Christian Tanul

An Almost-Serious 3D Multiplayer in the Browser: Rust, WASM & SpacetimeDB

I created the server-commands extension for htmx, which led to working with Carson on htmx 4.0. Since then I've been full-time on the project, redesigning the site, rewriting docs, and refining the codebase. I self-host all my experiments and pray my hardware doesn't die during live demos (again).

I have no idea what I'm doing

Army brat. I bounced around France and Tahiti before moving to China in 2005 to work in tech. I started a company, building apps for tens of millions of users.
