just this guy, you know? (director of research @ ink & switch, coined "local-first", contributor to automerge, former postgres guy, heroku staff, ex-game developer, arctic oceanographer.)
If you like a Beck track, have you caught this Beck collab with the Hinds? Different vibe but I'm never sad to catch him on a track. Found it in a random Spanish playlist.

IIRC we asked someone nicely for the automerge npm package name many years and they let us take it over. (Or was that a different project...)

Ah, cool! Is that data available as some kind of data structure, or do you literally just have to call their API for each grid point?

Love to see this work. Have you documented your process anywhere? I'm interested in the tools and infrastructure to support this work.

This particular project is not really local-first work at all. Ironically, it's the underlying collaboration and version control primitives that Automerge provides that we think are very applicable here regardless, and improvements to that technology will be -- shall we say -- dual-use.
