Just retroactively published our changelog for @hyperlink.academy going back ~2 years to the first commit
94 entries / nearly 6k words haha…AMA!
Honestly quite fun to revisit how the app has evolved, and ended up writing a Roadmap too :)

What are the most interesting innovative independent schools you know of?
Particularly for adults. Large or small. On- or offline. Broadly defined.
We'd like to talk to em!
Working on a) making software for such schools & b) ideas for an interview series on what schools can be

Why "projects with friends"?
We talked through a dozen+ ideas for how to use Hyperlink — from tools for IRL communities, to micro-schools, to async online conferences, to book clubs…and more!
4 reasons we picked this use case as our first focus area in a series of experiments:

just launched v1 of Studios, a new part of Hyperlink!
Studios are internet homes for close-knit groups to learn & create together
now Hyperlink has:
~SPACES: containers for doing projects 🌱
~STUDIOS: places to start, join, share & talk about projects with people who care ✨

social theory of internet learning
how we think about learning, creativity, and collaboration, as a series of social layers…
selves --> friends --> communities --> ecosystems
*what do you think, does this make sense? what layers do you find most resonant or exciting?*

some themes we're exploring:
- redefining what a school can be (community of practice, microschool, personal playspace, ecosystem…)
- research lab conducting experiments for collaboration; building better squad infrastructure
- small, nimble, flexible, emergent educational institutions

excited about bsky / atproto & visions for open social ecosystems—what should we explore?
e.g. spin up Hyperlink Spaces (~group chat + shared workspace) from public discussions, w/ DID-based membership?

What are the most interesting small clusters of people / learning orgs exploring novel frontiers — research, creative work, etc — you'd like to see nurtured & encouraged to grow, as a network?

nice reply thread re: internet scene formation
& the importance of balancing more intimate local community stages or clusters within larger, relatively anonymous spaces that give room to breathe and play
& the importance of balancing more intimate local community stages or clusters within larger, relatively anonymous spaces that give room to breathe and play
Scenes are good.
They are magical though and should be treated as such. Can’t force them, you know? But when they happen they are local powerhouses
I think the tricky thing with scenes and the internet is that for a good scene to develop, you kind of can’t have too many people looking…

first, we built a mini-school that ran 50+ cohorts…
now, making better infrastructure for small groups to do cool things together on the internet! a place for…
🔹 indie schools / p2p learning communities
🔹 ambitious work with trusted collaborators
🔹 projects in social contexts e.g. a maker club

what are some other good framings — like "community of practice" — useful for thinking about the workings of social groups based around shared action?
e.g. squad energy, people doing projects together, ambitious mutually supported work, experimental culture, communal amplification & feedback loops…

quick intro to the idea of ~microworlds~
flashback to: 1970s–80s at MIT where Seymour Papert develops the learning theory of *constructionism*
it's all about "learning by making" — using situated contexts and learner-created mental models to make sense of the world
