In my late 20s, amidst the emotional turmoil of trying to figure life out, I had many intimate conversations with the universe.
In one conversation, I shared my dream to live at the top floor of a small apartment with a group of close friends...
...and to shape the primordial light of the big bang with our bare hands (a bit out there, I know).
Many years later, I went for a late night walk and thought back to that conversation.
I realized that my current profession, web dev, is shaping light into things that work.
The problem with modern web dev is the distance between idea and reality seems small at first, but closing that gap gets indefinitely postponed.
It's like sitting down at a typewriter, only to realize it's missing parts you have to build yourself from scratch, when all you want to do is write.
Hyperspace solves this by being the closest thing to shaping light with your bare hands that I've experienced.
It does this in a simple, yet elegant way: it allows HTML pages to overwrite themselves, turning each one into a malleable object.
It's my dream for the future of the web: easy to shape.
