🧐 Ah, yes, the #BeeKEM protocol, where we learn that #privacy and #consent are apparently revolutionary ideas—because obviously, no one ever thought of them before these "local-first" geniuses. 🤦‍♂️ Let's all pretend the world didn't already know about #autonomy before #Keyhive came along to save us from ourselves! 🚀

Apparently, we've reached the glorious era where an #open-source #AI agent can regurgitate cookie-cutter apps from the bowels of a "Neon" platform, all while developers sip coffee and pretend to be productive ☕🤖. In true tech fashion, it proudly claims to be "localfirst"—because what's more revolutionary than solving problems no one had? 🌟✨

Yesterday the "Reflection" project started officially as part of the new @PrototypeFund round! 🌟🌈

The team consists of @p2panda and people from the GNOME gang around @tbernard and @jsparber.

We gonna release "Reflection" (formerly Aardvark) - a GTK-based, collaborative, local-first text editor! Aaaand:

All of this is part of a larger effort to explore p2p code, UX patterns, reusable UI components, debugging tools, organize events and document our learnings.

We saw some great talks at LocalFirst!

From more powerful sync engines, local first operating systems, to solving epidemics and forestry.
These people are amazing, and we're lucky to rub shoulders with all of these wonderful people.

Already cannot wait for next year! 🌱
