Wild, wild tech | Katherine Yang

An account of our panel at AWP 2026!

the same text with edits visible vs edits obscured, all powered by `<ins>` and `<del>` and CSS
@kayserifserif WOW, love this!
@jasonsantamaria thank you!! i was surprised at how relatively straightforward it was to implement, and using semantic elements too! i feel like there are lots of typographic possibilities to play around with :)
@kayserifserif In a past life @beep and I were part of a group that worked on a collaborative writing app that tried to show inline diff edits, so I love to see different approaches. Yours feels so light and smooth to read. 👏
@jasonsantamaria @beep oh that's so cool, i had no idea! is it still around or is there any documentation of it?
@kayserifserif @beep @kayserifserif No longer online, but there are screenshots to be found. Ethan has some good ones in his work section: https://ethanmarcotte.com/work/editorially/
Editorially — ethanmarcotte.com

In 2012 I cofounded Editorially, a collaborative writing and editing platform. Working alongside my cofounders Mandy Brown, Jason Santa Maria, and David Yee, we designed Editorially to be as responsive, as fast, and as accessible as possible.

@jasonsantamaria @kayserifserif also what jason said!

@beep @jasonsantamaria @kayserifserif This is really cool to see, Katherine. I was intrigued by @latte recent explorations into putting captions on top of images, and this feels like an equally and magically useful task.

@Luke @beep @jasonsantamaria @kayserifserif love all of this!!

hehe so timely, i used ins/del for the first time the other week in a draft, for the purpose of making jokes :’) agree so much potential for showing inline edits to really bring a document to life. html is so cool

@latte love love LOVE this, del/ins might be in my top 5 html tags tbh

(a totally fine and normal list to have, why are you aski

@beep wait top 5 html tags would make a banger list. subscribe
@latte —uh oh i should make this huh

@beep @latte — I’ll do it if you do it!

(Also, concurrences on Editorially — I still miss it — and the ins/del approach! Totally riffing on this, with credit of course.)
