Wish I had the time to take part in this. 11yrs later and still nobody has actually made the tools demoed in Inventing on Principle

That is because it is easy to build demos. Working tools that do the right thing in the general case are really hard.

This ^! Demo helps show the vision, but making this happen likely means re-thinking every part of the stack to support this principle of “show your guts!”

Only thing I'll add is: it's really easy to turn a demo into something that works for you! Unfortunately nobody believes me because they can't experience my things working for them 🥲

My hunch is that it's not that hard to make most of the demos "real" in the sense of being real implementations which share the limited scope from IoP

I meant it as, "something useful to me in my life." It's true that not everything is easy. I'm still far away from reproducing https://www.inkandswitch.com/potluck for myself: https://merveilles.town/@akkartik/109293317013542368 But I'll get there. More generally, I think "working product for myself" is an excellent intermediate step between "demo" and "multitenant product". And going by https://futureofcoding.slack.com/archives/CLYCGTCPL/p1680027205608979?thread_ts=1679949636.443929&cid=CLYCGTCPL, it's possible that's all we need.
