Cotemplate is a tool for creating “Megatemplates”: a template the size of the whole canvas which contains multiple independent templates.
This has two main advantages: teams can see where space is left when placing their artwork and users without a team who want to help various artworks can get the template directly without having to ask around for a URL.

You can find the Cotemplate for this year’s Canvas here: https://chocolatecakecodes.goip.de/cotemplate/ui/template/20260520-Canvas26_main

You can create your own team in the menu opened by the button top right. Everyone with the team credentials can add and manage templates of this team. Once placed, an image is visible for everyone (so outside the team too).
To login as a team-member you have to go to the login page.

I also want to highlight the following features:

  • Direct URL to the current megatemplate is copied into your clipboard when clicking the small clipboard icon in the top middle.
  • Individual templates can be (de-)selected in the list (opened by the button top left).

To the programmers who worked with Erlang and related languages (so targeting the Erlang VM): how was your experience?

I’m interested in the Erlang ecosystem but would like to know if its languages are hard or can be considered powerful modern languages (and possible easy, but not “Python easy”, I want to write efficient software with statically typed syntax).
Also, how mature is the ecosystem? Are there good frameworks to write scalable webservices with? Did you have fun using them and the language or was it more a headache-inducing experience?

So all in all what did you experience, in which context did you; and would you recommend learning an Erlang related language?
