I want agency over our technology. Convinced the way to get there is to build a super user agent that unlocks a composable web. Can we make it happen please.

User & Agents
A community space focused on shaping the future of user-agent systems.
userandagents.com
Feels like we are onto something over at userandagents.com so many of the right people are joining and taking active part in the community.
The goal for me is simple.
User agency over our technology.
That starts by building foundations and sharing explorations. It grows organically from there.

🎉 Welcome to our new sister project!
We're excited to introduce Synclets, an open, storage-agnostic, sync engine development kit.
Basically, the goal is to abstract out the synchronization layer from TinyBase so that everyone can use it.

Nostalgia level: 💯
(yeah this is a working music player & browser)
Basically the idea of Diffuse, chopped into custom components so you can hook it up, and style it, however you want. Here's multiple audio inputs (subsonic & aws s3) fed into some processors (search, metadata, etc) + webamp.org
