As I bring my code repositories back online I'm going to accompany them with a weekly-ish post. This is as much for me as it is for you, because doing this slowly and thoughtfully gives me a chance to revisit some projects that I haven't looked at in a long time, and might play a role in future work.
Pouch
Pouch is at the center of an experiment I started in "convivial software". I even started writing a book about it. This repo has never been published publicly before (maybe I should have reviewed it first...) but it is probably the first realization of ideas about a way of making software that was inspired by
Illich's Tools for Conviviality as well as a number of other books I was reading at the time.
Cartesia
Cartesia is mostly references to other posts on creating a new-but-not-entirely-new type of online space, inspired by conversations with friends in a Signal group who wanted something more. The idea of making a place which is built from the inside-out is something I've long been interested in and experimented with, and Cartesia is maybe the latest incarnation of that.
