Building iroh with the amazing folks at number 0 (n0.computer).
Generally striving to increase user agency and excited about commons networks.
Only works for Canadian CEOs, apparently.
Rust, cryptography, CRDTs & more on my feed
- after that iroh became mostly a way to holepunch QUIC connections and a bunch of ideas from ipfs made it into iroh-blobs, iroh-gossip and iroh-docs.

The history behind iroh is essentially:
- it used to be an implementation of a bunch of ipfs protocols (bitswap, integrated with the amino DHT etc.)
- this attempt was scrapped, and renamed to beetle (it's still out there)

So happy to hear you've finally warmed up to rust :P

Small PSA: At n0 we've seen flume lose notifications when you cancel its async receive futures, so it's not fully cancel-safe.

YES! I literally called it "weird week" at fission.

And then I realized sometimes it's two weeks or more 😅

BANANA!

(I had a thing when I was visiting Vancouver Island of shouting banana every time I saw one of those slugs :D)

Maybe because productivity software is sold to enterprises, and enterprises care less about usability than end consumers, and end consumers consume on mobile mostly.

Also, I think there is UI/UX innovation I think, but it's all happening inside the browser.

Sounds similar to jodel.com/en/ which is quite successful in Germany.

(But also it tries to be anonymous. Makes sense if you want people to engage more.)

So yeah I agree this might work quite well.
If it's something that *should* be built - meh I'm not sure

It is so, so incredibly bad.

When it started auto-translating voices in the video with weird af robots as well... Man.

I mean, yay to making content accessible to a wider audience in the future, but it *really* doesn't work at the moment.

Interestingly, Claude seems to be able to print an em dash, but not those fancy tilted quotation marks (they're called left and right double quotation marks apparently).

Also it seems to be unaware of that fact.
