Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 02/10/2026Television is a beautiful workspace for your artifacts. I use it every day to plan my life, build projects, and accumulate knowledge. Now available for all to try (and open source): television.run 4635
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 18/09/2026Artifacts in a generative UI should feel native, like they're all part of the same system. For our latest alpha release for Television, all your artifacts are now based on the same comprehensive design system (which also means you can theme the entire UI!) 000
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 16/09/2026Erm, slightly ominous notes from the poem clock today given the news cycle... @genmon.fyi 010
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 28/08/2026Television *extreme dogfooding* – music collector's edition. Apple Music sucks, Spotify sucks, I just want to collect and organize all my songs in a simple way that I own that works no matter where the music is. Apparently, no one wants to make me a nice app for that. so... 3191
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 28/08/2026Checking off my list: a new, improved UI for Television, our GUI for agents. 080
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 14/08/2026working on resizing dynamics for television.run lately we've migrated to a 100% spec-driven design process, which I'm looking forward to sharing more about 080
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 04/08/2026Kicking it in Sydney at Homebrew Agents Club tonight @johnfallsopp.com @webdirections.org 041
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 31/07/2026Working on a new layout system for television.run (design prototyping is very fun right now) 3272
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 16/07/2026instead of apps, Television has skills! apps do one thing well, but are inflexible. vibe-coded UIs can do anything, but are inconsistent and sloppy. with artifact skills in our latest release, you can create reliable, beautiful interfaces that are bespoke for a particular moment and purpose 160
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 03/06/2026My co-founder @stlhood.bsky.social was interviewed for Adaptive Software on the future of interfaces, what we think is next, and why chat isn't it. adaptivesoftware.substack.com/p/the-interf... 1162

Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 22/05/2026planning my day with Hermes & the Television gui we're building at Telepath 050
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 12/05/2026working on an experimental GUI that works with any agent harness, and turns it into an new kind of computer 1230
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 27/04/2026Today, I'm excited to be launching "A New Computer" it's a podcast from me and @stlhood.bsky.social, where we examine the end of the "personal computer" as we know it, and what comes next anewcomputer.riverside.com 3154
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 24/03/2026Put a new photos section up on my personal homepage recently. I've been enjoying taking more photos over the last couple of years, especially in nature. First up, my recent trip to the incredible Sedona. ruperts.world/photos 0110
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 20/03/2026We just released Stash — fast local-first folder sync across your devices & agents. It's backed by GitHub, with more storage providers coming. We've been using this internally to keep notes, docs, and skills in sync across computers, team members, and remote agents. Now available on npm. 3352
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 18/02/2026Typography fans: this is my favorite coding font now by far. A lovely riff on IBM Plex Mono called Lilex. 2360
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 16/02/2026Hey obsidian users! if you—like me—outsource a significant part of your mind to notes, I'm making something you might find interesting. Reply/message me if you want to beta test it 19162
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 15/02/2026TIL in web technology... Years after Pinterest popularized the look, the masonry layout can now be achieved without hacks & JavaScript. webkit.org/blog/17660/i... 2241
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 13/01/2026Re-reading “The Design of Everyday Things” today, when the pen I was holding spontaneously disassembled into 7 pieces and fell into the bath. I guess that was one of the bad designs then? (There should have at least been a signifier for that affordance) 030
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 19/08/2025Landing in NYC for #ProtocolsForPublishers. We have a pretty awesome group of folks coming together to work on keeping the future of the internet open! #PfP 0162
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 17/07/2025When your personal computer is intelligent, it's good to know whose side it's on. 050
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 08/07/2025From The Information today. We'll be seeing a lot more of this locking down of data. App-makers are reacting to the threat of a new, intelligent software environment in which apps aren't as important. It's not just the context wars, it's the app vs. environment wars. 052
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 18/06/2025Thinking about my position that AI in creativity is just a tool, not a replacement for an artist. I'm not as optimistic about that as I used to be. (No final thoughts here yet, just initial reactions to an interview with Rick Rubin.) publish.obsidian.md/ruperts-note... 020
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 11/06/2025Want to amplify the "Malleable software" paper from Ink & Switch – this is an important step in defining much more flexible & natural paradigm for human-computer interaction Article: www.inkandswitch.com/essay/mallea... My notes: publish.obsidian.md/ruperts-note... 020
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 29/05/2025Hacking on the future of browsers with the rest of the User & Agents crew today in Berlin 🤘🌐 041
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 27/05/2025This little web command client can now take actions using Web Applets & the Unternet kernel love how it can reads the map pin data to recommend me a vegetarian spot (can't do that with the DOM or a vision model) 033
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 26/05/2025Fun experiment today making a command line for the web, based on Unternet's kernel It's cool that the LLMs know enough about URL structure to hallucinate stuff that works! (It's just guessing based on what it knows about how GitHub's paths work – it's actually kinda handy) 162
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 25/05/2025Hallo Deutschland! Looking forward to a week of local first #localfirstconf 160
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 20/05/2025Nailed it, @komorama.bsky.social We have a huge opportunity here – there's no reason the future user interface for *all your computing* needs to be tied to OpenAI. We can build a new, uniquely personal computer that you own, without your entire digital life being locked to one company or provider. 0123
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 14/05/2025Rediscovered desktop neo today (by @lennartziburski.com). In particular, vibing on this home screen desktopneo.com 040
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 13/05/2025Cool demo from Kosmik showing this idea of "unbundling the browser/internet" that inspired Unternet's name – a search engine that extracts content directly, instead of giving you a bunch of links 000
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 07/05/2025Our client can now use web applets! This has been a big missing piece since we set out to create this client from scratch in January. You can now add an applet from our directory, with just a URL, and interact with entire apps on the web — all driven by your LLM of choice, locally on your machine 1132
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 26/04/2025Our open-source cognitive kernel is powering our intelligent workspace for the web — routing user input → action execution → output. Now with local file support: drop in a map image and it reads it & gets a weather forecast. 031
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 03/04/2025working on the guts of our kernel, re-introduced a much more flexible action-calling ability that allows arbitrary protocols (meaning we can expand to MCP, shell commands, local file operations, etc.) 031
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 18/03/2025Emanating some new vibes across the www from unternet.co 160
Rupert Manfredi @ruperts.world · 17/03/2025Slowly building up my knowledge of US flora. So different from Australia. This past weekend, a trip to Muir Woods turned up some interesting new-to-me species... 230
