A single-serving waterhole in the Namib Desert using Remix

What's this blog post about?

The text describes an interesting single-serving website called "waterhole" that features a live stream of a waterhole in Namibia, accessible through YouTube by NamibiaCam. The author often has the live stream playing in the background while working at their desk in London due to matching time zones. The ambient sounds and occasional animal sightings provide a sense of presence and relaxation. The website is built using Remix, a full-stack web framework for React apps, and hosted on PartyKit, which handles multiplayer aspects like chat and asset serving. The author encourages others to fork and modify the open-source code available on GitHub. They also suggest potential future projects such as creating a shared jukebox by syncing playback state and video URLs between clients using PartyKit.
