 ==== Editor refactor ====
-Mason did a big [[https://github.com/FolkComputer/folk/pull/240|editor refactor]] that removes traces of the old "code view" terminology, cleans up the state, and makes the line numbers render more cleanly. Scroll also works better (retains more context)
+Mason did a big [[https://github.com/FolkComputer/folk/pull/240|editor refactor]] that removes traces of the old "code view" terminology, cleans up the state, and makes the line numbers render more cleanly (no more snapping around when you go from 1-digit to 2-digit line numbers + dynamic left margin so the line numbers don't take up a tiny or huge amount of space on extreme zoom). Scroll also works better (retains more context).
-This mostly came out of us trying to fix a bug where the scroll viewport was weirdly small on editor reboot (due to some race in the old way we were doing state).

+Some other funny line number situations we saw (and fixed) while doing the refactor:

+Now the editor feels pretty solid and comfortable across zooms, restarts, etc.

 I've just been doing each one by hand, but it feels like we now have a number of implicit variants:

 === folk2 launch party ===
-We had a [[https://partiful.com/e/Y5L66oPibgDt4PcRQptx|launch party for folk2]] on Friday, Dec 12. It was very fun. [[https://github.com/brianshl007|Brian Lee]] helped out, and Daniel came in from Utah to help out as well. Was a good way to bring people in who hadn't seen Folk in a while, announce nonprofit and folk2 updates, and force ourselves to make progress on public-facing niceties in the Folk system. (We probably made a couple months' worth of progress on little nits in the week before the party.)
