Welcome to the [[Agora]]!

Ahoy there!

This [[Agora]] is a [[wiki like]] [[experimental social network]] and [[distributed knowledge graph]].

• /nodes lists all [[pages]] in this Agora.
  • A [[node]] is the set of all notes and resources with a given title or otherwise mapping to an [[entity description]]. Subnodes (blocks) in a node can come from a variety of sources; they are resources volunteered by Agora users through their independent [[repositories]]. As of August 2021, these are mostly notes from [[digital gardens]].
  • /latest shows nodes by modification time.
• /users displays all users in this Agora. Click through to see their contributions.
  • /journals displays all subnodes that look like they belong to a daily entry (these are subnodes whose filenames look like dates, such as YYYY-MM-DD).

The [[wikilink]] is the heart of this [[Agora]]: wikilinks serve as a tool to indicate a social [[context]] assembled out of individual and group contributions. In this Agora, [[foo bar]] will resolve to every resource that identifies with entity 'foo'; in particular, currently every file named foo-bar.md, foo-bar.jpg, foo-bar.png, etc. An Agora tries to best-effort integrate user contributions while preserving meaning and volunteering interesting information. You can also think of it as a [[sequential wiki]].

If you'd like to join this Agora, please refer to [[agora signup]]. If you'd like to run your own Agora, please refer to [[agora install]] and/or reach out to [[flancian]], the maintainer.

If you're interested in knowing what's coming next, please refer to [[agora plan]] or join [[flancia collective]].

Have a nice day!

• This is a user contributed [[subnode]].
• Any Agorean can contribute a file named index.md in their gardens and it will show here, in the Agora's index. Later on ranking/filtering algorithms might need to be implemented. These will be open and community maintained.
• I am a [[Flancian]], who are you?

Waste of time

Welcome to the [[digital-garden]]^* of [[ankostis]].

• [[inbox]] - a place to write down quick notes to be categorized later
• [[todo]] - a place to keep track of things to do
• [[PKDB]] - Personal Knowledge Database setup & TODOs

* this garden is based on foam.

This is my space for Notes[[second-brain-lmn" class="wikilink">Yes, basically a personal wiki, although becoming known as a Second Brain::lmn]], saving and highlighting Articles and other Links.[[My general rule is that if I share something with two people, I should capture it as a local note.::rmn]]

Seeds

You can browse current and past [[Projects]]. These are mainly small [[Vancouver]] focused things, I'm pretty busy as the founder of [[Fission]].[[Check out the Fission blog.::lmn]]

Starting with the [[Startup]] note, there are various operations guides, products, and recommendations to explore.

If I haven't sent it to you already, you should read [[When Tailwinds Vanish: The Internet in the 2020s]].[[Software companies founded today are competing less with pen and paper than with other Internet-first incumbents. Put another way, as happens in every maturing industry before it, Internet company revenue will become zero-sum. As a corollary, the time between founding years of software startups and their competitive incumbents is shrinking — When Tailwinds Vanish::rmn]]

The [[Gumroad No Full Time Employees]] article is also a good read.[[Today, working at Gumroad resembles working on an open source project like Rails. Except it’s neither open source, nor unpaid. — @shl, No Meetings, No Deadlines, No Full-Time Employees::lmn]]

Matthew's Index

Hi, I'm Matthew Thomas ([[@mwt/identity]]) you can find my things at [[@mwt/README]].

This knowledge graph is a work in progress that will eventually become a specification for the unrival protocol.

Unrival is a protocol that can be used to create bottom-up, distributed social credit networks. These networks can track the credibility of their member agents, whose actions may lead to accumultation or loss of credit (a proxy for credibility).

Agents of disjoint networks with very different notions of credibility -- divided by political or religious differences, for example -- can nonetheless exchange credit, because Unrival ledgers implement the recursive credit-commons-protocol.

The intended effect is the rectification-of-names. In colloquial terms, this means making sure things are what they say they are (at least within the confines of an Unrival network)

Ultimately, the goal is to create a foundation for effective decentralized governance. We believe in rules over rulers. And since Unrival is adaptive, principles over rules.

To learn more, have a look at the whitepaper: https://github.com/unrival-protocol/documentation/blob/main/source/whitepaper.org
