DASL: Web Tiles
Tiles are composable web docs and apps that can safely be used in arbitrary contexts and assembled from multiple sources to carry out complex user interface tasks. Their composability, security, and privacy properties make them ideal for use in social media, chat, agents, and malleable software.
Web Tiles as the base for Lexicon Embeds
Now that @robin.berjon.com has released an initial spec and implementation of Web Tiles, we can see how we can use or extend this as a base for Lexicon Embeds. Lexicon Embeds is my label for how to have native ATProto content embed in different apps, from display all the way to interactivity— eg an event post in bsky with an RSVP button. Getting this as a general capability - and getting security and display right - means embeds can function in Leaflet and Bsky and anywhere else, rather than o...

The Web Needs a Context Layer Built on a Shared Protocol
Making context a shared protocol, rather than a platform feature, would let readers see competing perspectives anywhere on the web, argue Mallory Knodel, Evan Friedman, and Brad Friedman.
All you need is links
When Tim Berners Lee talks about how he designed the web, he uses an analogy from physics, describing his process as a quest to find “fundamental laws” which can generate a desired system:
Editable — the website you can edit on the page
Editable lets you build and edit a Svelte website without adding a separate CMS. Editors work directly on the page, while the content model, components, layouts, and styling is defined in code.
