The People Holding Up the Internet. Amazing to see how much of the modern internet still depends on the volunteer work of individual people. 4 billion phones rely on the time zone database, a text file edited by just two people in their spare time.

Editing uses CodeMirror 6 - I was going to use Monaco but that still doesn't have a great mobile experience yet.
