Wow yeah very similar, thanks for sharing! I’ll have to dive into this. This person was way ahead of me having done this 8 years ago, I wonder how things have changed in that time and what they would change today. The vision they share seems very much inline with my perspective - unique, instantly shareable bite-sized content with zero associated storage cost. Great for usage in tweets, social media, internal communication, etc.
- kseistrup 4y agoWill it be open-source, I wonder? It would be cool to be able to use other servers/viewers just by taking the right-hand side after the /. It would also make it more resistant to censorship.
- throwaway413 4y agoIndeed, I agree! I will definitely be open sourcing this in the next week or two. Right now it’s all spaghetti code proof-of-concept (wrote most of it on my iPad touchscreen on the couch…laziness?) but I’ve already started cleaning and standardizing the pieces to be able to open source it all. The key piece will be the parser module + block component set, which I plan to release as a standalone package, so any app could render these Memlink strings natively and easily.
- kseistrup 4y agoGreat to hear it. And I'm glad that the concept has been re-invented, because I really liked the blinkots when they were still around.
