1. ReasonML, ReasonReact, Mux, roomservice.dev.

2. Exporting our web "video" to .mp4, and keeping media in sync.

3. Better timeline & canvas editing features (plus some organisation features, for people with lots of videos)

4. Loom, mmhmm (at least for the non-live aspect), and slide decks.

Roomservice is incredible for adding multiplayer mode to any app. Very cool to see you using them.

What was the reason why you picked Reason over something like TypeScript (both of which transpile down to JS AFAIK)?

Just curious.

I've been using Reason for a couple of years in personal projects and I really like its fast compiler, type system, things like variants, modules. I didn't have OCaml experience before but to me it feels like being able to program in a very mature programming language while still being able to target JS. The community is great as well. Also refactoring code has never been easier in my opinion. That's why I also decided to use it for Tella.

I've used TypeScript a lot in the past as well, and I'm not against it at all. You can do a lot of the things you can do with Reason in TypeScript. But I do have the feeling Reason makes me a lot faster than when I worked with TypeScript.
