I think the last time I saw this it was a spinoff off a market trading application that was (at the time and even now) one of the most impressive web applications I'd seen. I can't remember the damn name though.

Cheers, it's "the Merchant" (https://vimeo.com/143728632) - it also started https://deepstream.io/ - this was one helpful app :-)

That's the one!

I was looking for it the other week to show someone what you can do on the web these days.

I made a panel "full", but cannot make it go back to its original size, I can only close it or break it out.

The "_" button works for me (i.e. the middle of the three breakout, minimize, close buttons). I expected it to minimize the window to a taskbar, like in Windows, but it restores it to the original size instead. I found this unintuitive but don't know a better icon.

Great library, seen it pop up here a few times. Slightly off topic, on the website it says: > "free as in beer, speech & love" ...In what world is beer free? ;) haha

Probably the same world where speech and love are free. :) Roughly: Free as in beer means you don't have to pay money to use it. Free as in speech means you have freedom to use or modify it in any way you want Free as in love means it will happily plays with all other software and systems

I've been on the internet for decades, and that phrase never sat well with me; Beer Money is a real phrase, and AFAICR I've always been required to tender a fee for the right to undock a beer container from the beer-temperature-control-apparatus or purge beer fluid from a heat controlled storage vessel.

"powerful persistence" and a picture of two floppy disks.

I'm in my early 30's and I haven't ever personally owned a computer that included a floppy drive. I did buy a USB one with my late 90's iMac, for compatibility with the school but I think you get my point.

Have you never been invited over and been offered to fetch yourself some beer from the fridge? It'd be weird for a friend to require you to tender a fee before doing so, and they'd also be quite annoyed if you started stockpiling the beer being offered to you and started reselling it. In my mind the phrase conjures the right frame of mind: "Hey! Check out this piece of code I've written, friend! Feel free to use it!"
