a notepad you can't edit + three little web apps sharing a filesystem

Focus, reps, optimistic vortex, strong signal, ripple effects.

if a project evolves continuously, it may be worth tracking changes for who the audience is: it currently serves x, y, and z people, but new possibilities or priorities would trigger different messaging.
coming from the question "who can benefit while this is incomplete?"
No computing after lunch. Shower thoughts for the whole afternoon and evening.

From 'trapped in my notes' to 'public data' that anyone can use. 📖

nobody can take away your files
I just need to allow them to flow by themselves. Enough motivation will create the kind of atmosphere that everything goes smoothly.

Keep moving. Go for a walk. Stay connected and someone will come talk to you.

atproto, nostr, webxdc, solid, remotestorage, and 'dapps' each have a different focus and data flow
but i can't help but see them as collections of "web apps"
and think it'd be possible and cool to give each web app the combined user base of the others

The first time I visited Berlin, the area I stayed in gave me this feeling of calm and coziness such that I'd want to come back. I see more layers now after spending time in other neighbourhoods, but nice to connect with an old feeling by revisiting this moment.
My time there definitely gave me an appreciation for public spaces, as they aren't so common in other places I've visited. And yeah, public sofas… Why not?

During my personal travels between 2018 to 2020, I recorded one minute of ambient sound in various places to practice being still and appreciating what's around me, especially the so-called 'noise' which, although often ignored, can be quite rich when paying closer attention. The photos are just for fun and not necessary.

i started a /now page,
but i think it might be for myself more than other people,
as i like the cadence of documenting where i'm at now and then.
