Nice work! I’ve built a research prototype called Webstrates (webstrates.net) and recently created a local-first version: MyWebstrates (https://github.com/Webstrates/MyWebstrates).

I just tested your note on it, and it works nicely.

Here’s what I did: I copied the HTML of Nash, went to https://my.webstrates.net, created a new blank webstrate, opened Developer Tools, and replaced the entire DOM with the Nash HTML. Now the content persists across reloads.

To enable real-time collaboration, run this in the console:

webstrate.addSyncServer('sync.webstrates.net')

Then share the URL: https://my.webstrates.net/?s/<document-hash>@sync.webstrates...

Now it’s live-editable with others!

Webstrates works by storing and syncing changes to the DOM.

With the chance of killing my sync server, here's a Nash note on MyWebstrates: https://my.webstrates.net/?s/41W5owzLg94wDQAin4yJXGnFyKWN@sy...

Wow, this is really cool.

I should remember it later and study more.

I came to say exactly this. I was sucked right into this. I am looking forward to reading more thoroughly and understanding it better.
