A high level but interesting write up of how Figma (a browser-based collaborative design tool) behaves like a file editor (their term), and how it overcomes the natural affinity of web apps to RDBMS-backed CRUD persistence patterns.
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

That’s awesome! Perhaps I have a future in screenwriting? Too bad the SAG is still on strike.

Upspin is an interesting project made, partly, in response to how modern web apps handle your data. It’s a way to get a named file interface to stuff that doesn’t expose files and directories (folders).
