Making My First Go Contribution
summary
Adds live speaker-note support to the Go Presenter Tool, implemented by opening a child window with an iframe and syncing navigation via localStorage + iframe (WebSockets and postMessage are discussed but rejected for simplicity). Prototype works, review runs through Gerrit and the change gets merged after about a month of reviews by the Go team including Rob Pike. Code is small, reused present frontend, and is in upstream present for immediate use.
