I am sure I have seen the inspector window and clock demo in another project, which was a kind of Smalltalk-in-JS...? Every object had RGB axes when you clicked it, and the presenter showed how the inspector window itself was also an object that could be moved/rotated etc

Chris Knott You are likely thinking of LivelyKernel/LivelyWeb

Chris Knott 2021-06-08 14:40:31

Yes that's the one! I see now it's acknowledged here http://fizzygum.org/docs/similar-systems/

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27424496 ā€œWeb Applications from the Future: A Database in the Browserā€, not sure if this article+discussion related to local-first programming has been discussed here before, but saw it on HN frontpage just now. Iā€™m working on several local-first concepts and figured it would be of interest here as well!

Love the design of this game editor for Playdate. It features distinct views for different aspects of game design / development.

šŸ¦ Shaun Inman: In addition to the games I worked on Iā€™m also looking forward to seeing what everyone creates with Pulp. Draw sprites, layout rooms, pixel fonts, chip tunes, and script...well, PulpScript. All in the browser. Then play on your @playdate. šŸŒŸšŸ“™ https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E3YBCSNXoAAWZSK.png

Part of me has always wondered: is the reason I got into scripting and note-taking and tool-making just because the right RPG builder doesn't exist yet...

The aesthetics nail what it's going for.

Unison has added some interesting things in their latest release. They're storing the codebase in sqlite, with some objects stored relationally and they have overlaid a neat web based code browser. https://www.unisonweb.org/2021/06/03/m2-release/

my god what an amazing time to be working on data tooling. Seeing interesting prototypes every day:

Konrad Hinsen 2021-06-12 08:38:50

Indeed. But the reverse perspective is that's not such an amazing time to use data tooling, because it changes all the time and your choice of today may be obsolete and unmaintained tomorrow.

Also a funny thing to ponder: https://twitter.com/brantlymillegan/status/1402388184898621443?s=21

šŸ¦ brantly.eth: I say:

Down with a mess of accounts with weak user-generated passwords and sandboxed usernames owned by big corps (web2)

Up with secure private keys and portable usernames owned by users (web3)

It's the Internet as it always should have been

What is a password manager if nor a poor man's portable keychain? And while we're on the topic, can we divorce usernames and screen names, please?

I'd like to read more, this felt like it finished just as I was getting into it. I wish the references were hyperlinked. Particularly:

Are there any FoC people based in Oxford or Edinburgh that want to meetup?
