Huh I can't even use Microsoft Clipchamp without deleting files in OneDrive. This is desktop software, it really makes no sense. #BadUX #UXDesign #ProductDesign

3. Tricky architecture implications: each command needs to be 100% reversable, so when the command changes the state, each change needs to be tracked.

The remedy for each of the problems is to make the commands the same as diffs. Diffs are quick, deterministic, and reversable. Using diffs for history/syncing turns out to be a much simpler mental model.

The problems I ran into with command-based history/syncing: 1. It's slower: each client has to execute each command, this is bad if the command involves a lengthy calculation.

2. It's less deterministic: if the clients are out of sync in some way then a command might have different effects on different clients.

It's tricky to get undo/redo to work with multiplayer. I started with a command-based history/syncing system, ran into some problems, then decided to move to diff-based system.

So far with my infinite canvas I've gotten undo/redo working and I've gotten multiplayer working. Now I just need to make them both work at the same time 🤔

I deleted my Linkedin account but whenever I visit the site Chrome automatically logs me in with my Google credentials. This reactivates the account and I have to delete it again.

But before they let me delete my account they make me create a password. And before I can create a password I have to input a pin from 2 factor authentication. It's happened a few times now...

I built a SaaS product called pixel-art.ai a little over a year ago, now "pixel art maker" is one of the sample prompts in Google AI Studio.

You are up to date.
