If you had asked my thoughts on interoperability some years ago, I wouldn't have had much to say. Nowadays, it has become one of my most revered ideals. And today, I want to take you along for a journey towards its summum: Interoperable Serendipity.
Adversarial Interoperability
“Interoperability” is the act of making a new product or service work with an existing product or service: modern civilization depends on the standards and practices that allow you to put any dish

Eventual Interoperability – Pieter Colpaert
A pragmatic approach to interoperability: model your data richly for your own needs, then allow the eventual creation of one‑to‑many alignments.

Composability with other tools
Interoperability, exchange, and composition are some of my primary motivations for building Subconscious. Why isn’t interoperability more common between tools for thought? Why is it that most of our tools are silos? How did we get here?

The Direction of Interoperability
Talking in terms of horizontal or vertical interoperability is too constrictive a mental model to understand what interoperability does. Doing better matters, and it's right within reach.

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...
Interwoven
Standard tools assume a standard life. Interwoven doesn't. It's designed from the ground up for people navigating complex relationship structures, executive function challenges, and the kind of emotional labour that never makes it into a to-do list.
Portability and Interoperability
Data portability is friendly to consumers, but it has very little to do with encouraging competition, at least relative to interoperability.
A while ago, I came up with the term Interoperable Serendipity. I was thinking of Solid at the time, but it totally applies to ATProto as well, and I'd love to see it embraced there! I just opened a discussion in the community forum to talk about it: discourse.atmosphere.community/t/interoperable-serendipity/1…
Interoperable Serendipity
discourse.atmosphere.communityIn policy circles I keep hearing about "horizontal" and "vertical" interoperability, notions that I haven't encountered in tech standards. I sat down to write about why it's a limiting understanding of interoperability and how we can do better. berjon.com/interoperability/
