By the way, here's the latest version of "Area to left", which is very handy for working in someone else's area. Type in, e.g., "***" and hit enter, and you're there!

It reminds me of the "supporter maps" we were playing with last year:That's in Supporter Kit as "Mapping supporters", if you want to take a look and incorporate anything from that. I don't know how well it's working these days (in particular, I don't think our appearances support "fps" anymore, and full fps will overload our network, so that would have to be looked at). But I think having the boxes in the map be wormholes worked really well.I think being able to point at things through the map could be useful -- probably not dragging pages around as in the video, but just being able to point at a spot on the map and have a dot or something show up on the actual supporter. Like a virtual laser pointer.On Apr 15, 2022, at 3:36 PM, Luke Iannini wrote:Here's a tool I made for me and Shawn's weekly Realtalk sessions that I hope will be generally useful!You can grab a copy from Distant minimap (37608) and Distant page (37607)Some notes I forgot to mention in the video — Shawn and I tested a prototype of this the other day and it streamed illuminations as smoothly as you see here on my local network! It only properly handles a single distant supporter in this edition (I think multiples will just overlap on the minimap); I know how I want to make it work for multiple supporters but I already had it perfectly squeezed down to 53 lines for a landscape 8.5x11 page haha. And it would be good to add a toggle of some kind to let the distant site opt-in to letting people peep their pages, but I trust us to be polite : )
