I've been trying to think through this "tool" approach where you can have tools be part of the canvas, think trays for uploads, or mini composers. they can be unpinned and move as you pan around, or you can pin them so they follow you around. you can even play snake with them.

yeah this is pretty much an exact use case! you'd make a collection of items, arrange them on a canvas and it's then a shareable page. could have some kind of smart collection based on date ranges in the future.

can totally do that! I just added resizing too so you can have different sized things on the same canvas.

This is nice. I’ve been thinking of using labels on accounts from a trusted labeller service but not sure if it’s just a pain in the ass. Completely overlooked lists and the feed interop with bsky.

like a dream!

I wrote about something similar after finding out I’m autistic at 30. Must be something about that age threshold where a lot of shit comes up. One of the hardest years of my life after that. Do with that what you will haha

also creation of a collection is 1 record for collection, and n items. with array, its 1 record.

common use is to create with a bunch of items first, but can add to it over time.

1 is simple, solo actor, order is just array order. however records with up to 100 nested objects in an array seems a bit much, but maybe it’s fine?

can always have collaborative collections as a different lexicon?

what would you do?

I like 2 because it seems more extensible, could easily have collaborative collections.

downside is more tricky to sync app views, like do you allow collection items for the same collection by a different did, how do you enforce position without clients using a fractional position lib etc

is it basically the definition of chronically online?

Yeah seems like everyone but labour is against it which is honestly surprising to me.
