This takes me back to how we used to write JavaScript on websites for towns/cities at a company I used to work at. Really a joy to read.

The lack of multi-device support was a constraint that gave me a different perspective of interactions on the web. My ssb keypair was on a work laptop, so when I changed jobs and h…
