Lapface was my weekend hack designed to give the feeling of working with other people. It takes a low resolution webcam shot every 3 seconds of you working. I made the image with slow fps to relieve you of the pressure that usually comes with broadcasting

It feels nice to have people working alongside you. I've had it described as a virtual coffeeshop where you see people in the ambient background

Let me know what you think!

It uses memcache for everything. It exports out state data to a static file on a cdn

This was an experiment in seeing how far I could get without using a traditional database
