For those that have been seeing me ramble about this every chance I get. We've submitted the initial PR for our #IPLD #ProllyTrees spec.
This is a great building block for building #p2p databases which use sparsely replicated indexes to quickly load just the data that's needed.
Once we get some indexing going on top of these things, waiting for stuff to sync will be something you barely need to think about in P2P social apps! 🎉
@hank This website should just be part of the unicode spec!
Ooo, just had a great idea for how to make 3d graph layout easier for flowchart-like constructs.
Basically, what if you use a regular format like graphviz for your usual 2d layout stuff. But then if you place something in a subgraph it goes on a different `z` layer. Such that you can have a bunch of layers but can still have that flowchart arrangement. E.g. you could link up and down between two layers and the nodes would be placed close together.
Ahhh, the initial spec of IPLD prolly trees is almost done and we're about to start writing a golang impl based on the spec that'll integrate with other IPLD things more easily.
Next we're going to be working on indexing data on top of it, and from there' it's a small jump to bridging the fediverse wtih p2p by publishing indexed activity streams onto IPLD!
Did you know that #Mastodon supports #RSS feeds?
That means you can follow your favorite people and topics right inside of Thunderbird!
→ Just add ".rss" to the URL ←
For example, our Mastodon URL "https://mastodon.online/@thunderbird"
becomes
"https://mastodon.online/@thunderbird.rss"
What about #hashtags? YEP!
Let's look at #OpenSource. From our instance, it is: "https://mastodon.online/tags/opensource"
So, we just append .rss and it works!
"https://mastodon.online/tags/opensource.rss"
REALLY useful if you don't want to miss a thing!
Just tried out debirdify and it looks like a lot of the folks I follow on twitter are already online.
Also useful to find folks I blocked 🤪
