Looking forward to this!

jujutsu has support for tags now! Tags are the only reason I've had to use the `git` CLI in the last few months. Hurrah! github.com/jj-vcs/jj/re...

We have a shiny new website courtesy of @spiralganglion.com and @seaofclouds.com 🙌 🚀 Check it out: automerge.org

😲 We have a ✨packed✨ agenda for the September edition of the Automerge Community Call on the 24th! Updates & talks featuring @chee.party, @daffl.me, @spiralganglion.com, @seaofclouds.com, @patternist.xyz, @expede.wtf, and John Mumm! Don't miss out — RSVP here: luma.com/70fuozje

Automerge 3 is here: the heart transplant is complete! Huge improvements in memory usage and (in most cases) correspondingly big performance improvements too. Backwards compatible on disk and the network so there's no reason not to upgrade today: automerge.org/blog/automer...

Watch @patternist.xyz talk about Beelay, a (reasonably) generic encrypted sync protocol for CRDTs. youtu.be/neRuBAPAsE0?...

Why do some have a shit time with LLMs for programming while others love it? To succeed, the latter group tacitly creates tons of scaffolding and gain weird new skills. While it works, this posts explains how doing all that is an incidental consequence of bad interaction design in coding AI agents.

Local first development is funny sometimes. I just noticed that a sync server I run for a small project was storing it's data `/tmp` - which gets deleted every day. No one noticed for three months because everyone has the data locally so the only symptom was slightly degraded sync in the mornings.

We’re excited to announce that @patternist.xyz member of the @inkandswitch.com team, will be speaking about Beelay, a new generic sync system.

Under the hood this is using automerge to sync state between two Godot editors.

I sat down at my desk this morning so full of ideas about what I was going to do today. I have now spent the whole morning fighting with GitHub Actions.

I wrote this up in a little more detail patternist.xyz/posts/ad-hoc...

Just discovered that `gnuplot` has a `kittycairo` backend which can output an image directly to a terminal which supports the kitty graphics protocol. This makes writing little one off scripts which produce a nice graph much easier.

I've changed my homepage (and handle) from memoryandthought.me to patternist.xyz. Mostly because I was bored of the old one.

My Framework 13 arrived today. I'm extremely excited to never buy another laptop again. I might try a different distro to my standard Arch Linux this time around. Maybe Fedora Silveblue.

Have you ever felt like spending six hours watching 17 amazing talks about live programming? If so... check out the video from LIVE 2024 last week! Everything from intuitive visual representations of program behavior to text editor integrations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GOe...

🗝️🐝✨ I'm excited to share a status update on the local-first access control project Beehive tomorrow at the Local First Meetup 🚀 More details here: twitter.com/devYonz/stat...

I've been working on a #Automerge based #Go library for a few days: github.com/astromechza/... which demonstrates synchronising Automerge documents over newline delimited JSON and HTTP1.1/HTTP2 rather than websockets. Going to use this to build some tools with understandable building blocks.

Well, this sucks, looks like BitWarden is attempting to rug pull its open license. It's a shame, it was the only open source password manager with a decent nulti-device story. I hope someone with more time than me forks it. github.com/bitwarden/cl...

🎉 I'm super excited to share the first post giving a high level overview of the local-first access control project that we're working on at Ink & Switch! 🐝✨ www.inkandswitch.com/beehive/note...

trying to work out if i want to make a whole new website - 😭 - or just add a digital garden to what I've got. I really enjoy bear blog but want space for things that aren't fully thought out yet lol any indie web folks or digital gardening enthusiasts have any suggestions?

I'm working on a video and blog post about who isn't online! I think I have the digital exclusion side pretty covered but I'm still curious: Have you ever decided to curb or stop your internet usage? Have you bought devices or software to change how or how much you use the internet? 1/2

Here's something we (the Automerge contributors) have been working on for a while. It's a library which implements all the boring parts of building a local first application on automerge: networking, storage etc. automerge.org/blog/2023/11...

Do I know anyone who used geocities when it was running? Or who uses neocities now? Or both?

A slightly meandering but fun WIRED article on local-first software and CRDTs, also featuring Strange Loop and the St. Louis City Museum, Marc Shapiro, PvH, @expede.wtf, and others https://www.wired.com/story/the-cloud-is-a-prison-can-the-local-first-software-movement-set-us-free/

One of my favourite etymology facts is that 'glamour' and 'grammer' are cognate because studying how to read and write was once considered to be like studying magic.

Ugh, guess I tagged the wrong pfrazee. @pfrazee.com here's a quick question re. extending the record types stored on a PDS.

@pfrazee.bsky.social @dholms.xyz As I understand it the PDS currently accepts a hardcoded list of lexicons when creating records. Is that the plan going forward or is the idea that the PDS would support arbitrary records (this is my hope)?

Idly thinking that I would like something like Reddit, but built on ATP. I think the forum model is a great way to have detailed discussions and I also like the unified UI and identity across many different subjects that the subreddit model provides (in contrast to traditional forums).

I just released the first version of a java library for automerge. https://github.com/automerge/automerge-javaThere's lots to do to make this easy to use. I want a nice integration with Jetpack Compose and a networking layer compatible with automerge-repo. But this is a start.

New paper! 📄✨ It turns out that all text collaboration algorithms have an interleaving problem, and we fixed it for the first time. Very proud of this work with Matthew Weidner and Seph Gentle https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.00583
