For sure! Even further; with enough tags in your personal/community pool you can *translate* other communities' tags based on usage (rather than linguistic translation).

The hardest thing is then referencing the items, and their ontology. (You rated "Hamilton": Musical? Film? Person?)

Exactly! Provide some kind of structure for tagging, so that adding a tag is easier (I suggested picking an adjective, and an intensity), then let everyone remix at will!

… if this sounds useful for a lexicon, I’d add a 4-point rating system to your lexicon (notatall/not/is/very) with “good” as the default adjective, but with scope to use different adjectives too.

Things could auto-sort into the buckets of your UI demo, and you could remix new lists in the future.

JP @byjp.me · 9h

… “not:followable”, or “notatall:fun” and using the adjectives across all the things you’ve tagged as a way to make infinite lists for your (and others’) infinite moods.

Sometimes I want a *not fun* book (serious topics and/or complex learning), sometimes I want things that move fast & distract. …

I’ve long thought that ranking/starring films/books/recipes/*experiences* is too one dimensional, as we like different things depending on our mood/context.

I really like the idea of having lists “for <context>”. I’ve thought of making these by tagging eg. a book with “is:inspiring”, “isvery:slow”…

Thinking out loud is great! At least we'll have a record of it when we *do* find a spare 10 minutes 😂

The (now sadly closed) fission.codes approach seems perfect; have a CBOR document describing the state of the game, with an IPLD link to the WASM blob which lists valid “next moves”/actions. (Then an app which wraps that for display on any of various platforms).

Only things stopping me are:
1. I’d need to store private data on the PDS (a bunch of private keys for each game) — hopefully this comes soon!
2. Enough time to do it 😅

Would be nice to be able to play games in a way that allowed people on different platforms/apps/everything to be able to interplay

#atproto app I can’t get out of my head: A (fully decentralised) board/card game platform.

“Mental poker” maths means the game state (including unknown things) are in yours & your opponents’ PDS *only*.

Game logic is a WASM blob that takes & emits that state, provides iframe-able HTML/JS.

It’d be an interesting meta-feed feature in itself, but I *bet* there are some really really unsuitable tag combinations with single character differences! 😅

JP @byjp.me · 9d

Gosh, I don’t usually care about typos on here, but mistyping #atproto was a fail wasn’t it.

Is it time for someone to CrowdSupply a tiny computer that connects to your WiFi router, runs an #atoroto PDS, hole punches automatically, and comes with a no-subscription subdomain?

Like; *really* own your own data?

Well this is very cool. I'd totally get an open source, wall mounted, raspberry pi powered inkjet. Especially as it can print by just cutting sheets off a roll of paper.

Doesn’t look like others are that interested sadly!

I’ll keep an eye on it in case there’s a groundswell of interest later, but for now I figure those who want a knot have a server they run themselves!

If you'd also be interested in hosting your @tangled.org source code on #PikaPods, drop an upvote here and let's see if we can make it happen 😊

@tangled.org Hey folks, would you be up for working with the team at www.pikapods.com to make Knot and Spindle servers available there?
I think it'd be a great match; folks can run "their own" Tangled infra with ease, *and* you can apply to receive 20% of the proceeds.

Though this would only cover the "stream from the server" case, and not the "play locally" case. Perhaps, if teal.fm had a last.fm compatible API, it might be feasible to do a cheeky redirect, or may be easier to convince the Plex team to allow for toggling between services.

JP @byjp.me · 23d

There's a pretty well documented API though, and I think (as a software engineer myself) it'd be fairly easy to build a separate app that'd watch for who plays what/when, and send details to teal.fm.
