A rich text editor is a document system with a schema, transactions, selections, and identity — not a decorated <textarea>. That's why I built Seed's editor on ProseMirror. Full writeup: seed.horacioh.com/writing/rich...
It’s weird that we created open source to be free to fork and personalize however you want without any agreement from upstream, and then we created social norms where we shame people for doing that

I had an 'epic time' (his words, not mine ;p) today with @gabo.bsky.social and @eric.vicenti.net talking about augmenting human collective intelligence, the future of the internet, the open web, @seed.hyper.media and #atproto. And I made a point about AI I'd like to develop here 👇

You'd be surprised how few people see any problems with this slide:
DID is a great concept ("Decentralized Identifiers") But its a shame that the most common DID (the one used by Bluesky) is did:plc. And the PLC is centralized Ironic that the most popular decentralized identifier is centralized.

Structured argumentation tools like @seed.hyper.media are more potent than IRL Conversations. You achieve deeper, less emotional, and peaceful conversations. Knowledge emerges through the process, resolving disputes harmoniously. Great for open source software communities!
Happy 34th Birthday HTML tags! On October 29, 1991, the internet pioneer, Tim Berners-Lee, published a document entitled HTML Tags. #WebDesignHistory
ok welllll it looks like there really is no API for the issue tracker for the open source browser used by 90% of the people on earth
is there really no API for Chromium issues? surely i'm just not finding it, right?

The question is: how much decentralization must be compromised for the sake of user experience? The answer is simple: ZERO. We are not compromising!!!
This post by @dustyweb.bsky.social et al is an absolute banger files.spritely.institute/papers/imple... It has been a major inspiration for our implementation of "web of trust" in @seed.hyper.media Although, there is a slight mis-representation of Zooko's triangle. I should write about this...

Haha yeah it's "sort-of-Zooko's Easier to Explain Triangle" I guess We had a debate about it, I find the "human meaningful, decentralized, secure" analysis really hard to explain, because secure is so *vague* there, so I kinda pushed the version that's in there Glad you like the paper!
"The big questions of Local First" Incredible insights from @adamwiggins.bsky.social, @pvh.ca, @aaronboodman.com and @martin.kleppmann.com in our discussion panel. The ideals of Local First, where AI fits in, and how important offline support is.
