My M1 Mac froze in the end (had to hard-reboot), but that was so much fun! I guess there’s a reason Figma uses WASM and a custom renderer, though I guess your implementation should work fine for most cases (i.e. not when all of HN are trying to edit everything simultaneously :^)

Two notes:

1. It would be nice if another person changing something unrelated to what I’m doing didn’t reset the focus for me.

2. WAY too llm-y copy both on the landing page and the example deck. Your HN submission text is way easier and more pleasant to read.

And huge kudos for releasing this as FOSS!

Thanks! I had to reset the guestbook because it's being spammed. It's on epoch 4 now, hopefully people will be better behaved moving forward!

1. Yes, that's a good point that somebody else raised also. It went pass testing as I was only testing with 1 or 2 other people at once. Will fix this tonight.

2. Yeah, agreed and fair point. But I don't write well and I don't have time between day job and being a dad. Will try to fix this gradually.

1. I’ve added the ⌘V remark on the first slide (it was the only way I could add anything in the previous epoch at all!). Hope it helps others have fun in the meanwhile.

2. Absolutely fair point, and it’s okay – the demo speaks for itself :-) Although if you wrote that submission text yourself, you do write pretty well! But obviously no pressure here.
