Some thoughts about our approach to integrations in semble. Curious to know how others are thinking about integrations across the ATmosphere!

semantic web: "Anyone can say anything about anything"
protocol-powered collective sense-making: "Anyone can contextualize anything from anywhere"

Thanks!

is there a default knot I can use on @tangled.org? the interface for creating a new repo only allows for using ones I've registered myself.

the lexicons are in our open source repo here bsky.app/profile/wesl...

as for reinventing "collections" it feels weird to say we are "inventing" it since its a very lightweight "link" pointing between 2 records. The main challenge as I see it the UX around lexicon interop

Wesley Finck @wesleyfinck.org · Sep 14

collection lexicon: github.com/cosmik-netwo...
collection link lexicon: github.com/cosmik-netwo...

note the "collaborators" field in the collection lexicon, which for this approach means only the author of the record can add or remove collaborators.

"Like with open source, open social is a compounding effort. Every mildly successful open social app lifts all open social apps. Every piece of shared infrastructure can benefit somebody else. At some point, open is bound to win."

i wrote about atproto and why it matters

Open Social — overreacted

The protocol is the API.

We handle collections for semble with a “link” record that points from the collection record to the bookmark record, but this approach could be generalize. It would be very RDF triple like

We're also thinking about using archive/wayback machine to capture snapshots of a website at the time of bookmarking and using the changes to the website as part of the social sensemaking context that Semble can provide

this is mostly the brainchild of @bmann.ca but a very exciting direction and will be a cross project group effort

very true. getting over the hump of paying for quality products is a great place to be. I'm honestly happy every time I make a search on kagi, it feels healthy in addition to being very high quality

github.com/CondeNast/at... seems interesting and possibly relevant as we want to support web annotations at some point

GitHub - CondeNast/atjson: atjson is a living content format for annotating content

Some serious cooking with @bmann.ca & @ronent.bsky.social about Semble. Never thought I’d hear Boris say “my brain is mush” from too much #atproto talk. Excited to share out our roadmap for all of this.

As a language learner, I try to think about languages within a "fluency pyramid". The idea here would be to start with my least fluent language, then progressively translate into more fluent languages until the meaning of the text is understood.

A good browser extension helps a lot!

Wesley Finck @wesleyfinck.org · Sep 14

@kagi.com has a translate webapp + extension which is HUGE for language learners like myself. I can easily translate selected text or entire pages (yes, even my bsky feed) into any chosen target language. translate.kagi.com/extension

AND this is why making reviews visible (and obv user owned) is so useful
