4 years ago today an idea was published for Stacks: break the chain into composable layers anyone could build on.
so i built it. it's live in public beta, free and open → secondlayer.tools
(the idea was project kourier, by @aulneau. 4 years on, full credit to him.)
earlier this week, we were tasked with building a collaborative whiteboard for our first @gauntletai
project.
so naturally, i went a step further and decided to build a liveblocks alternative.
introducing Lively lively.waits.dev
10 packages.
crdt sync engine.
40+ hooks.
ai is legitimately wild. i use it daily. this isn’t a “nothing to see here” take.
but the leap from “this is powerful” to “your job is disappearing” skips over the most important part.
what people actually do when things change. people aren’t static. neither are markets.
