For what it's worth, I think this is a terrific, exciting project. I'm keeping a good eye on this!
Today is probably a fine day to mention that I've been working on a self-hostable Discordslacklike called Chatto. It's steadily moving towards feature parity with the big kids, with everything crammed into a single compact 50 MB executable that can run off the cheapest VM you can find.

To all the iOS developers starting to discover just how powerful AI is for coding — I'd love to teach you a workshop. I’ve run dozens of them and they've made a tremendous impact. I've also taught hundreds of people at a non-profit, and feel confident I can level you up a lot in just a few hours.

I'm looking forward to finally showing off what @benricem.bsky.social and I have been working on for, like, 1.5 years. Butterflies and elephants, together at last. 👀 ❤️

I would never argue all self-publishing is bad, but I realized years ago that Amazon designed KDP for exactly this purpose: to incentivize people to adopt new tech to churn out more slop titles in a clear attack on the publishing industry with little regard for readers or even the writers themselves

This is what Hess said: “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now. I think it’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of. Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.”

Sometimes, I put my phone down on the table and watch the second hand of my Apple Watch sweep to a new minute, and watch the phone time update in the same instant, and I am agog at the constellation of technology that makes this possible.

This, friends, is what an audacious plan to tackle inequality and restore tax fairness looks like 👇
There are fountains of wealth being generated in this country. But that wealth isn't trickling down to working people. It’s all stuck at the top.
Our 'Tax Plan for the 99%' takes on the corporate hoarding class – to redistribute wealth and raise the floor for all of us.
