The "edge" didn't really exist at the time, along with concepts like cloud, serverless. I seem to remember that even CDN was an evolving architecture idea at the time. AWS et al had not yet turned web servers into a commodity

Is this supposed to be a touch/pen interface first? I'm trying it out with a mouse, and having many issues, like drawing of random lines as I draw, as well as losing lots of draw operations when it does a sync with the server.
