I post about local-first, future of computing, protocols, education, and, recently, AI engineering. Once they add gifs, I’ll post more “build out loud” threads. https://bsky.app/profile/jessmart.in

Over the past few years, I've worked on and used a bunch of different frameworks to try to solve for distributed state. Jazz feels like it has the right "shape" - the right primitives to quickly build an app with magical powe

I am unreasonably excited about Safari PWAs on macOS. This is a very good start. Some of my favorite details from the article: > Different from iOS/iPadOS, credentials in cookies are copied over, so if you were logged in when runnin

Same request. I really struggled to use it because I’m only ever looking “down” at my fretboard with the low E at the “top”. When I tried to hold my iPhone in that orientation, it flipped on me. I had trouble mapping from your visual to my

Wendell. Appropriate name, given the situation. Wendell Berry has written beautifully on this subject, in fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Highly recommended, if you want to dive into the nuance and heartbreak. Suffice to say the situation

If you're interested in this sort of thing, there's a good group of folks who are building local-first libraries and software congregating at https://localfirstweb.dev/ They have had a few meetups so far which hav

The ACM recorded this 2-hour long interview[0] with Fred that walks through his whole history. It's incredible to see Fred's ability to recall conversations and technical decisions from over 50 years ago! I admire his ability to m

I've been exploring Noosphere as a protocol-level solution to the dilemma posed here about centralization. Some really interesting tech! Definitely worth checking out if this stuff interests you.

Adding the "subtitle" from the site itself would provide at least a bit of helpful context: "highlight, copy, and translate text from any image."

At Fission, we built a library called WebNative File System[1] that effectively solves exactly this problem: every user gets their own file system stored in IPFS[2]. I've been building a few apps with WNFS over the past few months. It&

I think Copilot-like tools could be excellent for the exploration phase. Marvin Minsky mused on this usage back in 1967: > The programmer does not even have to be exact in his own ideas‑he may have a range of acceptable computer answers

I honestly think this is where things are going. Man-machine partnership on creative tasks. Not only is it more amenable to current models, it’s higher leverage and less likely to be completely automated away. I wrote a little about this sh
