Vibe Coders LDN was 🔥
20 lightning demos over healthy poké in Hoxton – games, LinkedIn hacks, workflow agents, “second brains” & more – all vibe-coded by founders, devs, dropouts, VCs.
One legend built a game from scratch _during_ the show.

Tonk uses three simple components:
• Workers: Pull your data (email, calendar, tasks, APIs)
• Store: Private, local-first data hub
• Apps & Agents: Custom tools built over your data
Easy, modular, flexible.

I sit down every day with vibe coders - in startups, enterprise or just tinkering in their garage - here's what I notice:

Two months ago, on that flight home from Denver, I was looking for a cultural map of London's innovation scenes.
Couldn't find one so I made my own.
Hope it helps you navigate too.

5. Entrepreneur First. Still such a reliable indicator of high-energy, low-ego, ambitious builders. Kudos to Jonny and Mike who ran the cohort in London I did 2.5 years ago.

4. A nascent community of creative technologists and technology-inclined artists (very ✨ tasteful aesthete ✨ vibes) swirling around Sylvan Rackham and William Morgan's Restless Egg whirlpool (watch out - you you'll get sucked in too)

3. This nascent, patriotic, brit/acc movement with people like LFG UK, Andrew Bennett, Jack Wiseman, Kitty Mayo, @projecteurope.bsky.social challenging the narrative around UK & EU tech. Hope they inspire another cohort on this sceptered isle to be unreasonably ambitious & creative.

We had built a world-class, global network of web3 + cryptography experts, but still had work to do back home in London.

Two months ago I was flying back from Denver on a red-eye flight.
Gazing down on the sprawling nighttime plains of the Midwest, I realised that we needed to update @tonklabs.bsky.social's relationship-building focus.

To nontechnical people, we describe it as an easy way to build your own little internet.
Building that network requires (among other things) frontier cryptography. Key management is the hardest part of cryptography, so @goblinoats.bsky.social, Tonk’s CTO, wrote up a survey of approaches.
