How I'm solving for sharps or flats in a key right now while each key still isn't memorized. I remember 'BEADGCF' with the phrase "BEADing is Good Clean Fun" (my daughter does beading so was top of mind). Then read left to right for flats or right to left for sharps. #musictheory #lifelonglearner

I added real time collaborative editing with presence markers to a web app in about 2hrs with Claude Code and OSS. Just a few years ago this would have taken a team months. I’ve been following CRDT tech for a while so have slightly more than a clue, but yeah, 2hrs…pretty fun. #limitless

We just released the first stable version of iroh, v1.0! Read about it: www.iroh.computer/blog/v1 We're super proud of where we landed with iroh's 1.0. Since version 0.35 it feels like we've entirely replaced the "engine underneath". Are you a fellow key-dialer? Come tell us how you use iroh!

Gotchya. Yeah, bluesky/atproto does a great job of making some of this tech mainstream, and with that comes 'trust/legitimacy' that will help builders get it into the hands of users. But not for all use cases perhaps. I'll keep poking around... webvh is also on my radar. cheers!

I'm thinking writes (log entries) by multiple individuals (to the same log). I'm not sure if there is a delegation capability in did:plc..or even if that is/should be desirable!

Rob Elves @rob.elves.id · 30/03/2026
Ah thanks, okay so there is recourse if somebody deletes the DIDs PDS. Re delegation, I'm considering the case where the log has multiple (authorized, delegated) writers.

Agreed @bumblefudge.com , and I think that's likely my next direction here. Still have questions around delegation and rug-pull protection if one can just delete their PDS..but admittedly haven't dug deep yet.

Yeah, a bit bloated, but has some hardware adoption already. The challenge of anchoring to a SSI remained a question for me. A related initiative we sponsored in the past might be of interest iscc.io , github.com/iscc. But a non-blockchain solution would be more ideal, in hindsight.

Once I got over the amazement of @iroh.computer 's reliable encrypted P2P connectivity, the next unlock was the ease of protocol stacking (and the modularity that affords).
