I wanted to understand what a 2d canvas-based code editor and cloud development environment would be like, so I made Birch.
I published several blog posts about the process of building it:
2022-05-03 — starting birch
2022-06-28 — birch log: june
2022-07-13 — birch log: mid-july
2022-07-29 — birch log: open beta
2022-09-25 — rethinking birch
I gave a talk to demo and discuss some of the decisions that went into making it.
I also made red pear as a follow up.
