I added real time collaborative editing with presence markers to a web app in about 2hrs with Claude Code and OSS. Just a few years ago this would have taken a team months. I’ve been following CRDT tech for a while so have slightly more than a clue, but yeah, 2hrs…pretty fun. #limitless

25 years ago, on a clear September morning, an otherwise ordinary day became one of history’s darkest. Through the darkness, we also saw the best of humanity.

We just released the first stable version of iroh, v1.0! Read about it: www.iroh.computer/blog/v1 We're super proud of where we landed with iroh's 1.0. Since version 0.35 it feels like we've entirely replaced the "engine underneath". Are you a fellow key-dialer? Come tell us how you use iroh!

Once I got over the amazement of @iroh.computer 's reliable encrypted P2P connectivity, the next unlock was the ease of protocol stacking (and the modularity that affords).

Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast)
