Hi! I’m one of the founders of s2.dev, and recently have been hacking on opbox, which is an open-source daemon that turns directories of text files (code, markdown, etc) into collaborative, multi-player workspaces.This started as a bit of an intellectual curiosity, to see if it was possible to do real-time sync at the filesystem level (i.e., in an editor-agnostic way).The idea is pretty simple: - Opbox workspaces are roughly analogous to git repositories (and can be used alongside existing git repos, to share live changes between commits) - When the opbox daemon is running in a workspace (ob start), it listens for local filesystem events within its directory (writes, deletes, new files), and

Its activity falls under show hn launch; the profile below is assembled from public directory data.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
