Malleable software: Restoring user agency in a world of locked-down apps

The original promise of personal computing was a new kind of clay. Instead, we got appliances: built far away, sealed, unchangeable. In this essay, we envision malleable software: tools that users can reshape with minimal friction to suit their unique needs.

The Architecture Of Local-First Web Development — Smashing Magazine

An honest perspective on building local-first web apps in 2026, written for developers who’ve been doing this long enough to be skeptical of silver bullets.

FOSDEM 2025 - Goblins: The framework for your next project!

Building peer-to-peer decentralised applications remains difficult and error-prone. Most attempts at this either abandon collaborative features entirely or fall back on centralised architectures. The Spritely Institute is working on this challenge by creating (among other things) Goblins, a Guile framework that makes secure, fault-tolerant peer-to-peer applications accessible to developers. These tools are especially valuable for developers building secure collaborative applications that aim to foster healthy online communities. This talk walks you through Goblins’ most powerful features, including the actor model, object capability security, networking, time travel debugging, and persistence.

From Volunteer Gardening to Building Next-Gen Distributed Web Apps: My Journey to Holochain App…

A story about discovering community, a mind-warping internet paradigm and a global network of unconventional software engineers.

Steven Vandevelde (@tokono.ma)

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! 🎉

LLM Agents Are the Antidote to Walled Gardens

While the Internet's core infrastructure was designed to be open and universal, today's application layer is dominated by closed, proprietary platforms. Open and interoperable APIs require significant investment, and market leaders have little incentive to enable data exchange that could erode their user lock-in. We argue that LLM-based agents fundamentally disrupt this status quo. Agents can automatically translate between data formats and interact with interfaces designed for humans: this makes interoperability dramatically cheaper and effectively unavoidable. We name this shift universal interoperability: the ability for any two digital services to exchange data seamlessly using AI-mediated adapters. Universal interoperability undermines monopolistic behaviours and promotes data portability. However, it can also lead to new security risks and technical debt. Our position is that the ML community should embrace this development while building the appropriate frameworks to mitigate the downsides. By acting now, we can harness AI to restore user freedom and competitive markets without sacrificing security.

Soft Apps

The future of the web relies on open standards, flexible systems, interoperable tools, and first and foremost a focus on the human being.
