So #meshcore (which our local #salishmesh are all switching to instead of Meshtastic) has the concept of BBS rooms. Still getting up to speed with it myself! It’s pretty fun!

Here’s the minimal description of MeshCore “room servers” github.com/meshcore-dev...

at the moment, the protocol is focused on public aggregated data. for a chat product, you can use the identity layer for login, but you’d want something separate (ideally e2ee) for actual communication. see @germnetwork.com for experiments in that area

Had a great conversation with @sjoy.lol today. We both toyed around with the web as a hobby starting in the late 90s, before eventually turning it into a career much later on. We talked a lot about that, but then got into accessibility and I just loved how she referred to it as "a heart thing" 😊

Happy 1 year to me on Bluesky/ATProtocol 🥳. It has been a fun year and I am excited to see what the next one brings.

#reading-list #devlog interconnected.org/home/2025/09... The *feeling* of writing code. I notice it affects many things. The tools I choose are often determined by the "feeling" they give me. Is this one stodgy? or is it sleek and cool? @genmon.fyi

Updated [tonic](github.com/substrate-sy...) — new events API + maintain DOM state #devlog

New microcosm hosted infra: `jetstream1.us-east.fire.hose.cam` This is a drop-in replacement for Bluesky's own hosted jetstream instances in us-east! It's subscribed to the *Bluesky* production relay, so it will emit exactly the same events.

Good news is I just setup CI to automatically deploy a static site and websocket server for mergeparty. So now you can just click and type, no command-line necessary. (This is @inkandswitch.com 's @automerge.org library, + Partykit [@threepointone.bsky.social]) github.com/substrate-sy... #devlog

Oh and I haven't shared here yet: I'm thrilled to have received a grant from OpenSats.org to continue working in the Nostr ecosystem. I'll be working on two projects over the next year: (1/3)

This is a killer blog post @hawkticehurst.com — hawkticehurst.com/2023/11/a-ye... HTML web components are a key to contemporary web apps, imo. I'm not sold on `htmx`; it added a lot to the JS size. See "AHA stack" via @flaviocopes.com — flaviocopes.com/the-aha-stack/ also. #reading-list #devlog

“For developers and founders, the lesson is straightforward. […] Build at the platform layer or build internal leverage. If you want to sell SaaS, make sure it is vertical, deeply integrated, and ROI-proven. Everything else will get commoditized.” mehmetmhy.com/posts/barbel...
