The fact that anyone is still using Google Search at all is a demonstration of the power of defaults and switching friction. In a competitive market, this joke of a product would just be dead already.

Are you thinking about digital infrastructure?
Do you have plans this weekend?

There's still time to apply for a Digital Infrastructure Insights Funds grant and put the fun in funded!

I have seen a lot of fun+hopeful theorizing about indie/small web stuff lately, but what's the best writing on a plausible theory of how we get from 👇🏽 (Google black hole of content) to ... something more human(e). I admit I don't see what the virtuous spiral is that counteracts this ☹️

@luis_in_brief @molly0xfff @aral @mariafarrell The web is huge (or, at least, a healthy web is huge) and therefore we shouldn't expect a silver bullet solution that just works across the board in an instant. A core component of my plan is https://darobin.github.io/wise/ but it's still very much in development and that document doesn't have all of the moving parts yet.

If you wanted to build a database/website on Notion but then instead wanted to do it in a portable, FLOSS-y way, how would you do it?

@ntnsndr Accessible by others, but you're the one editing? I haven't tried it, but there's a hosted service that goes with Obsidian.
