here, be blown away https://github.com/opral/monorepo/tree/main/lix

solving version control for files like jupyter notebooks brings collaboration to those files without the need to give up files in favor of the cloud. playbooks could leverage lix in 1-2 years to build a file-based version of their tool

this is quite interesting. I'll surely keep it in mind while we build out deeper collaborative features.!

Wow, yeah. "Bringing backend features to files."

This feels a bit like that time we saw Etherpad playback for the first time. I'm just not sure if I've grokked the big picture yet.

big picture is that cloud-based apps/saas is getting disrupted.

there is no value in a cloud-based solution that locks users and customers in if collaboration can be solved in the data (file) level. turns out that version control solves collaboration on the data level and is awesome to build apps.
