Do you have such Jigs in software? if so what kind of jigs do you use? How do you use them?
I have been talking for years about a new social construct, a new structure of conduct. Things like Facebook, the Internet, and Bitcoin are the those that make it possible.
For several years I have been trying to tell people about this new construct that I envision - and each time using all sorts of terms that I find appropriate at that moment, depending on the listener, or depending on our geopolitical and socioeconomic situation at the time.
And I have realized in recent months that one of my mistakes is that I am trying to explain something new with old terms. Then the listener hears a term he already knows, and gets a sense of what it is and what it is not, even before I have time to say one word about my new idea!
So today you are exposed to a new word in Hebrew and English, this word is: "שבד" (Sheved) in Hebrew and "Tride" in English.
What is a Tride? Hopefully this already lights up some associations - by and large this is a Digital Tribe - as well as in Hebrew: שבט דיגטלי.
What does it mean? This means, as mentioned, a new social structure. I feed this structure between our private homes, and up to a city and maybe even a country further down the road - that is, on the order of people involved. The tride is designed to provide a cultural response to a number of unmet needs in our current society, including:
Community - people want to belong, but with our constant movement in space, moving from apartment to apartment, from city to city, from country to country we have a hard time finding the relevant community - community is in my opinion a very important element in our daily lives that we all miss, and there are cultures - like the religious and the ultra-orthodox, for who it is easier first of all under the auspices of the community, thanks to the fact that they have a rabbi who knows how to take responsibility and tell everyone in the community what he thinks, and help the community develop and grow.

Quick backstory: I've always wanted to create a different kind of code editor that encompasses several aspects of what I consider programming. I think it's started somewhere around the time Bret Victor had his famous talk - it blew my mind, seeing how he develops the game in real-time modifying variable and functions as he goes.
About three months ago, as the corona lockdowns hit, the company I just recently started working at collapsed due to lack of funding. I started working on a thing. It began when I finished with my ObservableHQ Coronavirus Stats (https://observablehq.com/@elisk/coronavirus-stats) and wanted to extend the table with more features.
Today I finally shipped what I consider truly first functional version of djit.su — a rudimentary yet-to-be-fully-defined tool that I designed in my mind for almost a decade, prototyped at least four different times in the last five years, and finally get to play with for the first time after building it for the past 3 months.
I've created a quick reference example for how to update the cell value from the react component - check it out here: https://djit.su/dBqYwddyuP42QRe — it might serve you as a good point to get an idea how to interact with djit.su as the documentation is non-existing at this point.
Any and all comments, suggestions, and recommendations are welcome.
