Dan Hon reminds his readers of Layer Tennis:
Ben Hammersley [tweet] and Anil Dash [tweet] both chimed in later to remind me about Layer Tennis, which used to be both a website (perhaps initially community run, and then unsurprisingly and smartly sponsored by Adobe) and then a live event (Ben’s got a photo from 2009).
I was merely an utterly unskilled, unworthy spectator rather than a participant, but it's still good to be reminded of something that used to be fun on the internet even though its' days have passed. I see the last season of Layer Tennis was back in 2014.
I assume that sort of thing still goes on, but not necessarily in public.1

- I see from Wikipedia that Worth1000.com, a take on the same general concept, is no more, stopping in 2013 and becoming a static copy of some of the content. Not surprising, but still a little bit of a shame. ↩
