So @bluesky retweeted this.
Which confirms that the project is going to more of an tool of isolation and "lol" than something new.
I actually had hope. It's still early tho
We’re believers in Bitcoin.

Some real talk as the show turns 50 (episodes!):
Consistency is HARD. Acting like a pro content creator and showing up week in, week out *before* you have a massive following is NOT EASY.

"name": "Local First, Undo Redo, JS-Optional, Create Edit Publish",
"content": {
"text": "For a while I have brainstormed designs for a user experience (UX) to create, edit, and publish notes and other types of posts, that is fully undoable (like Gmail\u2019s \"Undo Send\" yet generalized to to all user actions) and redoable, works local first, and lastly, uses progressive enhancement to work without scripts in the extreme fallback case of not being installed, and scripts not loading.\n\n\nI\u2019d like to be able to construct an entire post, like a photo post with caption, people tags, location tag etc. all locally, offline, without any need to access a network.\n\n\nThis is like how old email applications used to work. You could be completely offline, open your email application (there was no need to login to it!), create a message, add attachments, edit it etc., click \"Send\" and then forget about it. Eventually it synced to the network but you didn\u2019t worry or care about when that step would happen, you just knew it would eventually work without you having to tend to it or watch it.\n\n\nI want to approach this from user-experience-first design perspective, rather than a bottom-up protocol/technology/backend first perspective. For one, I don\u2019t know if any existing protocols actually have the necessary features to support such a UX.\n\n\nMicropub has a lot of what\u2019s needed, and I won\u2019t know what else is needed until I build the user flows I want, and then use those to drive any necessary Micropub feature additions. I absolutely do not want to limit my UX by what an existing protocol can or cannot do (essentially the software design version of the tail wags dog problem).\n\n\nLocal First\n\n\nI wrote up a brief stub article on the IndieWeb wiki on \nlocal first.\nI see local first as an essential aspect of an authoring experience that is maximally responsive to user input, and avoids any and all unnecessary ties to other services.\n\n\nI want a 100% local first offline capable creating / editing / posting workflow which then \u201cauto-syncs\u201d once the network shows up. The presence / absence of internet access should not affect user flow at all. Network presence or absence should only be a status indicator (e.g. whether / how much a post has been sent to the internet or not, any edits / updates etc.). It should never block any user actions. I\u2019ll say it again for emphasis:\n\n\nThe absence or presence of network access must not block any user actions. Ever. Any changes should be effective locally immediately, with zero data loss.\n\n\nOf course nearly no one actually builds apps like that today. Even typical mobile \u201cnative\u201d apps fail without network access (a couple of counter-examples are the iOS built-in Notes & Photos apps, as well as the independent maps.me 100% offline mapping program). Some \u201coffline first\u201d apps get close. But even those, especially on mobile, fail in both predictable (like requiring logging into a website or network service, just to edit a local text document) and strange ways.\n\n\nFull Undo Redo\n\n\nEvery such user action should be undoable and redoable, again, without waiting for the network (it\u2019s reasonable to apply some time limits for some actions, e.g. Gmail Undo can be configured to work for 30 seconds).

"html": "<p>\nFor a while I have brainstormed designs for a user experience (UX) to create, edit, and publish notes and other types of posts, that is fully undoable (like Gmail\u2019s \"Undo Send\" yet generalized to to all user actions) and redoable, works local first, and lastly, uses progressive enhancement to work without scripts in the extreme fallback case of not being installed, and scripts not loading.\n</p>\n<p>\nI\u2019d like to be able to construct an entire post, like a photo post with caption, people tags, location tag etc. all locally, offline, without any need to access a network.\n</p>\n<p>\nThis is like how old email applications used to work. You could be completely offline, open your email application (there was no need to login to it!), create a message, add attachments, edit it etc., click \"Send\" and then forget about it. Eventually it synced to the network but you didn\u2019t worry or care about when that step would happen, you just knew it would eventually work without you having to tend to it or watch it.\n</p>\n<p>\nI want to approach this from user-experience-first design perspective, rather than a bottom-up protocol/technology/backend first perspective. For one, I don\u2019t know if any existing protocols actually have the necessary features to support such a UX.\n</p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https://micropub.net/\">Micropub</a> has a lot of what\u2019s needed, and I won\u2019t know what else is needed until I build the user flows I want, and then use those to drive any necessary Micropub feature additions. I absolutely do not want to limit my UX by what an existing protocol can or cannot do (essentially the software design version of the tail wags dog problem).\n</p>\n<h2>\nLocal First\n</h2>\n<p>\nI wrote up a brief stub article on the IndieWeb wiki on \n<a href=\"https://indieweb.org/local_first\">local first</a>.\nI see local first as an essential aspect of an authoring experience that is maximally responsive to user input, and avoids any and all unnecessary ties to other services.\n</p>\n<p>\nI want a 100% local first offline capable creating / editing / posting workflow which then \u201cauto-syncs\u201d once the network shows up. The presence / absence of internet access should not affect user flow at all. Network presence or absence should only be a status indicator (e.g. whether / how much a post has been sent to the internet or not, any edits / updates etc.). It should never block any user actions. I\u2019ll say it again for emphasis:\n</p>\n<p>\nThe absence or presence of network access must not block any user actions. Ever. Any changes should be effective locally immediately, with zero data loss.\n</p>\n<p>\nOf course nearly no one actually builds apps like that today. Even typical mobile \u201cnative\u201d apps fail without network access (a couple of counter-examples are the iOS built-in Notes & Photos apps, as well as the independent <a href=\"https://maps.me\">maps.me</a> 100% offline mapping program). Some \u201coffline first\u201d apps get close. But even those, especially on mobile, fail in both predictable (like requiring logging into a website or network service, just to edit a local text document) and strange ways.\n</p>\n<h2>\nFull Undo Redo\n</h2>\n<p>\nEvery such user action should be undoable and redoable, again, without waiting for the network (it\u2019s reasonable to apply some time limits for some actions, e.g. Gmail Undo can be configured to work for 30 seconds). Now imagine that for any user action, especialy any user action that creates, edits, or deletes content or any aspects thereof (like name, tags, location etc.).\n</p>\n<h2>\nJS-Optional\n</h2>\n<p>\nIn the case where a web application has not yet been installed, I also want it to be 100% capable without depending on loading any external scripts. \nThis JS-Optional approach is more broadly known as \n<a href=\"https://indieweb.org/progressive_enhancement\">progressive enhancement</a>, which does require that you have at least some connection, enough for a browser to submit form requests and retrieve static HTML (and preferably though not required, static CSS and image files too).\n</p>\n<p>\nObviously once you are connected and are running at least a service worker for the site, local first requires execution of some scripts, though even then dependencies on any external scripts should be minimized and preferably eliminated.\nI do have a Service Worker and offline reading support on my site so I\u2019m getting there.\n</p>\n<h2>\nIncremental Progress\n</h2>\n<p>\nI believe aspects of this experience can be built and deployed incrementally, iterating over time until the full system is built.\n</p>\n<p>I\u2019ve got a handful of paper sketches of local-first undoable/redoable user flows.
