one of the most radical actions the @npmx.dev community took was talking with every single human being who joined our chat server. more than 500 people were welcomed, encouraged to join our open conversations, ask for guidance, share their own ideas, and jump into action when they see opportunities

npmx: converging communities
The story of the many people and communities that converged to build npmx together
Humans are social creatures. We crave bonding and social connections. In our digital world, our common social space is a campfire, which is the group chat.

Recently, we escaped the AT-Bubble to chat with some of the world's most successful game developers and publishers. The whiplash was sharp... 😅 Beyond this network, The Atmosphere is largely unknown and there's some scary risks keeping others from joining the FUN. Our reality check, in blog form:
Vibe Check: Effort, Risk, and Games in The Atmosphere
rpg.actorThere aren't a lot of us here, and I might break the service on occasion, but in case you want to chat with a few really nerdy people about everything from decentralized chat to future of software architectures, here's where we tend to be! irc.freeq.at/join/%23freeq

irc.freeq.atI'll go against the discourse. 280 contributors to repo.npmx.dev in 100 days. We only used bluesky for social comms. We asked while welcoming folks, and most of them got involved after reading our bsky posts. Thanks for building and running bluesky. This network is a great place to do open source 💙

Wild to see that @npmx.dev was the fastest-growing emerging open source organization by number of contributors in Q1 2026 according to osscar.dev. What is even more interesting: it was the only non-AI tool in the top 10.
This is, at it's core why I hate what openai launched with ChatGPT. It's also why I think social agents are interesting and why Claude Code, as a power tool enabled interesting conversations with my collaborators.

there is a strong intellectual tradition in cognitive science (that goes well beyond Chalmers) around thinking of many of the tools we create (rulers, books, maps, whathaveyou) and a lot of our social interactions as necessarily integrated parts of our cognition and integral parts of our humanity
this week's news is about how @tangled.org @npmx.dev and @alt.store are using open social networking protocols to build, distribute, and discover software, and how the most important part is not the code but the community building part connectedplaces.online/reports/fr157-social-software…
