This reminds me of the early web. Those DIY websites had the same playful and convivial quality.

I used to work for a company making a bet against live collaboration in spreadsheets. I now see the error in my ways. A spreadsheet party in Excel would just be a nightclub that one person can enter at a time.

Office 365 online has a pretty decent multiplayer Excel setup - it has limitations but in general it works pretty well. Great for document reviews/edits (works for Word and Powerpoint as well).

This is very similar to what we are trying to do with Sidewalk. Anonymous names, chatting with people on the extension or on any specific domain or page. People seem to like the concept although we haven't reached PMF yet.

That's what Google wave was supposed to be.

Love it! Hopefully it takes off as a thing in the second half of pandemic lockdown madness.
