Hello & happy new year!
Wanted to share a new post we wrote — a vision, an exhortation — on "small-scale social" tools and networks on the internet:
- Things we value in cozy online social spaces, and want to bring to life
- Others in the small-scale socialverse, a burgeoning "shared society", and what we see as our role in it
- An emerging network topology, and how we might continue to create our own corners of the map :)
Check it out & let us know what you think!
If these ideas resonate — magic circles, ambitious projects, building shared homes — we'd love to explore this landscape together.
New year, new projects?
If you've been meaning to get started learning or creating something, and could use a space to tinker and organize your thoughts & work, consider trying Hyperlink!
Sneak peek: refactoring Studios
On Hyperlink, Studios are places for a group of people to collect and organize projects and gatherings.
A few months back we shipped a barebones early version; now we're making some big improvements, rolling out over the coming weeks.
We've been working with folks who organize group activity online and are looking for a better home for this activity than docs + discord + whatever.
Running a workshop series? Planning a tiny online conference for internet friends? Want an online space for irl studiomates to share work? Let's chat!
