“A collection of emulated calculators, providing reference to how they worked and what the often unique interfaces would consist of. Also great for doing math.”

Are you looking things over during eternal Caturday?

“My thinking is if you want the account on Feedbin to talk to your friends, it’s easy. Just make a website and publish an RSS feed and send your friends the URL. … The web is the social network. You’re talking about Google Reader having comments and stuff, but what happened to those? They’re gone now.”

Are you looking for approval during eternal Caturday?

Fri Jan 27
πŸ”– Bookmarked There are many opposing forces in the #IndieWeb that can seem like catch-22s, yet help clarify priorities, and balance present pragmatism & future optimism. http://tantek.com/2023/026/t1/indieweb-priorities-balance

Rather than contradictions, these tensions are a source of inquiry, questions, and conversations.

Each could be expanded into their own discussion or exploration.

Each of them is an axis of sorts, with different β€œright” answers for different people, depending on what they want, and how much time or other resources they have.

Each makes the most sense when explored in the context of a focus on solving real user needs to participate directly on today’s web.

Each is also a trap for abstract logic, theoretical purity, or dogmatic absolutism, especially when detached from real world goals, constraints, and efforts.

Have you at last found stillness during eternal Caturday?

This is old news but I have lingering browser tabs about it, so I guess that means it gets a post!

After many months without updates the Beaker browser has been officially archived.

I had a lot of hopes for this kind of “no-backend” peer-to-peer web app tool, but never felt like I was quite ready to jump in. To my (subjective) reading from the outside, Beaker was always not-quite-stable, with pivots happening from major feature to major feature. I recall that “solving multi-writer” was always a critical missing feature, and it was always over one horizon or the next.

I recognize that many core bits of Beaker live on. A lot of the good decentralized-plumbing stuff continues to improve in the hyper ecosystem. I also have high hopes for Agregore as a spiritual successor - a browser for “local-first” decentralized web apps that takes the extremely cool step of mapping the complexity of several decentralized protocols to well understood HTTP methods via fetch APIs.

Still, with the loss of Beaker I feel like we’re now missing a complete tool that allows hacking on something locally (even with media), and be able to share and collaborate on it simply by sharing a link.

I wonder what will be the next home of something like Duxtape (source). Or Paperize, but without Google Drive on the backend.
