App creator pledges against enshittification
While researching business models that could work on atproto there are some obvious ones that won’t work on a technical/architectural level. Like you can’t really monetize the data in the PDS because it’s all completely open (as long as there’s no permissioned data, but probably not even after that). That in itself already takes away a lot of room/incentive for enshittification (which is great), since when you do users can create or move to another app. But still, I kept encountering models/ta...
Malleable software: Restoring user agency in a world of locked-down apps
The original promise of personal computing was a new kind of clay. Instead, we got appliances: built far away, sealed, unchangeable. In this essay, we envision malleable software: tools that users can reshape with minimal friction to suit their unique needs.

A product modeling platform for AI-built software
The first version is magic. Auto turns product intent into a durable model your agent can build from as the product evolves.
Post-appitalism rejects the super-app as a meaningful alternative to todays app-based production of software. An app that becomes so big that it starts sucking in smaller apps perpetuates the same dynamics no matter how well integrated the smaller apps can be.

I read Joel Spolske's User Interface Design for Programmers book in 2001. Rewired me forever: When the program model deviates from the user model (me), I am SHOCKED AND HORRIFIED. Been designing to break the law... er, align with the user model ever since. joelonsoftware.com/2001/10/24/user-interface-des…
