I manage the whole blog using git(hub) and the svg format is just perfect for that. The posts already render pretty well on the classic github md renderer: https://github.com/martin-lysk/martin-lysk/tree/main/blog/26...

I know svg to mp4 renderer exists but what would be your usecase for that?

Part 2 of my blog series on running SQLite databases directly on Git storage.

This post explores how to use zlib's Z_FULL_FLUSH flag to enable random access in Git's compressed objects, making it possible to read subsets of large files without decompressing the entire object.

I thought about forking the pwa - should be easy to add the same concept using https://developer.chrome.com/docs/capabilities/web-apis/file... but I didn't want to leave vscode

My goal is that it renders on GitHub as well as on my blog. GitHub doesn’t support css based dark mode afaik

Not what I needed - my concepts life in one excalidraw, containing multiple frames of interest like https://github.com/martin-lysk/martin-lysk/blob/main/blog/26.... The blogposts reference some of them like here: https://blog.lysk.tech/nfs3-event-side-channel

Author here: I use mermaid lot as well and for some things like process flows, and to model interactions it it outrules excalidraw and posts will follow where i need exactly that. but to visualize things high level i find excalidraw way nicer.

Great article - you mentioned "two most popular families of collab editing [...] OT and CRDT". One thing you should look into is the work of https://braid.org - Its combining crdt with ot. Work that is inspired by that build the basis of loro which allows to prune history (helping with the tombstone issue you mentioned)
