This one might be controversial! We're adding an API to Beaker for panes to drive each other (with permission). This enables apps which extend/interact with other open pages.

(You'll have to maximize this gif to see it, if twitter screws it up I'll delete and repost)
The obvious usecase is what we do with our editor: it attaches to an active pane so that you can edit its content and have the page live-reload as you work.

What are some other possible usecases?...
🔹A content scraper
🔹An editor that operates on a higher level than files (blogging, WYSIWYG site editing, images)
🔹A comments section
🔹An annotations UI
We've put off implementing Web Extensions because we believe it's possible for regular web apps to accomplish most of the same tasks in a more intuitive way

This is really our first step in that direction

Some interesting points about this topic are made by @LynAldenContact in lynalden.com/proof-of-stake/. Going to summarize a few of my takeaways RE the question of blockchains as political systems 1/
One of the points Lyn makes and which I got in the replies is that blockchains are more of a market-choice system

1) users choose which chains to use,
2) users choose which forks to use (which is kind of the same thing as which chain),
3) users choose which software to use

2/
Point 2 is especially relevant because any breaking change to a protocol is a hard fork. If end-users don't go along with the fork, then you essentially have no power. 3/

This is something Ive been stewing on for years; heres my latest attempt and Id like to hear thoughts

A blockchain is a political system for operating a shared dataset which is constitutional (operation constrained by rules) and legislative (operation changes by rule change). 1/
Decentralized consensus is generally the mechanism for upholding the active ruleset. Because it's difficult to assert a new state that differs from the majority of other miners' expectations, the miners operating the network are bound to the rules. Thus: "constitutional." 2/
You can, however, change the operation of the network by changing the rules. Thus: "legislative."

The system for deploying changes to the rules determine the legislative process and resulting political system. 3/

I've been kindly asked to participate in this panel and to do a quick 🧵 on the topic.

So: Who's got my data? Let's look at how a decentralized Twitter might use distributed data networks such as @HypercoreProto or @IPFS 🧵🧵🧵👇
P2P, distributed data networks like Hypercore and IPFS are basically BitTorrent variants

The whole idea is you can share files, databases, and logs using 1) a cryptographic URL, and 2) bandwidth-sharing, where downloaders can become seeders
In contrast to HTTP, Hyper and IPFS don't associate data with a particular service or dot-com. The URLs use public keys or content hashes instead of IP addresses.

It's also possible for anybody to rehost ("seed") the data.

It's a network of data, not hosts. A data mesh.

Just had a great conversation with @mafintosh about some of the new @HypercoreProto features.

This gets into the weeds a bit, but for anybody following the ecosystem, here are some bits that you might find interesting:
In the past, Hypercore has used a daemon called "hyperspace." This was used to centralize all the data and networking logic, which apps would then share.

Well: It looks like that won't be necessary anymore! Apps can just run Hypercore and its network themselves.
That's possible because the networking layer has gotten a lot "cheaper" to use.

The upside: no cumbersome daemon management, and local apps share data the same way that remote apps share data. It's all down to "do you have the keys" and "are you in the multiwriter pool"

How could Clubhouse turn around its growth trajectory?

I'm not much for analysis threads but I've been following this closely and I'm curious about how new networks can (or can't) challenge the incumbents.
I'm going to push through feeling self conscious about doing this thread and just share. I hope you find it interesting!
Contrary to popular belief, I don't actually think CH's biggest risk is being copied by existing social networks. I'm honestly starting to think Stories was an outlier. Just look at attempts to copy TikTok; there's obviously more to it than gluing a UX to existing graphs.
