DASL: Web Tiles

DASL: Tiles Protocols

Tiles ([[tiles]]) are intended for use in a diversity of environements. Depending on the environment that they find themselves embedded in, they will have access to different capabilities that expose various features and communicate with the host environment. Tiles Protocols are the mechanisms through which these integrations are made available.

Web Tiles

Tiles are composable web docs and apps that can safely be used in arbitrary contexts and assembled from multiple sources to carry out complex user interface tasks.

DASL: Tiles Protocol: Data Passing

Passsing data to and from tiles is key to integrating tiles in arbitrary environments. This protocol specifies precisely that.

June Bug - DASL Web Tiles

Web Tiles Explainer - HackMD

Tiles are an additional primitive for the web. A tile is a content-addressed graph of web content that can be executed and rendered in a manner that is safe by default, and therefore can be granted greater trust by default. Tiles also compose horizontally with one another, to enable a web of actions.

DASL: RASL — Retrieval of Arbitrary Structures & Links

RASL is a URL scheme used to identify content-addressed DASL resources along with a simple HTTP-based retrieval method.

@dasl/tiles - npmx

All-purpose web tiles library (meta-package re-exporting the @dasl/tile-* libraries)

DASL: MASL — Metadata for Arbitrary Structures & Links

MASL is a CBOR-based metadata system that is designed to work well with content-addressed and decentralised systems, to enable fully self-contained, self-certified content distribution.

Web Tiles as the base for Lexicon Embeds

Now that @robin.berjon.com has released an initial spec and implementation of Web Tiles, we can see how we can use or extend this as a base for Lexicon Embeds. Lexicon Embeds is my label for how to have native ATProto content embed in different apps, from display all the way to interactivity— eg an event post in bsky with an RSVP button. Getting this as a general capability - and getting security and display right - means embeds can function in Leaflet and Bsky and anywhere else, rather than o...

Web Tiles

Trust has been the defining constraint on the Web's evolution towards more powerful, more applicative capabilities. In a Web context, the user must be able to safely load any arbitrary URL, to safely click on any arbitrary link. The way in which this is achieved is that the runtime places strict limits on what a Web page can do, which in turn necessarily limits powerful capabilities. Could we get more power using a primitive that places more stringent constraints in what pages can do?
