My #Strudel collection bot is working! Now all #AtProto links to Strudel will be scopped up for an endless collection of musical fun!.

Made a simple composition to celebrate:

Start sharing your Strudel compositions, and let's see if it scoops them up.

At first, I thought I could just rotate the hue of HSL colors and call it a day. Since then, I've learned about perceptual color spaces, OKLCH, Bezold-Brücke effect and I still can't always get good programmatic palettes 😅

But I built Color Palette Pro to help get us halfway there: colorpalette.pro
Color Palette Pro — A Synthesizer for Color Palettes
Generate customizable color palettes in advanced color spaces that can be easily shared, downloaded, or exported.

this looks very cool, i mean that genuinely, but tbh i bristle a bit seeing "local-first" used as a straw man here. of course if your server is the source of truth you can eliminate a lot of local-first complexity — the entire point of that complexity is to avoid a server-authoritative architecture!
I've built a new library that provides a local-first like experience but without the complexity. Count Cachula takes a different approach; it uses the Cache API, the stale-while-revalidate pattern, server-sent events and cache tags to give you the same full-sync experience.

Anti-fascistic software is made possible by pro-labor licensing.

I've been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I'm just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink.

But I'm tired and we urgently need to get our shit together.

During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

If local-first aims to reconstruct software without needing the cloud by inverting ideas data ownership, credible exit, reliance of authoritative servers, software longevity, etc. than the co-option that I think is happening is energy of local-first will be funneled towards sync engines...

This little project is still something that I would hope to explore more someday. It delights me when folks find one of these more-obscure side projects of mine!

I think that shared spaces should be co-repaired places.

In November 1999, the Zombo dot com website was created as a parody of the creative, but, largely pointless flash intros, which were trending at the end of the 1990s. Welcome... to ZomboCom.
