@geoffreylitt @nschiefer @schickling Good luck with publishing! Our paper had 4 rejections---it was my first paper to be drafted and last to be published...

@geoffreylitt @nschiefer @schickling Love the idea! I explored something very similar with @joe_hellerstein, @arvindsatya1, @sirrice and Remco in --- we also treated the UI state as a query over event tables! We added remote DBs in addition to local DBs as well to support scaling.

@NotionHQ please reduce the latency in the concurrent editing experience? It's hard to workaround (harder than the other high latency when searching for docs...).

@MaineFrameworks @awelonblue Thanks Chase for remembering my project. Definitely related---temporal logic programming to help the developer coordinate state over asynchronous events---but not out of the box and still a research artifact.

The rise of metadata tools for data work corroborates Newport's new theory on productivity---the future of productivity is collective, not individual

Took us less than a day to think of, but five years (on and off) to get published😨🤦🏻‍♀️... A simple UI trick to work with latency that just won't go away!

@hen_str @ieeevis @FinaleDoshi @JessicaHullman @adamperer @Alvittao @LiangGou The link seems to be down? (the rest of github is up). Would appreciate a screenshot or something shared on twitter.

B2 also makes the interactive state available through APIs in Python and allow cells to be reactive to interactions (via cell magic)---make any code cell your own interactive widget!
