I HATE when I copy a link to something (like a #Slack join link) & they insert a bunch of junk in there! “Join me on Slack -- it’s a faster, simpler way to work. Sign up here, from any device: <link>“ 🤡 Not only is it obnoxious & unnecessary, but if you’re trying to hyperlink it breaks everything

The first ever practice of design craft should be, start by wireflowing the apps that you use What are those for y'all?

One thing that I want to do is build is a reference for myself that describes a bunch of apis, libraries with their human use case, like their jtbd. Same for UI primitives. So that you can hear a vague idea & be able to practice sketching out the entire end to end flow & discuss technical trade-offs

A Bridge Between Human Abilities, Software Capabilities and Interface Design' describing the Capability Atlas. Purpose: To build a practical translation layer between human needs, software capabilities, and interface design, bridging designers' understanding of user goals with engineers' technical knowledge through a shared vocabulary. Core Principle: Every technology gives people a new ability, described as simple 'Ability Statements' rather than technical language. Examples include: remember information, compare large amounts of data, understand speech, generate text, verify identity, detect location, synchronize devices, notify people at the right moment, search large collections, and automate repetitive work.

And speaking of Blacksky ... the code doesn't write itself, the servers cost money, and so does moderation & trust and safety. So please support Blacksky! Here's their OpenCollective link. opencollective.com/blacksky

Yeah in the blog post I made it a point to link to feeds on Blacksky (which is also where @getfisaright.net's account is hosted) ... it's really about the Atmosphere more than Bluesky. But, fedi has its good points too, the compare-and-contrast really is interesting to me!

Today, I'm excited to announce our next title! "Augment" is a forthcoming book featuring a collection of essays on the future of personal computing — specifically, on the kind we’d like to see more of in the future, and the ideas that might help us get there.

Augment is a forthcoming collection of essays on the future of personal computing: specifically, on the kind we as a species need in order to move beyond our stuck present, and on the ideas that will help us get there. This book is meant to serve as guidance and inspiration as we build a next generation of hardware, software, and systems. We hope you’ll share this page with those you think might write great essays for Augment, and even consider writing one yourself. Submissions are due by July 31. The technology field is today in a precarious state. A tsunamic tide of commercial thinking has managed the wholesale capture of practitioners, institutions, and dialogue. This capture has drained all imagination from our surround, and so actual invention has slid likewise near to zero. Along the way, the systems meant first to extend human reach have instead become dull and clanking manacles. Yet the same quality that makes technology easy to hijack — that massless, abstract ductility — leaves it as easy to re-form. The opportunity is still with us, undimmed, to build anew the beautiful thing, the powerful thing, the luminous thing, the human thing. This then is the invitation: to trawl a net through waters that, far enough down, remain idea-rich and that, with care, might still teem.
