Comics Lexicons
Hello! I posted an early preview of a Webtoons but AT Protocol app I’ve been working on earlier today. Just some of the creator dashboard pages. @tynanpurdy.com suggested I post here for some feedback. I’ve uploaded the lexicons I have so far to this Github repo (sorry not tangled). I’m not really a data model person or a comic creator so I feel like I’m the worst person to define these things. And frankly, my indecision may be holding back the actual development of the AppView. It feels wron...
Between Principle and Pragmatism: Reflections on Prototyping Computational Media with Webstrates
Computational media describes a vision of software, which, in contrast to application-centric software, is (1) malleable, so users can modify existing functionality, (2) computable, so users can run custom code, (3) distributable, so users can open documents across different devices, and (4) shareable, so users can easily share and collaborate on documents. Over the last ten years, the Webstrates and Codestrates projects aimed at realizing this vision of computational media. Webstrates is a server application that synchronizes the DOM of websites. Codestrates builds on top of Webstrates and adds an authoring environment, which blurs the use and development of applications. Grounded in a chronology of the development of Webstrates and Codestrates, we present eight tensions that we needed to balance during their development. We use these tensions as an analytical lens in three case studies and a game challenge in which participants created games using Codestrates. We discuss the results of the game challenge based on these tensions and present key takeaways for six of them. Finally, we present six lessons learned from our endeavor to realize the vision of computational media, demonstrating the balancing act of weighing the vision against the pragmatics of implementing a working system.

Rethinking the TypeScript Lexicon tooling - Matthieu's Leaflet
The official Lexicon code generation tooling hasn't evolved much since its initial release. While it serves the core atproto codebase well, third-party developers face significant challenges with bundle size, manual maintenance, and architectural constraints that make building production-ready applications unnecessarily difficult.

Looks like what I've been building is quite similar to what the foundation of Patchwork-26 is. Lots of "tiny apps" (atomization of software, loosely coupled) + just the web. Local-first and where everything revolves around the content (data-first, can use preferred UI/view). Happy to see this! 🎉
