AI is becoming an operating system for your life. Will that system be yours? Or will it be rented to you? We believe user-sovereignty provides the better experience. If that resonates, join us in the Discord and together we'll make it a reality. --> discord.com/invite/hBPQ9...

If you’re like us, it’s not unusual to create a new piece of software in just a couple hours. With AI, we’re going from idea to working tool over and over again every day. Dashboards, workflows, little utilities, that type of thing. But what happens when you have to share it? 🧵
AI-made personal tools can't hit the publication threshold unless you go "vibe-code mode" and put on the wraparound sunglasses and lo-fi beats. Tonk makes software easy to share, so it's all rainbows and sparkles for your personal software.

We’re producing software faster than ever. AI has changed the economics of software creation so dramatically that writing code is no longer the hard part.

Your next phone will be something closer to a companion than a tool. It will know your rhythms and hold your memories. But before it can talk to your neighbor's companion, it needs a shared platform, matching accounts, and a server that is still running. That is bad and here's why ->

Ten years chasing the same coordination problem. Gavin on why local-first is the only credible answer he's found.

Carry is a CLI tool we built on top of Dialog-DB to make the source of truth problem tractable in practice. A structured, persistent collective memory. The schema forms at query time. Repositories sync whenever they connect. Try it: github.com/tonk-labs/carry

The source of truth problem is older than AI. Agents just make it urgent. Gavin wrote up why knowledge fractures at the edges, why files and traditional databases both fail, and what Dialog-DB does differently.

Most software works like data analysis in the mainframe days. You file a ticket, wait for engineering, get a deployment. Then spreadsheets put the analyst at the centre of the loop. Tonk is the same shift for your software. The Road to Tonk Substrate: tonk.xyz/updates/road...
