we will be what Rome could have been had they started multiplayer first
with every curation and every connection we will weave a human curated graph of the best knowledge on the internet
We can do one better than that
start with Personal first build interest based co-curating social trust networks
with global reach and sicoverability
so that People can always find the Other and colaborate
that feeling is a feeling of having a party for your brain
where everyone's invited to the dance with you it's the feeling of being in a space that is deeply personal yet communal and connected it's combining the focus and utility of a productivity tool with a sense of aliveness and connectivity of a social network
we know we can do this because we understand that this is about nailing a feeling
not a checklist of features
ambition is to build a social tool that is actually good for Humanity
powered by a freemium model not an advertising one
on the path to attention-based monetization
these platforms have compromised much of their usefulness to people the business model of platforms which rely on clicks and engagement and advertising means we're trapped in a profitable state of anxiety envy and distraction
my belief is that on the path to attention-based monetization these platforms have - compromised much of their usefulness to people
the business model of platforms - which rely on clicks and engagement and advertising
means we're trapped - in a profitable state of anxiety - envy and - distraction
we actually really need something like social networks
the right question is - ? why is there nothing in the top right
the right question is why is there nothing in the top right

rewarding when other people are watching is a trap
the organizing principles of these networks likes retweets is Vanity and to live a social life that only feels rewarding when other people are watching is a trap
right hand corner you have the major social networks we use today

I think Twitter Instagram tick tock tools are social they're networked they're alive there's discovery but they've compromised much of their usefulness for people in these spaces
not building extensions of ourselves we're building ads for ourselves
bot extensions of ourselves but ads for ourselves

Peritext: A CRDT for Rich-Text Collaboration (2021)
Ink & Switch is an independent research lab working on this
I've been following the work of inkandswitch, an independent research lab for the past 4 years, Attended two of their presentations at Fission Show and Tell calls. I encountered their work on Local-first software a year after I've discovered OrbitDb as the best in class technology for developing personal first interpersonal networked thinking tools. It was great to see other people converging on the same possibility
much of their output presents a systematic treatment of the same problems that we are working on
This is a comprehensive proof of the idea that problems define their own solutions
As I am engaged in bringing into a coherent working system all these ideas I find it helpful to revisit their work.
Building on this work is accelerating our work as it allow us to focus on articulating those aspect of our current work that goes beyond theirs and incorporate and reference much of their work and make contributions that accellarates the development of shared goals.
Dynamic documents as personal software
