Really exciting new features announced for upcoming @radicle protocol versions!!

1. Canonical references (branches, tags, releases)
2. Identity improvements: more #DID methods, e.g. #bluesky ‘s `did:plc` / `did:web`
3. Multi-device identity
4. Agent repositories for richer user profiles

Really looking forward to the
@radicle meetup in a couple of hours in #Berlin !

Some interesting presentations and exciting announcements coming up !

Don't miss it if you're in the area! ;)

For #remote work … to work, in person meetups are **essential**!

Recommend: 2+ a year, as circumstances allow.

This week I’m visiting #Berlin to catch up with the @radicle team.

Enjoying every minute of this face2face with my wonderful colleagues and the great atmosphere in this city!

It doesn't click for me how:

a #Vite powered, #React server component, cloudflare preferred solution addresses the print("hello world") experience.

It read like they were suggesting #LocalFirst -- but seems like they're a long way from that. (https://github.com/redwoodjs/sdk).

Maybe Cloudflare is funding the dev?

One thing I missed when writing the Blueprint post about #BYOTA was a more personal take about it. Well, here it is: https://aittalam.github.io/posts/2025-04-05-byota/

Ah yes, "Localfirst" #web #development – because apparently, the best way to improve the internet is to reinvent it as a 1990s desktop app. Sure, let's all go back to the glory days of #offline #computing because, evidently, #cloud #services are just too mainstream now.

#Q: Why is there no open standard portable export/import hypertext archive format for a #website, #weblog, #wiki, etc… which preserves the hypertext semantics and connections?

Maybe make all things cloudy #Ejectable and #LocalFirst?

With the changes brought by Svelte 5, I found myself wanting to take advantage of performance improvements and harness the power of runes. But converting my stores to something 'rune-based' proved more challenging than I had hoped since so much of my codebase relied on stores.

Depois de ler um texto do @ploum falando sobre a construção de um computador que dure 50 anos ― onde também se fala do princípio de #offlinefirst / #localfirst ―, tive ganas de criar um repertório de documentos para deixar no disco rígido para consulta rápida e sem internet.

Já baixei alguns mapas (América do Sul, Brasil, Ceará etc.) e alguns dicionários. Tentei baixar o mapa de infraestrutura da minha cidade pelo #OpenStreetMaps, mas não consegui direitinho. Penso em baixar o repositório da Wikipédia.

[L]ocal software that means software that is built close to the home and serves the needs of the home.

It’s software someone might build for themselves, their family and friends, their neighborhood and community.

It solves local problems for local people.

Maggie Appleton explains in the video what is local software, why it’s important and how the current trend of LLM-powered developer tools could enable a new generation of “barefoot developers”.

I won’t spoil you the definition of barefoot developers. The story is so great, you’ll have to watch the video to understand. You won’t regret it since the presentation is well crafted with illustrated slides.

Amazon's marketing campaign for #HomeAssistant and its Voice extensions continues strong.
I propose to recognize them as an ecosystem partner.

To counter my own “Weltschmerz”, I'm trying to make my contribution by boycotting services that are beneficial to Trump and others who have overstepped the mark. Here is my first article on the topic:

#UnplugTrump #LocalFirst #SelfHosting #OpenSource

Um dem eigenen "Weltschmerz" etwas entgegenzusetzen, versuche ich gerade durch einen kleinen eigenen Boykott von Diensten, die Trump und anderen Übergriffigen nutzen, meinen Beitrag zu leisten. Hier mein erster Artikel zum Thema https://holtwick.de/de/blog/unplug-trump?ref=mastodon #UnplugTrump #LocalFirst #SelfHosting #OpenSource

Next weekend we're having another edition of #BoilingTheOcean (back to the og name, by popular demand)! Topics include, as usual, GNOME, Linux Mobile, and local-first. This time we'll bring a working version of Aardvark to take notes :)

Just updated my #localfirst Lifewheel #app based on some #UX feedback, and I'm really happy with how it turned out! #Svelte 5 greatly simplified the #DX and hopefully made this #foss codebase easier to maintain too.

Try it out: https://reconnect.earth/lifewheel/

Forget about CouchTo5k, we can do ToCouchIn5Min!

CouchDB Minihosting gives you a complete stack to quickly try out and host offline-first web apps:

https://github.com/neighbourhoodie/couchdb-minihosting

And we made a small Svelte demo app that shows login and offline replication:

All open source, give it a try! Host your own, be independent

the open web is punk rock

decentralization is punk rock
