How we learn to code together remotely

" summary

Study group moves online and tests many formats: small sessions (typically 5–10 attendees) land back on jitsi meet for reliability, while experiments with Mozilla Hubs show useful spatialized voice but confuse non‑gamer attendees. Collaborative notes use hackmd; code of conduct moderation and captioning are essential. A side project builds a “clap detector” with Teachable Machine → TensorFlow, exported to an Electron app that calls robot.js to type a clap emoji; model trains on ~80 background samples, works in real time but is currently macOS‑only.
