A high level but interesting write up of how Figma (a browser-based collaborative design tool) behaves like a file editor (their term), and how it overcomes the natural affinity of web apps to RDBMS-backed CRUD persistence patterns.

      That’s awesome! Perhaps I have a future in screenwriting? Too bad the SAG is still on strike.

    Upspin is an interesting project made, partly, in response to how modern web apps handle your data. It’s a way to get a named file interface to stuff that doesn’t expose files and directories (folders).
