I've been (hotly) debating this with myself today and I _think_ this is the right decision for an app.
note that I'm not changing the font size in the docs; that I think is valuable to have be user-controllable, but I'd really prefer if users would see the app the way _I_ design it to look

this is quite common in other apps with an infinite canvas - such as Miro
also on laptops middle-clicking is a pain in the ass, though we should add more proper touchpad support for that case
error handling shows you the error and offers the ability to reload;
disconnect handling shows you that the page will reload in a few seconds.
it uses exponential backoff with some random sprinkled into it to prevent overwhelming the server once people's clients decide to reconnect.
you could paste discord convos into it.
discord.
conversations.
and they'd render.
like in Discord.
lmao.
I still do wonder how to do syntax highlighting on it, but I've seen prism-code-editor, which I _think_ hides the textarea's text and overlays a non user-interactable syntax highlighted version on top.
what's cool is that we could theoretically have many such overlays - for things like highlights too
but we'll see how that goes
it's probably okay, but it's incredibly easy to read localStorage from the frontend and get a hold of the secret
would be nice (would it?) to have more proper session tokens I guess but we're not doing that right now
I'm not entirely sure if generating the password on the server is legit like this, but it leads to an incredibly frictionless experience and I'd like to keep it. if possible.
I don't really see a difference compared to password managers generating passwords for you and showing them in plaintext
obviously actual passwords are stored within the manager which requires a master password, but like. do we really need that. the secret isn't shown to the user and it's very long.
too bad the browser secure storage API or whatever isn't ready yet
