Hi! Just tried out membrane.term, this is really cool. I had no idea membrane was able to do all this. To me, the scope of membrane seems extremely ambitious. "a narrow waist of GUI programming"? (to borrow some Unix terminology [http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/taoup/html/ch01s06.html#id2877537] [https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2022/03/backlog-arch.html] Do you think it's going to work, @smith.adriane?

@teodorlu , I started working on membrane because I couldn't build the kinds of apps that I wanted to build with the existing tools. I'm now at the point where I can start building the apps I'm interested in building. There's still a lot of work to do, but it seems to be the right direction. I'm even more convinced that building UIs without a sane data model infested with state is untenable in the long run.

I finally pushed the code for the "spreadsheet"-like prototype I've been working on to github, https://github.com/phronmophobic/spreadsheet. It's unpolished and mostly undocumented. It seemed like @chromalchemy and @ben.sless were curious to try it. https://twitter.com/phronmophobic/status/1495102204520263680?s=20&t=3taMCer_EP2tOU5HEkQYrw
