I'm happy to announce that the WebXR Community Forum is now live! If you've been wanting to join a community of other WebXR developers but prefer forums to realtime chat apps like Discord, I'd highly encourage you to stop by! https://www.webxr.community/
This project is taking everything I have
I’m making tons of progress, but this much work on a single project is exhausting.
Note to future Joe: you do your best work when you work on multiple unrelated projects in different tech stacks.
Some personal news:
TL;DR
I’m bisexual.

If you're a person (or know a person) who would like to own a piece of alternate timeline computer history (in which Vannevar Bush built this prototype) then let's talk.
I'm paying to store my full size Memex and that's silly so it's time to find it a new home. Here's a pic of the kid and I after we finished it *in 2014*. More details (including a demo video) are here: https://trevor.smith.name/project/memex
I came up with what I think is a clever way to keep a dev log on a project using the tools that I like to use, without having those posts spoil the jokes in the project I'm building.

I just added super-secret blooping to my website for this project.
I can use Bloops to post updates and thoughts every day, but not one will stumble upon.
Once I launch the product, I'll push these to the main feed for anyone who wants to read about the development process.
