Self rendering Markdown
I compiled all the Javascript Markdown scripts into a test deploy on [[Fission]] at https://petite-junior-angular-llama.fission.app.
@-mentions as key network signifier
Had a good call with [[Rabble]] talking about [[UCAN]], [[Planetary]], and the "discovery" problem in social networks. Specifically, mapping unique identifiers like a hash or a key to a username. And, that those usernames probably all look like @username (back to [[Social Mentions]]!).
Twitter was the undisputed champion of @-usernames, but I'd say that Instagram is as big or bigger depending on the context. Celebrity, food, small business are increasingly defaulting to IG as the primary @-username.
Yes, many other systems use @-usernames, but the "default" mapping is to Twitter.
Idea that I floated for portability / look-ups: usernames linked to [[DID]]s using [[Verifiable Claims]]. This "proves" that a DID has control over a username on a given network.

Web Renewal
[[Phil Jones]] has a page on his wiki about a [[web renewal]]: http://thoughtstorms.info/view/WebRenewal
The rediscovery of the same types of community and values that excited us at TheDawnOfWiki.
Hopefully a rediscovery that is long-lived?
That word 'rediscovery' chimes with the article that was in the MIT Technology Review recently: Digital gardens let you cultivate your own little bit of the internet. It's a nice article, but is pretty much describing home pages from way back when, like they're a new thing.
It's not the hyped-up search for WebThreePointZero or TheNextBigThing. Instead it's a return to seeking something of the openness and freedom that has been lost with the rise of giants like Twitter, Facebook and Google.
I hope the openness and freedom comes back and remains. I have a bit of a worry that for example Roam Research is going to become something like the Facebook of the personal wiki.
