> Play with it! Click/drag everywhere.
It looks cool! But man is it frustrating that nothing is consistent. Some things change when I click. Some things change when I drag. Some things seemingly doesn't do anything at all.
If it is intentionally like that, great. But I just don't find the experience pleasant.

They have one of the best articles out there, and now the page is great too. Fun and innovative.
My favorite article, in case you haven't read it already, is local-first [1], or I recently read the embark, dynamic documents for making plans. These always give me so much inspiration.
Their articles are always worth a read, especially their efforts on CRDT are a great inspiration for improving UX. Not sure I’m getting the full experience of this homepage on mobile though, will have to check later.

Have you played the arcade game in the letter C yet? If not, then you've probably missed other stuff as well.

They are also some of the folks behind the Local-first conference.
There’s still currently the need of a server to synchronise data between Allume clients (Mac + iPad + iPhone companion app), but it is completely useable offline on one device. Adam Wulf, the now solo developer of it, mentioned that a local P2P sync is in the pipeline.

Ink and Switch's stuff always makes me want to go rebuild something, and the homepage being playable is very on brand for them. Curious how much of it is bespoke versus falling out of their own Automerge tooling.

What do you mean by that? To me it seems like every single letter is pretty much hand-written and attributed to one or two team members.
