Yeah at present, people can see a film separately but still talk in depth about tiny details of it. When this tech is in place but new some conversations are going to get confusing. Once everyone is used to it it'll be a slight annoyan

This was so much fun and so easy to have a play around with. I found it to be incredibly intuitive - as someone who isn't musically talented but is curious enough to just try stuff out After trying out the "rock you" special

Partly for this reason, I've been considering starting an open source project to make a mobile-first Web based app/website development environment. That way, whenever I realise I'm distractedly using my phone (not just on the

(edit, typing into the box where the pictures happen is easy enough, it's just typing in the bottom box that is very awkward because of constantly scrolling back up to see tiny changes.) Sadly this is very difficult to play on mobile.
