Last night the 11yo broke down the Google Slides middle school Chatroom for me:
1. At first they used a Google doc but the infinite scroll was too chaotic
2. In the slide deck each new slide is one “post”—some all text, some images, some both—
3. They use slides’ comments feature to “reply” to each other’s “posts”
4. This allows participants to easily flip between posts using the slide thumbnail navigation, so they can find the conversations they care about easily
5. He owns the file & if anyone spams it, deletes other people’s posts, or gets nasty, he can revert the file to its previous save state & remove the spammer’s access
6. He did share the file with me on purpose, I think because he was proud & wanted me to see what he’d made
Essentially they’ve created a chatroom with moderation in Google Slides, so they can get around the school’s ban on platforms like Discord. It’s kind of brilliant

Today I am starting my new adventure at @google! 😍
Joining Google Cloud Managed Prometheus Team, thus still staying in the #opensource, Prometheus and generally #observability ecosystem!
Very excited about people and everything I am about to learn here!🙈
If you're in Berlin, London, or Munich and you fancy hosting a @grafana & friends Meetup, please hit me up.
We'll be expanding our city coverage substantially over the year, so all other locations also gladly taken & tracked.
We are more than happy to help out with pizza money etc, of course.
Retoots appreciated as I refuse to advertise this on birdchan.
And a little bit about what people actually do with that code:
