> Only an encrypted blind relay to allow for shared editing. The relay doesn't see any of the data. Would love to know more about how this works then? Is it more or less encrypted P2P?

This doc goes into more detail -

But basically when your bento HTML first gets saved, it generates a number of keys used for managing the permissions to join the Cloudflare DO. You can then send out an invite deck with a key that allow other people to join (with their own generated keys). With this architecture, you can revoke people's access, as well as giving them only read-access to the sharing session for example.

I recently did something similar with just asking claude to create me a presentation with GSAP animations. With a some nice features to embed apps, switch the language while presenting, etc. - it works like a charm: https://eos-lci.gitlab.io/eos-lci-presentations/klimabuendni... (all open source)

I really like your system. It is very similar to Bento in some respects, but I haven't seen any editing capability though. Thanks!

I’ve honestly been kind of surprised that large companies software hasn’t been recreated for free en masse from the use of AI in a weekend. I’ve definitely seen some cases but it’s not as common as I had personally expected.

In my day job, we have several teams doing this replacing mainly SaaS vendors. It's a easy sell and very low risk replacing basically CRUD web interfaces over databases.

Client side only and base64 compression tricks are a clever thread, and shameless self promotion but one I’ve been pulling with my dead but novel browser game [0] snibble.gg (tutorial sucks but once you get past it it’s fun to watch the bots play)

Basically everything is client side generated from a seed - entire games and their replays get stored in a tiny url - pretty much every possible game ever fits in a version 40 QR code

It’s snake X scrabble X PvP

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The concept that's MAGICAL in Reveal.js is vertical slides. e.g. https://revealjs.com/#/2/1 You just make one slide deck with lightweight high-abstraction slides and depending on the audience you just... hit the down arrow. bam. now you're inside the tech slides. no nerdy tech guys? sweet, don't hit down on slide 3. Instead you're with the marketing guys, so hit down on slide 5. Anyway - looks like you got rid of tha…

It'd be cool to add a third dimension to reveal.js decks. One of the transition animation options is "zoom", which visual effect is like going into / through the current slide. The Overview mode could be enhanced to show a 3D map (a stack of 2D layers). All kinds of fun mazes / games / interactive fiction use cases come to mind....

You guys are reinventing Prezi and I'm into it
