another demo powered by modern features! css-tip.com/node-connect... Regardless of the node's position, the connectors will adjust their shape and position for optimal connection 👀 Drag the elements and see the magic 🪄
ok I think I've really got this working. - rich text CRDT (peritext-based) - movable blocks with split & join, retaining provenance and collaborative editing - strong cycle prevention both for split/join and block nesting annnd just for fun I've also implemented multicursor in the demo (cmd+click)
