This is what we've been working on over the last few weeks. It's our own little contribution to the atmosphere: "zero friction" PDS hosting. There are still lots of great features in the pipeline, but we wanted to get started early and share our progress openly with you.

I’ve tried to stay calm these past few days but reality is I’m pissed as hell. Pissed at @ec.europa.eu and @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu acting like influencers for a closed platform. Be on W, be on Bluesky, be on mu, but promote a gated platform as your solution to the social media mess we’re in?

the painful thing about it is that with maybe a week of work, @bsky.app has the power to make account migration ACTUALLY ACCESSIBLE AND USABLE to non-technical users. it almost is — but these three or four papercuts each ruin the flow

Kept thinking about the Cal.com thing. The security argument is the small story. Maintainer burnout + AI generated PR floods + faster-than-human vuln scans, all pressing on the same 30-year dev stack, is the bigger one. Something made it #OutOfMyNotetakingSoftware

Software is changing

Open source maintainers are burning out, AI is flooding repos with plausible-looking garbage, and vulnerability scanners are outpacing human patches. Going closed source isn't the answer.

Sam @samsour.de · 27/05/2026

going closed source now is locking the gates while the guards are still outside. Good read by @adamconway.ie www.xda-developers.com/cal-went-clo...

xda-developers.com

Cal.com just went closed source over AI, but AI is exactly why open source still wins

Going closed source now feels like the wrong move.

has someone recently used an iPad for (web) development? There has been this 2021 approach to just host a VSCode instance and use it in the browser. But are there local alternatives today that are really usable?

Something finally made it out of my notetaking software. If you are interested in me trying to figure out why mainstream social platforms annoy me:

Toxic positivity is the belief that one must stay positive and avoid negative emotions, even in difficult situations, which can hinder healthy emotional coping. Creating a GitHub Repo be like: "Great repository names are short and memorable. How about friendly-happiness?" Just use @tangled.org.
