Very good conversation from @essentialrandom.bsky.social if you're working on standardizing lexicons.

During DWeb Camp 2026, D:food Fellows and attendees gathered their thoughts and feelings in the Seedbed tent. 💭 Now, the Seedbed Harvest has travelled to DWeb Camp Cascadia with Jenni Ottilie Keppler. 🌱 If you are there, take some time to go through this visual and written journey. It’s worth it!
ANNOUNCEMENT: I’ve been working on putting together something between a retreat and a hackathon for #atproto builders for the past several weeks. I’ve been in discussion with potential funders and some funding has become available to make this a reality. now, I need your help!! KEEP READING 👇🏽
I need a bsky like search engine with infinite knobs, I'm sure one exists, anybody know it?
Working on a new layout system for television.run (design prototyping is very fun right now)
Seems like the collective is moving in from markdown editors to issue trackers. I expect we'll see a lot more (if we haven't already)
Happy Friday! I've been building towards an "Atmosphere OS", where my atproto account is the identity layer on a real phone. I wrote a little bit about it here:
On an Atmosphere OS
What if an Atmosphere account could handle email, groupware, and device-level identity without putting Google or Apple at the center?

We can blame venture capital for a lot but organizing in tech has taught me that not only do we have (and choose to surrender!) power; we need to do more and teach more. People aren’t dumb nor are your bosses or project managers.

It's-a me, 3D CSS Mario! 🍄 ⭐ I'm recreating Giles Goddard's iconic N64 face engine, so we can use it on the web. The rendering is handled by CSS matrix transforms, without WebGL or canvas. demo: codepen.io/alowpoly/pen... repo: github.com/layoutit/css...

OK one of the greatest things IA've ever built. Bi-directional SVG source code editing. Drawing as programming with programmable drawings. *this* is how I want computers to collaborate with me. Ordinary SVG with a plurality of editable views. tomlarkworthy.github.io/lopebooks/no...

kat excellence ✨@katexcellence.io · last wk.in our post-sangha discussion, we talked about how large companies and The State have a vested interest in making us believe in the "inevitability" of their world view but we know each point of time has infinite possibilities
one configuration of formal methods. that could work — use an agent to build a formal spec on the fly, based on what the code *actually* does, and use that to prove liveness, correctness, etc. i could see that working well
You need the code to be the mechanical verifier. Property tests, deterministic simulation harnesses. The spec isn't a source of truth, it's a documentation of intent. It still helps imo
mr. TIM@timkellogg.me · last wk.i’m not actually sure this is true. Meaning that spec-driven dev & formal methods haven’t been picked up and there’s probably a reason for it mainly: it’s cheaper & easier to use the code as the single source of truth rather than let specs & proofs diverge from the code
