A movement is quietly gaining momentum. For some time, the Resonant Computing Manifesto circulated among a small circle of technologists and thinkers. Within days of going public, more than 1,200 signatories—including Alan Kay, Peter Wang, Tim O'Reilly, Kevin Kelly and Esther Dyson—joined the call for software that serves human agency.

There's this verb "distribution" used in the context of sentences like "Substack solved distribution" and I don't get it. What does it mean?

ATProto builders, I've been having some really positive conversations with multiple funders who want to invest in the ecosystem. The tides are shifting, the interest is here. But, we need to talk. 👇

Anchor

We had a good run, and it was a great way to figure some atproto things out. But I don't see a way forward that makes sense for Anchor as a viable product. Taking Anchor to the next level would require non-trivial investment which the usage does not support. So I'm closing it down end of this month.

difficult to imagine atproto apps building to significant revenue in a world where you can just clone any given app in an afternoon & still access the backing data

From Attention to Intention - The Open Garden

Exploring business models for atproto and the open social web

atproto sustainability

Erlend Sogge Heggen

This is a very straight forward atproto-business play btw 1. bring (the feature-complete) UnInbox into the atmosphere: put a PDS on it & accept open-social login 2. promptly charge indie teams like mine flat rates (no seats) of $100/yr and up for managed service. Outcompete missiveapp.com/pricing

Erlend Sogge Heggen

Note to @mk.gg and @cloudflare-dev.bsky.social DevRel folks: There’s a feature-complete team-mail client called UnInbox that’s no longer in business, but the dev is trying to bring the (self-)hosting costs close to zero, which is the sort of thing Cloudflare excels at 👀 github.com/un/inbox
