Hi, I'm looking for a full-stack web developer for what I estimate to be 3 months of work on web-art project Your World of Text. Your World of Text is infinite text wall where people can write and overwrite each other in realtime. You navigate by scrolling, and the available space extends infinitely in every direction. Private worlds can also be created. Launched in 2009, Your World of Text been taught in new media curricula and remains one of the most popular web-art projects, with over 100,000 visitors per month.
Your big tasks will be browser performance, multi-user scalability, and fighting spam. Smaller tasks tbd. If the initial engagement works out especially well, I'm open to the possibility of a longer and more open-ended engagement.
