It's been a good while since I've written something, but here it is. I wrote a short piece on this malleable version of diffuse.sh that's in alpha. Why did I build this and how, but also, what can you actually do with this thing? How does it relate to Patchwork and Tonk? tokono.ma/essays/diffu...

We got our first usable alpha version 🙌 diffuse.sh/4.0.0-alpha.3/ Silently cut the first alpha release not too long ago, but since made some big changes like: - Implemented the DASL MASL spec + `.tile` CAR files - Bi-directional data lenses - Audio engine rework

Atproto spaces alpha updates
Hey folks, we just launched the atproto spaces alpha. Check out the blog post for more details! Over the following weeks, we’ll be iterating on the specification and the implementation. In all likelihood, this will involve breaking changes to the PDS distribution, the Bluesky-hosted alpha PDS, and the alpha SDKs. To minimize disruption, we’ll plan to do releases on Thursdays (barring something critical that requires more immediate attention). When we do a release, We’ll make a post to this thr...

I think I've started to figure out that gentle slope the malleable software essay from @inkandswitch.com talked about (where the user gradually becomes an editor or creator). inkandswitch.com/essay/malleable-software/#a-g… I'm comparing Diffuse (a set of components and tools) to food, copy need work tho 😅
Still trying to figure out how to talk about our Patchwork project: it's a local-first malleable software system that builds on our past work. It's shadertoy and a markdown editor but it's also a minecraft clone and an ohmjs programming language workbench. It's also none of those things, or more?
Built a lofi granular synth this arvo at a workshop facilitated by Griffith Uni (Cultivating Digital Music Making In Regional Communities) I was delighted to be invited along, engage in discussions + make some new connections. Thanks to the research team and Sauerbier House for hosting it!
