(blog author here) If you're interested in the multiplayer cursors + cursor chat, my philosophy is that every web page deserves to be a place, and pages should feel busy if lots of…

The reason I ask: there's a story about a physicist who was so kinaesthetic in his thinking that somebody walked into his office to find him rolling around on the floor, trying to …

(blog post author here) I added Quiet Mode because of the feedback last time one of my posts hit HN, it was chaos haha (btw you can hit / to enter cursor chat, it's fun if a bit di…
