Exploring interoperability & composability for local-first software | grjte
Check out the project at https://github.com/grjte/groundmist-syncCross-posted to https://baincapitalcrypto.com/atproto-for-local-first-interoperability/ This is the third exploration connecting local-first software with the AT Protocol (atproto). Previously, I explored how atproto can enable new fu...
Beyond jj: config & tools ecosystem
This post was originally given as a talk at JJ Con 2026. The slides are also available. Hello! Welcome to “beyond jj”, where we’re going to take a look at the jj ecosystem: commands, configurations, and tools made to work with jj. It’s partly a follow-up to my talk at JJCon last year, where I surveyed jj configurations across the community, but we’ll get there in a minute.
zimfw/zimfw
Zim Framework: The Zsh configuration framework with blazing speed and modular extensions.
affaan-m/everything-claude-code
Complete Claude Code configuration collection - agents, skills, hooks, commands, rules, MCPs. Battle-tested configs from an Anthropic hackathon winner.
Composable, fast, and secure dev environments | Workshop | Ubuntu
Launch agent-ready, sandboxed development environments with a single command. Define them via simple YAML configs, share them to recreate on different machines.

Reflections on Declarative Configuration
Advantages and pitfalls of Infrastructure as Code, and the distinction between IaC and Declarative Configuration.

Constitutions of Web3
Smart contracts are promising tools for governing DAOs but they alone aren't enough. In this artifact, we describe how written constitutions are an interface for a community’s shared values and must complement programmatic tools like smart contracts.

Lume, the static site generator for Deno
Support for multiple file formats like Markdown, YAML, JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, Nunjucks etc.

Design system doc spec 0.15.2
A machine-readable format for design system documentation. DSDS structures components, tokens, themes, foundations, patterns, and guides as a single source of truth for humans, parsers, and agents.

Specification of graph translators with triple graph grammars
Data integration is a key issue for any integrated set of software tools. A typical CASE environment, for instance, offers tools for the manipulation of requirements and software design documents, and it provides more or less sophisticated assistance for keeping these documents in a consistent state. Up to now, almost all data consistency observing or preserving integration tools are hand-crafted due to the lack of generic implementation frameworks and the absence of adequate specification formalisms. Triple graph grammars are intended to fill this gap and to support the specification of interdependencies between graph-like data structures on a very high level. Furthermore, they are the fundamentals of a new machinery for the production of batch-oriented as well as incrementally working data integration tools.

Files As Metadata Format
File structures with simple contents can be used instead of YAML, TOML or JSON. More effectively!
I have a draft RFC for a decentralized plugin registry for EmDash, based on atproto. Feedback welcome!
RFC: Decentralized Plugin Registry by ascorbic · Pull Request #694 · emdash-cms/emdash
github.com@dholms.at and I pushed up IETF draft text for atproto repos and sync: ietf.org/archive/id/draft-holmgren-at-… ietf.org/archive/id/draft-holmgren-at-… these are versioned in github (per norm) over here: github.com/ietf-wg-atp/drafts
