Nice! It's my understanding that the default method used by Neil requires a fixed polling interval, and thus updates are limited to every 100ms or so. Did your implementation get around that?

Here are three use-cases: 1. You are editing documents locally on your computer. This lets you double-click to view nice markdown in a web browser with a `file://` url. 2. You are editing a website, but don't have control ove

Good point -- it would actually be simple to combine IndieWeb + Mastadon and solve this problem. IndieWeb's solution is to own your own domain: https://indieweb.org/personal-domain . If you control your DNS, you can mo

Morgan Dixon implemented with me once. Be aware that as define, it is limited to updating at a fixed polling interval. So you don't get updates as each party types; you have to wait for the round-trip sync update every 100ms (or what

Exactly. It's called "revealed preferences" in economics: the theory that what humans value (their utility function) is revealed by their behavior -- what they choose to spend time on.
